NASCAR releases photo of noose in Bubba Wallace's garage [View all]

Source: NY Daily News

NASCAR said Thursday that its examination of the Talladega racetrack showed only one noose, which was found in the garage of black driver Bubba Wallace’s garage.

The noose was first reported Sunday after Wallace spoke out against the prominence of the Confederate flag at his races and NASCAR launched an investigation. By Tuesday, the FBI claimed that the noose had been in the garage since October.

NASCAR said Thursday that its own investigation had looked at 1684 garage stalls across 29 racetracks and found 11 ropes with a pulldown rope tied in a knot. Only one, the one found in Wallace’s stall, was fashioned into a noose.

“”Anyone who would suggest this was a hoax, I find personally offensive,” president Steve Phelps said. “I don’t know how people think that way.

“The noose was real, as was our concern for Bubba.” . . .

Looks like a freakin' noose to me. I wonder if Tucker Carlson and others of his ilk will apologize? Nah. . .
