Who the Hell is Steve Phelps & where did he come from???
I have been around many kinds of racing & manufacturers of racing parts for 60 + years. I have done bookkeeping for some. I have worked IN THE MACHINE SHOP customizing cylinder heads. (night job after selling auto parts all day long) I have sold auto parts & paint & body bondo supplies. I have known a large number of people who only wanted a talented person to drive-—and they didn’t care about the color.
IF I HAD A DOLLAR for every garage door I have been in & out of in those 60 years that had some sort of pull for lowering the door, I could totally wipe out my credit card debt & have a large chunk of $$$$$ let over. I am talking about garage doors at racing facilities, and doors at companies who make parts for racing. Tire shops & piston makers. MANY different places.
While some were twisted ropes & some were nylon straps, they all had the same basic shape of the door pull Bubba is whining about.
Not only did 15 FBI agents work on the investigation, Bubba still cannot seem to GRACIOUSLY say thank you for all your efforts & that is was all a misunderstanding. He seems to wish to keep the narrative alive. “Keep looking at me”
seems to be more important.
Bubba keeps saying “We all have to do more”.
WHICH ALL? The whites or the blacks?
Which group has more violent criminal history?
Which group seems to have no standards of behavior beyond BARBARIAN?
Which group is sponsoring YOUR NASCAR ride, Bubba?
Bubba’s petulant behavior is NOT deserved by Richard Petty.
NASCAR owners & drivers do not deserve to get caught up in such a fake news story.
Racing overall has a strong history of giving a TALENTED person a chance. Driving a VERY EXPENsIVE 200 MPH car around tight turns in a pack with other 200 MPH driver’s isn’t a place for AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HIRING. Expecting the very best from the crew at the track & the others at the shop isn’t a place for mediocraty. IF Bubba really does prove he has talent—he will be OK. Otherwise, this incident will tarnish NASCAR.
Time for Bubba to apologize for stretching this out any further.
Do you think that rope could be that pristine if it had been hanging since October and only had been used in one race back then?
They had a redo on that racetrack. Not sure how many races that rope has seen
