NASCAR Investigating Noose Found in Bubba Wallace's Garage - The ...

A noose was found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama, on Sunday, less than two weeks after Wallace, who is NASCAR's only black driver, successfully pushed the stock car racing series to ban the Confederate flag at its tracks and facilities.

"Late this afternoon, NASCAR was made aware that a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team. We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we take this heinous act," NASCAR said in a statement. "We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.

"As we have stated unequivocally, there is no place for racism in NASCAR, and this act only strengthens our resolve to make the sport open and welcoming to all."

Wallace never saw the noose, ESPN's Marty Smith reported. It was first seen by a member of Wallace's team, who immediately brought it to the attention of NASCAR, Smith reported. NASCAR told Fox Sports that it will work with law enforcement on the incident.

Wallace, who drives the No. 43 Chevrolet for racing icon Richard Petty, said in a statement that he was "incredibly saddened" by the act.

  • Bubba may find he needs hundreds of bodyguards to safely negotiate his way around any NASCAR  event...  I don't know what he is thinking or if he can think?  What incident is law enforcement working on... the incident of the missing noose, or the hundreds of criminal assault, arson, looting, and rape, cases in the latest BLM rally?  When are the White People of America going to start defending their wives and daughters... and their right to free speech and public assembly without being attacked? 

    If the left wants civil war the Patriot must be prepared to stand their Constitutional ground... too, defend the Republic from insurrection and an internal insurgency. .. as the Federal and State Governments certainly are not interested in restoring Constitutional government or defending the Republic.  Where is the GOP Leadership, In a bunker, under the Capitol building?  Why is Pres  Trump reported to be arguing with Gen. Millie over the President's authority to mobilize the US Military, under martial-law, to put down an insurrection?  Why is Gen. Millie still Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the US Military... instead of being relieved of duty, pending court-martial, for insubordination and reportedly refusing to obey the CIC's lawful order to defend the Republic from internal insurrection?

  • I don't think any such racist sponsored team as his should be allowed in the series.  Doesn't he work for Petty?  How can he allow this sponsor? Get a REAL sponsor, keep race out of it completely!  His terrorist sponsored team and all of this racist rioting is causing a kickback reaction and this is to be expected.  ALL LIVES MATTER!

    • Look NASCAR is all about money... and they have been trying to get the Black population to increase their participation in NASCAR... this is likely a calculated move to attract Blacks... suggested by some idiot in a PR firm, who was an EOC employee, with the last name Guevara.  The MSM jumped on this issue knowing it would cause more division and now NASCAR has a very serious PR problem.   I hope one that leads to the firing of their CEO and Board... all of them must go.

  • Heinous?   A noose is heinous... It is becoming obvious that NACAR Officials have run off the track and are no longer on the same lap as their fans...

    A hangman's noose is an inanimate object...  As a teenager, I recall friends making several nooses as a novelty... not as a racist object.  Ascribing racist motives to the 'noose' speaks volumes about the idiots running NASCAR and their fixation on political correctness. It appears that their over-revved minds are fixed on finding racism in all things White... 

    Maybe someone should inform NASCAR that the sport is RACING... not RACE-BAITING...

  •  I hope the find the bottom dweller that left the noose. The real questions encompass more than just who, though, but also why....personal animosity, politcal statement, racial statement, or just pot-stirring? A hoax is also a possibility. No matter, we're still talking about a bottom dweller. I hope the person is identified and punished according to the law. 

     

    • God forbid that one of the Race Teams should leave a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Watermelon laying around in their shop... This incident is such crap...

    • Ain't it the truth. This race crap leaves me speechless. They, skin of color, have had the same blessed opportunities since the 60's as we white folks.There's no excuse for any of them to yell racist. I'm sick of it.

       

       

       

  • Yeah, this is a set up! The Hitler Democrats are using the Jesse Smollett tactic, AGAIN!! So far since this BS started, there have been 5 false reports of nooses being found in trees and other places and they all turned out to be ropes for construction and other things. The main stream conspiracy news medai needs to be shut down, NOW!!

    • Absolutely, the MSM is inciting riot and insurrection... the 1st Amendment doesn't protect insurrection or calls for riot and violence.  However, we are no longer a nation of laws... what law we have is arbitrarily enforced and twisted as the left finds it needful.

    • Trump needs to shut down the fake news MSM and only government sanctioned facts can be reported. He needs to take total control of the media, and also of the judiciary to make us into a nation of laws again. I'm so glad that Barr is running the justice department to protect Trump from an out of control judiciary. I look forward to the day when Trump follows your advice and takes total control of the country from the federal to local governments to the judiciary and to congress. No more opposition to Trump! America will be great again. Every real patriot is behind such a move. Get rid of these communist nazi democrats, purge them from the sacred American soil!
