NASCAR

[The Buscher]

NASCAR and FBI concludes that no crime was committed, it was a door pull down cable hanging that way and that it had been hanging in that garage that way since October.

[Chris2K]

The FBI have determined that the "noose" was actually a rope door handle for the garage. Too slow.

Naturally everyone has just ignored this misunderstanding and moved on, hahahaofcoursenot, Twitter is full of people calling out Bubba as perpretrating a false hate crime, comparing him to Jussie Smollett, and generally setting the world back another 80 years.

To be fair, people were doing that before it was labelled a misunderstanding. Twitter and social media as a whole is a cesspool and I wish it would just go away.

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah sounds more like something nobody would notice in normal times but given everything going on they immediately thought the worst.

[Meacon Keaton]

People don't seem to realize that Bubba never even saw it and it was NASCAR who were the ones to come out and say it was a noose. But Bubba's the black guy so of course he's going to get blamed.

Probably the same twatwaffles who support the Confederate flag and are throwing a fit over that. People are being just as much assholes about it on Facebook as on Twitter. I dread to think what they're sating on Yahoo, since most of the comments on there in general are usually 95% troll/asshole.

NASCAR has video footage and a member of Paul Menard's team who had that garage last year both confirming it was there last year. Plus the areas are assigned a certain way. So even if you could make a reasonable account that Bubba did it and put it there last year, how in the hell would he know he'd have that stall for this race?

 

 

[Chris2K]

Well it's pretty plain to see why there was confusion, because that is a noose. Whilst this all turned out to be innocent, why on earth was a pull rope tied as a noose in the first place?

[Draevyn]

I assume because of the weight of the doors. I don't honestly think it's anything unusual for them to be tied that way.

[Meacon Keaton]

President Steve Phelps said with NASCAR’s investigation, that not one other garage stall had the rope tied like that.

That Alabama FBI is as crooked as the rest of the racists.

Sorry that’s a crappy link, I’m on mobile. But it says there were 1700 other ropes they saw, only 11 of which were knotted at all and Bubba’s was the only one tied like that. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

But didn't a couple other drivers come forward to say they had that same stall previously and the rope is the same as when they were in those stalls? I thought for sure I read that somewhere.

Even if the drivers really remembered how a particular rope was tied, what are the odds that out of all the stalls, the only black driver who literally just got the Confederate flag banned got assigned that one?

No, you're right. I don't have an answer for it. It makes absolutely no sense. I just assumed most were tied in some sort of knot, but according to the Nascar report, it's not true. So I guess the question comes to why Nascar is accepting that as the final answer if they have evidence to refute that.

[gunnar hendershow]

It could be a wild coincidence. I mean it's plausible that it was hanging like that for months and nobody said anything because none of them were offended by it. But the thing I can't really get is how Bubba Wallace of all drivers got that exact stall at random.

[Draevyn]

I don't want to get everyone excited but.....it's Pocono Double Header Weekend!     

Okay, get excited guys!

[Meacon Keaton]

Trucks at noon. The 325 at 3:30. Then Xfinity at noon on Sunday. The 350 at 3:30. Hot dang. 

Baby Byron gonna sweep that 325 and 350, @Forked Out!

I don't watch trucks or Xfinity though I probably should watch Xfinity so that I know who's coming up. As far as Baby Byron sweeping anything, maybe the garage after Martin wins both races 😛

I've never been a big fan of the Truck series, but have watched Xfinity since the mid-late 80's, when it was called Busch Grand National. I don't watch every race, but its a good place to see drivers that may be the future of the sport. Went to an Xfinity race at Bristol a few years back.

[Meacon Keaton]

Better Harvick than Hamlin.

Also Logano cutting a tire with 7 laps to go made my night.  

[GhostMachine]

Yeah....I used to be a Logano fan, but i recovered from that a couple years ago.
