Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. has the support of NASCAR and its drivers.
A noose was found in Wallace’s stall Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, which prompted NASCAR to speak out against the racist incident. NASCAR also took part in a powerful pre-race moment Monday, depicting their full-fledged support for Wallace.
Wallace tweeted out a picture of the moment before the Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Monday afternoon, with him standing in front of his No. 43 Chevrolet and a massive group of fellow NASCAR drivers and crews.
Wallace captioned the photo, “Together.”

Wallace reportedly was moved to tears by the gesture. NASCAR also painted “#IStandWithBubba” in the grass at Talladega.
Both NASCAR and the FBI have launched investigations into the incident.
