NASCAR released a photo of the door pull thought to be a noose in the garage that Bubba Wallace used at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.

Steve Phelps, the president of NASCAR, said “the noose was real” on Thursday, two days after the FBI and Justice Department concluded that a “garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose” had been in the same garage since at least October and did not present a hate crime.
