I am not the problem. I understand NASCAR rather well. I been to 7 race weekends at a track, watched casually for about five/six years and watched rather religiously for another seven years. Not just cup but the now Xfinity series and whatever the truck series is called now. I find it hard to believe that NASCAR jumped the gun without contacting track owner ISC about it because if it was a pull rope noose looking slipknot, ISC would know and they can dismiss it before NASCAR's President talks to Bubba.

I have no reason given the events to blame Bubba at this point. None. If he did do it, I would be calling for his ban from the sport that I only casually care for now. NASCAR as a sanctioning body drove me out six seasons ago but I still respect drivers and if conditions are good, I might have seen Jimmie Johnson's retirement race in November. Not my favorite but respect the Hell out of seven times.
Bubba may not have started it but he sure as heck is now jumping in with both feet and is making a fool of himself by insisting it was a noose after it was proven otherwise. Let it go dude, you screwed yourself.!

It has been stated that the "Door pull down rope" had been there going back to 2019 and possible longer. Did someone in 2019 figure out that some time in 2020 Bubba will use this garage and I want to be ready... the whole thin is ridiculous. Bubba will pay the price for this because now he looks exactly like Jesse Smollet, he took it upon himself to destroy his reputation for crying wolf.

Guy is a liability who should be canned.

Are you a noose?

No, I'm a frayed knot.

Someone tied up a slipknot like a noose for a garage door open but it happened months ago. A team member of 43 team reported it to NASCAR. NASCAR turned it into a bigger thing than was needed. Bubba Wallace only was told when the NASCAR President said there was noose found.

I wonder if Mueller is available. This calls for a 2 year investigation.

And he keeps it going, saying it's a noose on the loose.... who just won't let it go... He's made a mockery of himself.

I didn't want to mention it, but I found white sheets on my bed this morning. And some had pointy corners like certain hats do.

Given the charged political atmosphere that resulted from NASCAR’s very correct decision to ban Confederate flags, I have to say I’m not surprised the organization took this seriously. It’s a shame that NASCAR attracts (or I guess attracted) the type of people who take pride in Confederate symbols.
