Weren’t all the garage door pulls the same way or only that particular one? And who assigns the garage spaces?
I thought I saw a video of that row of bays from 2019 where they all had the same/similar loop but now can’t find it.
Nobody really knows — but the rope pulls are mostly just ropes, apparently, and NASCAR sent people to all the racetracks, found only a few with loops, and none currently with anything that looks like a noose.
I think it looks like bay 5’s rope had some knot in it, that has been untied recently — maybe they had a noose, saw it, and decided to untie it, like a normal person would, rather than make a literal federal case out of it.
Now, NASCAR is doing training to make sure nobody ever walks by a rope pull tied to look like a noose, and ignores it.
