The 26-year-old had said he was the target of a hate crime, after his pivotal role in banning the Confederate flag from rallies.
The claim – in the wake of the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests – touched a raw nerve as nooses were used in the lynching of African Americans in the South.
Speaking to CNN, Wallace said he was angry that he was being accused of staging the event.
“I’m sorry. I’m pissed,” said Wallace told interviewer Don Lemon.
“I’m mad because people are trying to test my character and the person that I am and my integrity. They’re not stealing that from me, but trying to test that.
Wallace said he was trying hard to avoid looking at social media to prevent getting more upset.
“I’m trying hard not to. And the I’ll probably turn my phone off tonight,” he said.
“But to hear my side of the story and I don’t mean to steal your spotlight. My side needs to be heard.”
The driver said claims about him staging the hanging noose will fuel his competitive instincts.
“None of the allegations of being a hoax will break me or tear me down.
And here is the money shot…. Go jest, jester
“That only fuels the competitive drive in me to shut everybody up and get on the track next week and showcase what I can do behind the wheel under tremendous amounts of BS."

You’ve got a drive most people starting NASCAR can only dream about, so how about you shut the fuck up and drive it, or will it only be “fair” and “equal” when they give you a one lap head start because waycism.
Like they say, “when the flag drops, the bullshit stops”

Those pull loops are on the doors of all the pit garages at Talledega, apparently. They look like Bimini twist knots, which don’t slide. Frankly a bowline is quicker and uses less rope, but someone would still call it a noose.

if he didn’t like the confederate flag why didn’t go somewhere he would be happy. these morons whine to be let in to play and the first thing they do is whine about how they don’t like something. could a white guy play football at a black college and whine that the halftime music is too black.

So if his car ends up eating the wall, will that also be construed as racist, or just bad racing?
