NASCAR jumps the shark.

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 a knot that’s in the shape of a noose.”
Wallace told The Dan Patrick Show he told the FBI he questioned Cropps and crew chief Jerry Baxter to make sure “they didn’t jump the gun” on what they saw.
“I asked them, ‘Did we check the other garages?” Wallace said. “Both of them said in their heart of hearts that it was done over night. This isn’t something that can be done in minutes. This took time.

I hope NASCAR is done.
NASCAR is dead. Long live car racing. Fans will stay away until a competitor steps in.
NASCAR jumps the shark.
Et Tu BrutusNASCAR...
"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."his mother
Despite an FBI investigation and video proof that all the Talladega garages doors had looped rope pulls, Bubba keeps doubling down on “noosecar”. Looks like he wants more than just the racecar wheels to turn to the left....
I hope Richard Petty fires this dumbass. The longer this goes on, it makes Richard look bad, and that is just plain NOT DONE, particularly by a driver that cant seem to win any races!!!
People on Twitter are having so much fun with this! Go to Mark Dice’s Twitter feed and check it out. Of course there are lefty morons there, too.
One post showed a tire iron on a garage floor with caption, “Bubba Wallace finds burnt cross in his garage”. Good stuff.
Richard Petty is royalty with Nascar. If he doesn’t fire this POS, he will have thrown away a lifetime of earned respect.
Where’s his afro?
Banana Peels coming next.
I’m sure the FBI is gathering that evidence as well.
Yep. I had a feeling the crew member who reported this hoax was
a member of Wallace’s tribe.
While having a few sour wet ones in the local Noose-Car Bar, Bubba noticed this racist coffee mug sitting on top of the jukebox in the corner...
…and he quickly pulled out his bb gun, and, aiming at the hate-filled coffee mug, he shot his bb gun, but his bb hit the jukebox instead of the coffee mug, and that bb caused this song to start playing on the jukebox...
"Bubba Shot The Jukebox" by Richard Petty...(I mean, some other cowboy)
They could not bring themselves to show it to him, it’s just too horrible.
>>Well that’s a lie. I just saw a video yesterday showing several garage doors with these same knotted loops tied to the bottom.<<
In the interest of being fair, which Bubba and this asshole wouldn’t be to us, this is probably the video you are referring to...
There are a lot of loops tied in the pull down ropes, but, that video is from 2017 and the Talladega garages were torn down and completely rebuilt, the race last October, where were see the loop, was the first one with the new garages.
There are like 40 garage stalls there so I doubt this guy went to all of them. I did find a video of the garage area from the race last October, it’s the same one where that photo of the loop is from, and I didn’t see any other garages with a loop in the rope, however I couldn’t see most of the pull down ropes so can’t say with certainty.
One thing NASCAR does is before every race they film a walk through of the garages, so I watched several of them from other tracks to see how common this is. The thing is though. there are different designs at different tracks. Not many have the single doors like Talladega. Many have big double doors with heavy pull down straps, some just have tarps they close up with.
One track that does have the one car doors with similar design is Charlotte, and you can see in this video several garages have a loop tied in the pull down rope, so it is a common thing to do which makes Bubba a liar since he said he and his crew have never seen these anywhere before.

Well, we know where Bubba learned to lie.
Anthony Brian Logan did a video on this today, and made the best point ever... What about all of those nooses on buses, trams, and trains... You know the ones, that people hold on to to keep their balance.

That's not the video I saw. I'll try to find the one I saw.
It doesn’t matter that it didn’t happen, what matters is that it could have happened.
