According to what I just heard on a b c national "news"-Yeah I Know-Bubba Wallace-Richard Petty's driver-is the Only one who wanted the Confederate Flag banned from nascar and as we are all aware-That Flag is now persona non grata at nascar. One person gits miffed and they Ban a Southern cultural icon? Something rottink in Denmark if 1 person raises a stink and something is unalatterally banned. But that could be like Just Me! RIDE SAFE.

The noose was totally out of line. Then I wondered if planting that noose in Wallace’s garage wouldn’t be an excellent way to reinforce the flag ban and gain support for the down trodden minority drivers? I hate being such a skeptic.

The sad part? My thoughts were drifin in the same direction. I Hope we are Not correct with our assumptions. Should we feel better cuz The F B I is investigating the incident? With the F B Is current record one must wonder. Just a sad kettle fish here bouts lately. RIDE SAFE. |

I hate to say it, but I too feel as though it was some sort of "inside job". There are cameras everywhere in tracks sanctioned by NASCAR. There would be footage. If there is, even if they are still reviewing it, they should have stated that they have footage. NASCAR is dying a painful death, and they have been for years. Recent statements and actions from NASCAR haven't gone over too well in many circles. If a noose was in fact found, I don't believe it to be Wallace or anyone on the Petty crew (or any other crew, for that matter). I would suspect someone in NASCAR's PR department, hoping to get them on the national news, as well as to sway sentiment in favor of their Confederate flag ban. Yup; I don't trust in everything I'm told. We get lied to all of the time.

Too many left turns ? Thats why the only NASCAR race I watch is Watkins Glen. |

The finder didn't have a cell phone in their pocket so as to photograph and video the heinous crime.  I wonder if Bubba and Jessie are related? |

I found it odd that Bubba even said that he knew, that to some, the Confederate Flag was a symbol of their heritage.
But then he went on to say something like
“We need to come together and meet in the middle and say, ‘You know what, if this bothers you, I don’t mind taking it down.’”
I don't see where that is a meet in the middle.
It appears to me that some people have no problem trying to wipe out the symbols and history of another group of people.
All lives matter, let's no go overboard with this.

I was joking with my wife yesterday (I know; I must be racist because I'm not seething with anger 24/7 right now  ). I told her that Nascar missed an opportunity for a storybook ending with Bubba winning the race. They could have told Petty racing to do whatever they wanted to the car. No other team would have the balls to protest, lest they come off as racist for even insinuating that Wallace may have cheated. Media makes the rules these days, you know. |

I listened and just subscribed. Guys are hilarious. Also read Carolina Riders paste in which they deftly diagnosed the situation which I had found out yesterday was just a loop in the ropes in those garage doors in some or most of the doors to pull down. It is a shame ( actually worse ) when folks want to see a narrative so bad they will jump at anything or create their own and this has been going on far to long, think Jussie. America is not a racist country, that ship has sailed in my lifetime. Hey Nascar. Go woke Go broke. |

The noose story. The FBI sent 15 agents to investigate. 15 ! From what I've read the 'noose' was a door pull down rope with a hand loop and all other garage doors at Taladaga [sp] had such a rope.
Bubba disputes that. It took 15 agents to figure that out.

What kind of crew member wouldn't recognize a pull rope for a garage door? Either he has a lousy crew or they were trying create a racial issue.

Yea, I saw that too!! 15!! I guess there had to be a couple of every race/culture to be sure the investigation was diverse enough! (of course, at our taxpayers expense) IMO the FBI has lost a lot of credibility over the last few years. |
