Wallace disappointed in criticism: "Mad that people test my integrity"

The pull cord of the garage door was knotted like a noose, Wallace stresses in conversation with CNN. "It was a noose. Whether tied in 2019 or whatever, it was a noose. So, it wasn't directed at me but somebody tied a noose. That's what I'm saying", the 26-year-old American counters.

The fact that Wallace is now being called a liar and other similar terms hurts him. "I'm mad because people are trying to test my character and the person that I am and my integrity. But they don't take my dignity away from me. I know, I shouldn't be looking at those social media reactions either. But my side of the story needs to be heard."

So the NASCAR driver leaves the criticism for what it is. "This will not break me, none of the allegations of being a hoax will break me or tear me down. It will piss me off, absolutely. But that only fuels the competitive drive in me to shut everybody up. I'm proud of who I am and I'll always be walking around the track with a smile", he concludes.
