NASCAR has released the first official image of the garage-style knot that was fashioned into what appears to be a noose inside Bubba Wallace’s garage at the Talladega Superspeedway, which sparked an internal investigation.

NASCAR President Steve Phelps said that “upon learning of and seeing the noose, our initial reaction was to protect our driver.”
