NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has landed an endorsement deal with Beats by Dre, the company announced on Monday evening. Earlier that day, President Donald Trump posted a tweet criticizing the driver over the recent &#8220;noose&#8221; incident, which Trump called a &#8220;HOAX&#8221; and for which he suggested Wallace should &#8220;apologize.&#8221;
<div class="css-1cscg1p">
&#8220;We weren’t going to announce this until later this week, but hate cannot win the day,&#8221; Beats by Dre posted via Twitter, captioning a photo of Wallace in a Black Lives Matter-themed &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Breathe&#8221; t-shirt. &#8220;No one should ever be asked to apologize for standing up for what’s right — we are proud to welcome [Bubba Wallace] to the Beats by Dr. Dre family.&#8221;

Wallace made headlines last month after his team reported an alleged &#8220;noose&#8221; in the driver&#8217;s garage stall, suspecting it was a racist hate crime against the black athlete.
However, the &#8220;noose&#8221; turned out to be a garage pull &#8220;fashioned like a noose&#8221; that had been used in the stall long before the garage was assigned to Wallace, according to the FBI.
The Beats by Dre endorsement announcement was apparently announced earlier than planned due to President Trump tweeting about the NASCAR driver.
“Has [Bubba Wallace] apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers [and] officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, [and] were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX?” Trump posted on Twitter on Monday. “That [and] Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!” he added in an apparent reference to NASCAR’s decision to ban Confederate flags.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Wallace has since expressed relief that the &#8220;noose&#8221; was not what he feared it was and has thanked NASCAR for their overwhelming support.
Initially, the famed driver expressed frustration over response to the FBI findings, joining left-wing host Don Lemon on CNN airwaves to complain about the &#8220;straight up noose&#8221; and the public&#8217;s response.
“None of the allegations of being a hoax will break me or tear me down,” Wallace told Lemon, as noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bubba-wallace-doesnt-matter-if-we-provide-100-facts">The Daily Wire</a>. “Will it piss me off? Absolutely. But that only fuels the competitive drive in me to shut everybody up, to get back out on the race track next weekend in Pocono, and showcase what I can do behind the wheel. Tremendous amounts of BS, whatever it is that you want to say, you won’t break me, you won’t tear me down. Again, I will still stand proud of where I’m at.”
“I have been racing all my life. We have raced out of hundreds of garages. They never had garage pulls like that,” the driver continued. “People that call it a garage pull and put out videos and photos of knots being in as their evidence, go ahead. But from the evidence that we have, that I have. It’s a straight up noose.”
“The FBI has stated that it was a noose, over and over again,” said Wallace. “NASCAR leadership has stated it was a noose. I can confirm that. I actually got evidence of what was hanging in my garage over my car, to confirm that it was a noose.”
The next day, Wallace released a statement in a more conciliatory and &#8220;relieved&#8221; tone than his Lemon appearance.
“It’s been an emotional few days,” said the driver. “First off, I want to say how relieved I am that the investigation revealed that this wasn’t what we feared it was.”
“I want to thank my team, NASCAR and the FBI for acting swiftly and treating this as a real threat,” Wallace wrote. “I think we’ll gladly take a little embarrassment over what the alternatives could have been.&#8221;
“Make no mistake,” he added, “though some will try, this should not detract from the show of unity we had on Monday, and the progress we’ve made as a sport to become a more welcoming environment for all.”

One NASCAR driver was so resolute about his support for President Trump that his car featured a &#8220;Trump 2020&#8221; theme painted in red, white and blue at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the Brickyard 400 on Sunday.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Although Corey LaJoie&#8217;s No. 32 Ford car got totaled when several cars attempted to enter pit road simultaneously 14 laps into the Brickyard 400, creating a huge pileup, his car will appear in eight additional races following the Brickyard 400. “The incident occurred at the entrance of pit road and in the back half of the field. Both JTG-Daugherty Racing cars driven by Ryan Preece and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were turned sideways. The crash also resulted in DNFs for Martin Truex Jr., Justin Allgaier, Corey Lajoie and Brennan Poole,” <a href="https://www.autoweek.com/racing/a33209295/penske-pit-crew-member-injured-in-brickyard-400-pit-road-crash/">Autoweek</a> reported.
Allgaier stated, &#8220;Starting in the back trying to go forward, the No. 15 (Poole) actually got in the back of me. I didn’t know if I (hit) the gentleman on the No. 12 or not. Once the wreck started happening in front of us and we all got bottled up there, one car after another were getting run into.&#8221;

LaJoie’s car was sponsored by Go Fas Racing, LaJoie&#8217;s racing team, which joined the Patriots of America PAC, which backs Trump. Go Fas Racing team owner Archie St. Hilaire <a href="https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Patriots-of-America-PAC--Go-Fas-Racing-partner-for-nine-races.html?soid=1118954248648&amp;aid=VVzOpO2bdwo">stated</a> in a GoFas Racing press release, &#8220;I am honored to be part of the President&#8217;s re-election campaign through the Patriots of America PAC. As a Trump 2020 supporter, this team will do everything possible to secure victory on and off the track electing President Donald Trump to a second term. Let us bring this country back and Keep America Great!&#8221;
LaJoie asserted, &#8220;With an estimated 75 million NASCAR fans out there, I was surprised that about 15 million of those fans are not registered voters. I will give my best effort to get NASCAR fans registered to vote, through our team efforts on and off the track. When they see the car, hopefully it makes them race to the polls in November.&#8221;
Speaking for Patriots of America PAC, Jeff Whaley said, &#8220;Our mission is to get voters registered and to the polls in November. We are excited about our sponsorship with Go Fas Racing No. 32 and Corey LaJoie. We feel this partnership is the best way to help us communicate this message to the NASCAR community and encourage all Americans to do their part by heading to the polls.&#8221;
Go Fas Racing was founded by Frank Allen Stoddard as FAS Lane Racing, then merged with St. Hilaire&#8217;s Go Green Racing in 2014.
In mid-June, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/09/us/bubba-wallace-confederate-flag-trnd/index.html">announced</a> that his car would feature a &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; theme. He stated, &#8220;I think by running this branding on our car, putting the hashtag out there, bringing more awareness to it, it lines up with the videos that we had put out as NASCAR. Listening and learning. Educating ourselves. So people will look up what this hashtag means. And hopefully get a better understanding.&#8221;
