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.

    • Well that's going a little too far and into communist or NAZI territory.  What needs to be done is severe penalties for any lies, inaccuracies, socialist propaganda or political bias in reporting.  That still allows freedom of the press.  Just not what we have today.

       

    • William, that's what I'm saying. Of course, you can't shut the media down directly. You do it by imposing severe penalties, but that's why I'm also saying Trump needs to control the judiciary. Otherwise activist judges won't impose these severe penalties. I think we are on the exact same page. 

    • Not only NO!!!  But HELL NO!!!

      Government sanctioned news would be worse than we have now.

    • I guess MSM and fake news are ok by you. Next thing you'll tell us is that you'll vote for Biden. FYI lying isn't protected by the first amendment. 

    • What we need are moral, Christian legislators who aren't spineless rotten, stinking skunks, but instead STAND UP against all our enemies, and who have enough guts and brains to impeach the judiciary,  and who will verbally, actively tell the courts to mind their own business, and write their opinions about the case in front of them. If the other two branches told the courts to shut up, it's not your jurisdiction, and just as importantly, YOU DO NOT WRITE LAW, then we would have the government we are supposed to have. 

      We need rebels in more than the WH. They all need to learn how to use the word "NO." 

    • Absolutely... Congress can rewrite the Federal Judiciary Act tomorrow... to reign in the JURISDICTION of the federal courts.... by restricting the powers of injunction and case decisions to the case in law before them... eliminate the doctrine of judicial review improperly decided in Maybury vs. Madison, restrain all judgments and orders of the court to the case before them including stays and injunctive orders.  

      The Federal Judiciary was supposed to be the least powerful of all the Branches, not the kingmaker and final arbiter of the law. Under Article 3 Congress has the power to establish the jurisdiction of the federal courts and its orders and injunctive powers.

  • It seems to mimic that black actor, Smolett, who claimed he was abused by two men because he was homosexual. This but another step by the Marxist group, BLM, to get their message of victimhood on the front page of the liberal press.

  • My bet, he put it there himself. Just another Jusse Smolett hoax !

  • Trump is the most non-racist president the US ever had. He combines strong, tough leadership with a deep love for real American patriots. He is the big unifier. Just look at how great he has made America in the 3 1/2 years he has been in the White House. The country has never been more unified than it is today.

    • Strongly agree, but more work to be done
