Just proud to be a winner in the Cup Series,&#8221; Wallace told NBC Sports. &#8220;This is to all those kids out there that want to have an opportunity in whatever they want to achieve and be the best at what they want to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The victory at Talladega is bittersweet for Wallace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year at the track, a noose was found in Wallace&#8217;s garage, prompting an FBI investigation.<\/p><div id=\"first-4242836473\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After their investigation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nascar\/news\/fbi-no-federal-crime-was-committed-against-bubba-wallace-while-investigating-noose-in-his-garage\/\">FBI officials said no crime had been committed<\/a>. The noose, according to the FBI, had been in the garage since 2019 and no one but NASCAR officials could have known that Wallace would be assigned that garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also noted that the rope was a garage door pull rope tied in a loop, so racism, according to the investigation, was not a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident left a bad taste in everyone&#8217;s mouth, but NASCAR and Wallace&#8217;s fellow drivers supported Wallace after the painful and embarrassing incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year later, Wallace&#8217;s victory at Talladega removed the stain left by the rope incident.<\/p><div id=\"first-1995129566\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You&#8217;re gonna go through a lot of bulls**t, but you&#8217;ve always got to stay true to your path and not let the nonsense get to you.
