WIS. HIGH SCHOOL COACH QUITS OVER NASCAR TWEETS

CAMBRIDGE, Wis.— A Wisconsin high school golf coach has resigned and apologized for a series of racist tweets aimed at NASCAR driver DarrellWallace Jr.

Brent Nottestad resigned Thursday as coach at Cambridge High School. Nottestad apologized, saying the tweets he posted Wednesday aboutWallace, an African- American NASCAR driver, “went way over the line and it became racist.”

The Cambridge News and Deerfield Independent reported in one tweet Nottestad referred to the number “1423,” which the Anti- Defamation League says is associated with a white supremacist prison gang. Nottestad says his choice of the number was random.
