No jerk. Nascar has had a long history of drivers taking people out when racing that doesnt involve hurting the driver. Guess you arent a fan.

Fine. I stand corrected. But "put him into the wall" sounded like a threat, no matter what the circumstances are. And despite my "ignorance" of the sport, do NOT call me a jerk.

I sort of predicted this would be the fallback position. "All those racist mechanics in racist Alabama making racist garage pulls."

I was dimly aware of Wallace before this incident. I doubt people who don't follow NASCAR had ever heard of him. People who don't win races don't get interviews on national TV, but now Bubba's phone is ringing off the hook from national media. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Or conversely, you gotta hate on white people, NASCAR, Trump supporters, etc to maintain your creds.

He is enjoying the attention. An old saw in Hollywood is there is no such thing as bad press.

I think Haley acted appropriately based on the facts as they were presented.

fifteen FBI special agents conducted numerous interviews. 15. SPECIAL AGENTS. 15.

What a waste of government resources.

You need to provide a link here.

Every link I can find indicates that there were about 3500 blacks who were lynched and 1300 whites between 1888 and 1968.
