The beginning and the ending of NASCAR's telecast on Monday were emotional and powerful moments.
Before the race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, Bubba Wallace, the only Black drive in NASCAR, was flanked by every other driver and their crews as they pushed his car to the front of pit road.
Then, after Wallace finished in 14th place in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series at Talladega race, he greet fans, some wearing "Black Lives Matter" shirts, and got choked up during a post-race interview.
All of this happened a day after a noose was found in Wallace's garage stall at Talladega.
