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, NASCAR’s 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."

The only person that can fit their neck inside a Garage Door Pull Rope is Adam Schiff.— CHIZ 🇺🇸 (@CHIZMAGA) June 24, 2020
*lol*
Apparently Richard Petty is related to Tom Petty...
Just kidding.
NASCAR dealt it, Bubba smelt it! It ties right to justifying after the fact, the ban on Confederate Flags. They had to prove that the fans of old were racist.
>>>“In accordance with established protocols, our team member notified the crew chief<<<
Established protocols?
Employee Handbook, Page 97, paragraph 4:
If you discover a piece of Rope, Twine, Wire or Bungee Cord with a looped end that you “feel” resembles a Noose, immediately inform the Crew Chief. Do not touch the item should DNA and other Forensic Testing be necessary to catch the Criminal who would dare do such an overt and obviously Racist act.
David and David, “Welcome to the Boomtown.” Who’s listening in 2020?
One of the best songs of the 80s.
Bye Bye nascar. You have jumped the shark AND gone full retard with your pathetic ignorant smear.
Sadly too little too late
Indeed the race game inn’t about racing cars every corporation is in on the gig.
Racism is just a logo now days.
I was always a David Pearson fan. May he RIP.
Bubba is slandering all NASCAR teams and thumbing his finger at its fans. People are sick of being falsely accused of racism. As a lifelong fan of NASCAR, maybe the only way to get politics out of sports is not to attend and not to watch.
Sports, as we knew them are dead. It’s over and it’s not coming back.
Next step is to say to Bubba: You’re Fired!
Awesome story!
