Hours after it was announced that what was thought to be a noose was a garage door pull and no hate crime was directed at Bubba Wallace at Talladega Superspeedway, Richard Petty Motorsports reacted the investigation.
On Sunday, June 21, members of Richard Petty Motorsports discovered a rope tied in fashion of a noose in the garage stall assigned to the team at the Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, the statement said. In accordance with established protocols, our team member notified the crew chief who notified NASCAR of the presence of the item in the garage stall. NASCAR leadership determined the course of action going forward with an immediate investigation into the item and its possible origins. In the early stages of the investigation, NASCARs Steve Phelps notified Darrell Bubba Wallace Jr., of the information gathered and the presence of the item in the garage stall of his team.
Richard Petty Motorsports fully cooperated with NASCAR and authorities as they conducted an investigation into the situation. As a result of further investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), it was found that the item was not directed towards Wallace or members of the team. No member of Richard Petty Motorsports nor Wallace had any involvement with the presence of the rope.
We are thankful for the swift and thorough investigation by NASCAR and all of the authorities involved. We are also appreciative of the support from NASCAR, the motorsports industry, and our fans."

Yes, they are all over.
Been there for years on most all of the garages. Looks like a loop you’d see on a boat dock.
Just wondering.
Of course I know the answer is no, just proving Nascar’s duplicity.
NASCAR does that to people. Most sanctioning or credentialing bodies eventually corrupt whatever they touch.
“Petty, once a hero, is a total fraud”
AGREE
Hey Dick, you sure are petty, but the fans are turned off by this Gizzy Smellit stunt. You and AssScar can go pound kitty litter,used kitty litter.
Just like Brees and Favre. Now whatever they accomplished no longer matters in the eyes of people.
NASCAR is a spectator sport. Like football,basketball,etc. If nobody wants to pay to watch them drive their cars in a circle over and over,then they are pretty useless. It won’t effect me one little bit.

Hey King, you might want to have your driver read your own statement. Clearly he hasn’t.
I have never in my life seen more supposedly rational Caucasian people rush to self-immolate over such ridiculous nonsense.
Its a collective nervous breakdown.
Truth doesn’t matter anymore.
It wasn’t even a noose. A noose is a slip not. It was a strap made of rope.
And it is being used to lynch all white people, and the facts don’t matter.
No doubt he’s busy readying his written apology for KNOT knowing a garage door pull from a noose. Butt all the nascar bros didn’t hesitate to believe him since questioning the claim would be———— racis’.
They have accomplished this because everyone is afraid to respond and lead and stop this nonsense.
Ugh. One of my NASCAR Heroes. If King Richard is still in charge of Petty Motorsports (which I doubt), SHAME ON HIM.
NASCAR has been dead to me for a long time.
Now, it’s buried.
[[[Looks like a loop youd see on a boat dock.]]]
Yes, a bowline knot. I have one on each garage door. My garage is racist.
I still have a huge problem with this. Someone DELIBERATELY told others there was a lynching noose symbol there. Everyone who is on a team or in the track employ should KNOW these are ALWAYS there and their purpose. No way someone was too ignorant to understand what it was.
I call BS. This was deliberate misinformation and as such, IS a HOAX.
Thus, whoever exposed the alleged racist symbolism SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
"We were conned. This will be our last statement about the subject."
"P.S. -- If anyone knows a child with a lemonade stand who is willing to pay $5 to sponsor our car, please call Richard Petty Motorsports ASAP."
Probably a white door, too, bigot!
