NASCAR has opened an investigation into how a derogatory message was broadcast on the radio channel of Bubba Wallace's race team during last weekend's All-Star race.
Wallace, NASCAR's only Black driver in the Cup Series, had just finished Sunday's race at North Wilkesboro Speedway when a person not on the 23XI Racing team said over the radio,"Go back to where you came from," and then added a nonracial expletive.
Forde said NASCAR is trying to determine who cracked Wallace's radio communications and how it was done, as well as the best method toward preventing it from happening in the future. "We certainly take that seriously, no doubt about that," he said."But we can't have fans interfering with team radio and potential competition implications."NASCAR had said earlier this week there were no plans to penalize Wallace after he appeared to make an obscene gesture on camera before a live interview with Fox Sports.
