NASCAR rallies around Bubba Wallace following noose incident, drivers push car to front of pack

It also appears that there were no other noose ties used for pulls there.

It's pretty clear this was tied as a door pull with the novel racist implications attached, but not specifically intended for Bubba.  

That Bubba's team was assigned the stall amplified the poor taste and choice of that tie as a door pull.  

Personally I don't see it as any kind of amusing novelty or action.  It's not necessary, and was clearly intended to have the history and meaning of a noose attributed to it.  It's petty and embarrassing.  Let's move on and put out the message that other door pull knots should be used, if at all.

Until you realize the AR is the back up to the .45.. in this house anyway.

Get by me, you got to get by her next.

yes a weapon that you are both well trained to use means much more in your house than the average person with one who would be better served with a semi auto shotgun for home defense.

I tie noose from time to time instead of simple loop for things, not for any racial reason, just time to waste.

Somebody tied this. Not for the reasons the libtard blm think.

 

agreed,  it to me does not indicate anything racial.  Esp when you consider how few AA's are in the nascar pits every weekend.

You guys will argue all day to make it seem like you didn't fall for this.  Just admit it.  You were fooled because you have been programmed to think this way.

The point is, it wasn't a noose, you fell for it, get over it. 

So if it looks like a noose and works like a noose, it's not a noose?

Dude, it's a fucking noose. A small noose but non the less it's a fucking noose.

Exactly, so to the average dipshit looking for attention it was a noose, but to most it was just a garage pull rope.  Maybe if it was not attached the GARAGE DOOR, there would be an issue, but it was just a pull rope.

Who gives a shit.  FFS it was not meant to be anything racist.

 

How do you know that?

It's the deep south, I'm guessing whoever tied it thought it was a hilarious racist joke.

Was it there prior to the hundreds of pics of the garage pull knot which is assigned to any driver prior to the race or is this only 1 single solitary pic that 9 FBI agents could possibly take that absolutely positively does not show that this Bubba's assigned garage. That fn pic of an actual noose was generated after the fukwad of stupidity realized they had NUTHIN and Nascar n Bubba were exploding like a tube of Vagisil left in a hot car. YTF are all google pics of the knot or the noose blocked other than the brand new rope from the view that DOES NOT show that this is Bubba's garage. The pic provided 2 days later provides zero proof. None. Zero. No different than a meme thrown in as evidence. It's a fn farse

Every single pic of "the pull rope" is from the outside showing garage #4. 9 fn FBI guys aren't smart enough to take a pic that identifies the garage ??  Fn retarded dumb and somebody is paying to block the google results.

NASCAR Releases Image of Noose Found in Bubba Wallace’s Garage

“As you can see from the photo, the noose was real, as was our concern for Bubba,” said Steve Phelps, the president of NASCAR.

NASCAR on Thursday released a photo of the noose that was found last weekend in the Talladega Superspeedway garage stall assigned to Darrell Wallace Jr., the lone black driver in NASCAR’s premier series, following criticism that racing officials had overreacted.

“As you can see from the photo, the noose was real, as was our concern for Bubba,” Steve Phelps, the president of NASCAR, using Wallace’s nickname, told reporters in a telephone news conference on Thursday.

Federal officials said Tuesday that they had determined that Wallace, 26, had not been the target of a hate crime, forcing him into the position of defending himself from the baseless accusation that he or his racing team staged the incident to gain favorable publicity.

While NASCAR characterized the noose as a pull rope for a garage door that was “fashioned like a noose,” other people insisted it was just a rope with a handle. The statement from the Department of Justice called the rope a “noose.”

Phelps acknowledged that NASCAR’s own investigation was inconclusive. “We were unfortunately unable to determine with any certainty who tied this rope in this manner or why it was done,” he said.

He also said the sport had enhanced security for Wallace, was installing cameras in all NASCAR garages, and would require sensitivity training for NASCAR employees, in order to prevent any similar episodes in the future.

“We want everyone with a love for racing to feel welcomed and a part of our NASCAR family and our industry is going to protect our own against anyone that feels differently,” Phelps said.

The image was released two days after the authorities concluded that no federal crimes were committed.

The noose was discovered Sunday afternoon by a member of Wallace’s racing team, who alerted NASCAR officials, Phelps said. The organization then informed Wallace of the discovery and released a statement that evening calling it a “heinous act.” The following day, federal officials opened an investigation.

Jay E. Town, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, and Johnnie Sharp Jr., the head of the F.B.I.’s office in Birmingham, Ala., said that video footage showed the noose had been in the garage as early as October 2019, before anyone knew it would be assigned to Wallace for the Geico 500 on Monday.

“I think we’ll gladly take a little embarrassment over what the alternatives could have been,” he added.

The discovery of the noose came amid national protests over police brutality and systemic racism following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month, and NASCAR’s recent ban of the Confederate battle flag from its events and properties. Wallace, who called for the ban, had also unveiled a “Black Lives Matter” message on his racecar this month.

On Thursday, Phelps defended his initial response.

“Should we have toned that message down slightly? Maybe we should have,” he said. “And I’ll take responsibility for that. I stand by the actions that we took and I think they were the right ones.”

As part of NASCAR’s investigation, 1,684 garage areas across 29 racetracks were inspected, he said. Only 11 pull-down ropes tied into a knot were found and only one of those — the one found in Wallace’s garage — was tied in a noose, he said.

Phelps said he was surprised by the results of the federal investigation, since he and others initially believed it may have been a hate crime.

He said he was troubled by the idea that several people saw the noose before it was brought to the attention of NASCAR officials.

“Odds are someone saw it and didn’t react negatively to it,” Phelps said. “So we need to make sure that doesn’t happen in the future.”

Again. 9 fn FBI guys couldn't take a pic that showed garage #4 ? That pic from the inside of any garage took 2 days to appear. A fn crackhead that takes a pic of the car that didn't pay for a blow job 30 seconds after she spits it out gets the license plate in it but 9 FBI guys cant take a correlating pic within 48 hours of the garage # that their noose is hanging from ? 

Yes, that's a noose. Is it shown hanging from garage #4... NO

Case dismissed

He is claiming that pic is fake because it doesn't show the stall number. From a photography perspective that's exactly how I would shoot the photo. You can't see the rope as well shooting in to the garage because it gets lost in the background of the garage.
