NASCAR employees will receive sensitivity training in the coming weeks after the discovery of a garage door pull tied into a noose was found in driver Bubba Wallace’s garage and triggered a national controversy, president Steve Phelps said on Thursday.
“We'll make any changes necessary to our sanctions and our code of conduct and we will mandate that all members of our industry complete sensitivity and unconscious bias training,” Phelps said during a press conference.

Looks like Motorcraft on the shirt which would have been Paul Menard’s crew in 2019 and Matt DiBenedetto in 2020. Motorcraft sponsors the #21 car.
That’s exactly what is going on.
“Maybe i their demented mind it will bring in a whole new group of viewers”
Probably correct and I wish blacks were more attracted to racing, but NASCAR’s strategy is bad and that black driver is a bad poster child for them.
Sounds like Bubba is the one who needs sensitivity training.
NASCAR is like every other corporation now. They’re all dominated by progressives. Probably a lot of pop culture addled millennial females in HR and marketing, too.
They are trying to get woke by expanding their base. Instead, they are pissing off loyal supporters. Harley is trying to do the same thing. Going pro-homo instead of building quality bikes.
It’s insane.
Changing the store where I buy my groceries? sure.
Changing the store I use to purchase clothes. Why not?
But i’m gonna start watching a sport I NEVER watched before because they support my political positions???
Golf and tennis and soccer and basketball could turn as FAR RIGHT as humanly possible and I wouldn’t watch one single game or event more than I do now. Which is zero.
They are really enjoyable sports to watch I’m sure. Just not to me. Nothing they say or do will change that because I don’t enjoy the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT thing about them. The game.
I like boxing and football.
Football is dead to me so that leaves boxing.
And if anybody makes a leftist statement in boxing I get to see them get hit in the ring :)
On the flip side, no one is gonna start watching boxing or football if they don’t like it because they back conservative values.
Or very few at least.
That’s my humble opinion.
Yeah those are smart hiring decisions :)
The companies make the False assumption that there is a mass movement in the country.
There’s isn’t.
If anything, it’s to the right, or at least a nationalist movement. Leftism doesn’t come close to either.
They are listening to the msm too much.
I had a vending machine route. Over 20 locations with candy and soda machines and video games in them.
If the owner of the establishments talked politics I said nothing. Or I nodded :)
Because it had nothing to do with business!!
Idiots.
NASCAR will see to it that he gets one.
It will further their agenda.
Wendell Scott was a badass. Built his own cars, ran his own team on a shoestring, and had to deal with *real* discrimination in the Jim Crow era. The other drivers respected the hell out of him.

One of the Woods Brothers team contacted the FBI and explained to them about the rope from last fall’s Talladega race when they had garage stall #4 (Bubba’s stall this year). WBR issued a statement about it. The 21 car was using that garage. You can also see in some of the photos posted at The Conservative Treehouse that garage stall #5 next door had a basically identical rope and configuration.

Is it racist to suggest that Wallace might drive faster if the pace car were driving behind him with the lights flashing?

But now we know a member of the Woods Brothers team was right there before all of this blew up.
Another loop knot that doesn't tighten when pulled.
They have libeled many millions of Americans.
NASCAR needs to get down on their knees and apologize to their fans for being total jerks.
No, not always...I worked for NASCAR driver Elmo Langley in the ‘70’s...Petty did NOT hurt for money...
Petty’s haven’t struggled with funding except recently (last 10-15 years maybe...)
Ya know it seems unconscious bias and asymptomatic coved 19 are really in the news a lot.
nothing you’ve grown up with is the good old thing it was then.
they’ve all gone pussy corporate.
they don’t deserve your patronage or wasting what’s left of your precious time, anymore.
Didn’t Petty have 3 car team at one time. I thought he, Adam, Kyle, and maybe Buckshot Jones drove under Petty Enterprises.(maybe not all at once)
