NASCAR officials have launched an investigation into claims that the Bubba Wallace team radio was hacked — and derogatory comments were made — following a race over the weekend, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The hacker allegedly told Wallace that he was “not wanted” in the sport.
The alarming incident was not the first time Wallace, a Black driver, was subject to harassment. Back in 2020, a noose was found in his team’s garage.
Despite heightened tension at the time, due to unrest across the county in response to George Floyd being killed by ex-cop Derek Chauvin, the FBI concluded its investigation and refused the label the event a hate crime.
