At the height of racial tension in the U.S. in 2020, a rope, tied like a noose, was found in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's garage at a NASCAR track.

The outcry was loud, and the day after the rope was found, Wallace led a large pack of drivers and other NASCAR personnel before a race at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama in solidarity amid Black Lives Matter protests.

The FBI ultimately found that the rope was a "garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose" that had been there long before Wallace took over the garage.

"One in a million, katrillion coincidences that I had that garage stall," Wallace told "The Breakfast Club" on Power 105.1 in New York during an interview on Wednesday.

Co-host Charlamagne tha God joked, "They knew you was coming," and the two shared a laugh.

Wallace said that it's still a common topic of conversation.

"It’s wild. You should see my Twitter mentions. ‘Bubba finished third. Well, was there a noose?’" It’s wild that it’s still going," he related.

Wallace said he's "moved on" from the situation, but it took a while to get used to his new reality.

"It sucks the sport was put in that situation, that I was put in that situation, our team was put in that situation, but we’ve learned a lot about who we are as a sport and competitors, and that’s all you can ask for," he said.
