If there was justice in the world, NASCAR would be made to pay. But much like the NFL, with even conservatives returning to the fold last season, people will deal with it primarily on how it affects themselves rather than how it affects the country.

What would you do if you were one of the other drivers?

Since Bubba essentially called EVER DRIVER and it’s Crew RACISTS, created a FAKE HOAX Investigation and Tarnished the careers of ALL Drivers in NASCAR.

I know NASCAR will do NOTHING at all about this and if I was a Driver I would be pissed and would not want him anywhere near the track.

I would encourage EVERY Driver in the next race to Start the race normally and at the end of the first lap Every Driver should pull into Pit Row and SHUT THEIR CARS OFF AND GET OUT.

LET BUBBA RACE HIMSELF!!!

Petty and his organization should be banned for life for perpetuating this hoax.

Bubba Smollett @BubbaSmollett · 14h I have decided to withhold my pursuit of charges against Richard Petty for this improper chokehold. Time for our nation to move forward. Time to be the bigger man

Oh please, just like the NFL, no matter how much the fans are directly insulted, racing fans will still watch the races like good little sheeple lemmings, because they are addicted to spectator sports. There might be a lot of whining for a few weeks, but once the media successfully buries this hoax, the NASCAR fans here will be right back at it with weekly nascar topics, just like the NFL and college football!

They need to outlaw those jockey whips/crops, they are mainly used on horses of color, seldom on all White horses.

How about an apology to all white people for the race-baiting slander against them?

...

It happens so often that one could say it’s systemic racism against white people.

Richard Petty isn’t hugging a man. He’s hugging the pile of cash that comes with all those corporate logos.

This is what was hanging in the stall for months. Not a knot, looks like tape was used to make the loop. That is why there are no pictures available.

The investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic video confirmed by NASCAR, that the rope found in garage number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019. Although the rope is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.

So now anytime a rope has a loop in it (used for everyday, non-sinister purposes), some ninny will claim it is a racist symbol put there by a racist conspiracy.

And at least 15 FBI agents need to investigate.

In the meantime every white nascar fan was automatically portrayed as a racist.

Yep a bowline is one of my most oft used knots but it’s hardly useful for executions. I do know how to tie a proper noose however should need arise.

https://www.cbssports.com/nascar/news/bubba-wallace-explains-how-he-heard-of-noose-found-in-his-garage-reacts-to-fbi-investigation/?fbclid=IwAR18i6toQ1uXuQDfUyfmz8Wf5rPZqoSskf6ZfYica5ywKc7dmGNo5T6I7jQ

The investigations by the FBI and NASCAR concluded on Tuesday that the noose in
question was a knot tied to make bringing down the garage’s door easier. They
also found that it was a knot that had been around since the last big race at
Talladega in Oct. 2019. Still, the look of the rope didn’t sit well with Wallace,
regardless of its function — though it’s worth noting he accepts the finding
that this wasn’t a hate crime directed at him.

“It was a noose,” he said. “Whether it was tied in 2019 or whatever, it was a
noose. It wasn’t directed at me, but someone tied a noose. It is a noose.”

Suck it up Bubba life has a lot of ups/downs. You’ll have more.
