NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace addressed the crowd at Talladega Superspeedway on Monday following a 14th-place finish.
Wallace raced one day after a noose was found in his garage on Sunday. NASCAR launched an investigation shortly thereafter.
"Whoever it was, you're not going to take away my smile," Wallace told the crowd at Talladega. "I'm going to keep on going."
NASCAR drivers showed support for Wallace prior to Monday's race as all drivers and their respective pit crews joined together to push Wallace's No. 43 car down the track. NASCAR legend Richard Petty stood beside Wallace near the national anthem in his first race appearance since mid-March.
