Today, NASCAR released a picture of the garage pull-down rope and knot that both they and Bubba Wallace described as a “noose hanging over the car“. Except it clearly was not hanging over the car, and it clearly wasn’t a “noose” or it wouldn’t function to help pull the door down. Driver Bubba Wallace now calls it “a non-functioning noose.” Or, in simple terms, a garage pull-down rope with a loop-knot tied in the end. However, what NASCAR does not yet realize is the picture they have provided actually makes the situation worse; because the picture shows something else, something...

Hoaxer Bubba Wallace pulled a Smollett on Tuesday night after the FBI completely busted his a$$ earlier in the day.Earlier Tuesday the FBI released a statement on its investigation at the Talladega Superspeedway “noose” and determined that Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime. It was a knot in a door rope that had been hanging there for several months! Before Bubba ever moved into the garage.NASCAR on Sunday released a statement revealing that a noose was reportedly found in top driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega garage stall.TRENDING: Black Lives Matter Activist Loses One of His Testicles...

Some thoughts on the infestation of sports journalism, and how woke culture's island-hopping strategy finally reached NASCAR.

After the FBI announced that the “noose” in Wallace’s garage had been there since late 2019, I couldn’t understand how Wallace and others might have mistaken a pull rope for a hate symbol. These guys spend half their lives in garages. Surely they’d seen slip knots fashioned to create hand loops for the ropes attached to garage doors.Why on earth would they jump to the conclusion that what they were looking at was a noose, unless they were eager to find some petty reason to treat Wallace as a victim of racism? This photo from NASCAR would seem to...

On Tuesday’s edition of “First Take” on ESPN, Wallace identified mechanic David Cropps as the team member who found the rope. “When my crew guy – who happens to be African-American - saw that he did his research first,” Wallace, a native of Mobile, explained on “First Take.” “I was very proud of that. David Cropps, a guy I’ll stand by in any trenches on any day, walked up and down the garages to make sure he wasn’t overreacting. He saw that other garage pulls were basically just a solid piece of rope, no knots in them, and we have...

top us if you’ve heard this one before: The media — excited about a story that confirms all of its favorite narratives — gives the “news” prominent airtime before journalists actually do the hard work of thoroughly fact-checking. And, before long, the actual news turns out to pretty much the opposite of what these credulous reporters claimed. It happened with Jussie Smollett. It happened with Covington. It happened with the Virginia girl whose dreads were supposedly cut off. And now it’s happened again — in the most predictable, absolutely unsurprising development of 2020.

Tribute to Richard Petty and Bubba Wallace.

On Tuesday night, the FBI concluded there was no hate crime after its investigation into the alleged noose found in the garage stall of NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace. Officials said it was not actually a noose at all but instead a rope used as a garage door pull that had been there since last year. Bubba Wallace responded by giving an interview to CNN’s Don Lemon in which he refused to accept the FBI’s conclusion that this was not a hate crime. Wallace is sticking to his story that it was “a straight-up noose.” Now, Hollywood star James Woods is...

VIDEO Poor MSNBC. Shortly after the sanctimonious sermonizing by John Heilemann and Eddie Glaude they got an embarrassing but hilarious reality check about what happened with Bubba Wallace.

“The FBI identified it as a noose. NASCAR [initially] said it was a noose or went along with the FBI’s characterization. It was a noose. So, the question is, even if they did not know that Bubba Wallace was going to use that stall, why was a noose in the stall?" Sharpton said Wednesday on MSNBC. "So I don’t think this answers a lot of questions. And clearly, from what we just saw of Bubba Wallace, it does not seem he, who is the victim and possible target in this matter, seems to be satisfied with this. So I do...

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has insisted that the rope knot found in his garage was a 'straight-up noose' and said he was 'p****d' with his critics - but accepts he 'wasn't targeted' after the FBI said there was no evidence of a hate crime. Wallace, the only black full-time driver on NASCAR's top circuit, told CNN he was 'mad because people are trying to test my character and integrity' after investigators said the 'noose' was a garage door handle which had been there since last October. Wallace told CNN's Don Lemon that 'from the evidence that we have, that I...

Maybe … but was it a “hate crime”? The FBI says no, even though the garage-door pull in the stall assigned to Bubba Wallace at Talladega does look like a noose in the pictures shown on CNN. However, the news that it has been there at least since last year — long before anyone knew Wallace would draw that stall — led the FBI to conclude that there was no ill intent.Wallace won’t let it go, however. CNN’s Don Lemon told the NASCAR racer that he’s “handled this like a champ,” but a champ might know when to walk...

Last night Don Lemon tried to portray this "noose" as being the ONLY one in the garage despite we had already learned they are all over the place. the CNN video of "The Noose". Notice anything about it on that video? CNN HAS DONE IT AGAIN...they have ENLARGED "the noose" to make it appear more menacing than it really was as reflected in the original images and video posted here yesterday!

Bubba Wallace talked to CNN's Don Lemon on Tuesday about the FBI finding that no wrongdoing was nefarious was done to NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace and the stock-car racing company after they reported a noose was in his garage at Talladega. Wallace told Lemon that he never saw the noose or reported the incident, it was NASCAR that got the FBI involved. "I'm pissed," Wallace said. "I'm mad because people are trying to test my character and the person that am and my integrity. They’re not stealing that from me, but trying to test that. And as a person that...

As the NASCAR season remains suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, the company and its drivers are trying to keep fans engaged and entertained through virtual means. We're now three weeks into the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, which essentially features a bunch of NASCAR drivers racing one another in a video game simulation, and we found out Sunday that these races can still drum up drama and controversy. Bubba Wallace was one of the 32 drivers competing in the Food City Showdown at a virtual Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday and he undoubtedly had the worst day of anyone...

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...

In all his years in auto racing, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace said Tuesday night, he has never seen anything like what he described as a “straight-up noose” that was being used as a door pull in the garage he was assigned last week at Talladega Speedway in Alabama. “I’ve been racing all of my life,” Wallace told CNN's Don Lemon. “We've raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pulls like that. So people that want to call it a garage pull and put out all the videos and photos of knots being as their evidence, go ahead,...

On Monday, Desiree said on SiriusXM's "The Joe Madison Show" that Bubba has been called the "n-word" and told he doesn't "belong" before. It's unclear if she meant in NASCAR or throughout his racing career. "This is not his first incident," Desiree said. "He's been involved with incidents on the track. If he gets into it with another driver they're quick to throw out the n-word. He's been told he doesn't belong here. We've been through all that."

“A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding." - Marshall McLuhan Case in point: FBI agents tried to find out who left a noose in Bubba Wallace’s garage stall over the weekend. The stock car series was left reeling and angered by the racist act that came less than two weeks after it banned the Confederate flag on its properties at Wallace’s urging. It has vowed to permanently bar the person responsible, but the investigation was in its early stages. However: The FBI says the noose found in Bubba Wallace's garage stall...

Here we go again… As reliably as children being fooled by Santa Claus, the news media has once again been duped by an obviously false story that fit their favorite narrative about race. Last year, it was the Jussie Smollett fiasco, on which I was one of the first media commentators to call out as lacking credibility, today, in a very different but similar story, we have learned that, contrary to an enormous amount of media outrage and moralizing, black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace was not the victim of a noose-related hate crime. For those who have somehow missed it,...
