After the protests following the death of George Floyd, it became a year where the spotlight fell race car driver Bubba Wallace, as an athlete activist.

The only full time black driver in the Nascar Cup series, he asked for his sport to ban the confederate flag, seen as a hate symbol. Two days later they did.

What followed next, propelled Bubba into the headlines. A member of his racing team found what looked like a noose hanging in his racing stall in Alabama. An FBI investigation followed. But found no hate crime had been committed.

6 months on, Sportshour's Caroline Barker caught up with Bubba Wallace.
