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.

    • My friend Obozo and his radical race baiting AG Eric "My people !" Holder started this day one after the Kenyan illegal was sworn into an office HE NEVER was eligible to be elected too.  Barry Soetoro was the must divisive POTUS since Wilson. Obozo set into motion the very events this country is witnessing right now. IMHO, I hate to say this. But I don't think we'll get outta this without full scale civil war. When POTUS Trump is re-elected in November or if he gets Seth Rich'd, like Justice Scalia did.  The left has gone INSANE. They're just crazy enough to kick it off. Just look at Seattle Washington to see what's coming.

       

         In the words of Oliver Cromwell. "Put your faith in God ! But keep your powder dry." I would add to that. Keep your weapon close as well.

  • Bubba is a nobody in NASCAR. This is his excuse for being an incompetent driver, that he's black. He expects other drivers to slow down and let him win or he will play the victim race card. Businesses need to stop playing into this narrative that there is a systemic race problem in this country. One only has to look and listen where all the hate and violence is being orchestrated...The Democrat Party. Get rid of them and America will be united again. Americans need to fight back. Everywhere where there's a graffiti of BLM painted on the walls or streets it should be re-spray painted with a "Blue" line across the B. Send a new signal that recognizing only one race will not be tolerated in America. 

  • NASCAR has always been a white sport.. 

    • Not anymore. Bubba had a person from Latin descent fired for a word he said, then find out that he doesn't like the confederate flag in a sport I never asked him to go to, since black lives matter can go on the cars now, they can enjoy their sport without my support.  I lived, breathed, ate and slept nascar but not anymore.

  • Now we know who the racist f**k was that had the flag removed because he didn't like it. Guess he should've thought about all the fans that were gonna quit watching it especially when they allow these pukes to disrespect our military and veterans to allow race baiting blm on a d****d nascar after having our confederate flag removed, because if it weren't for the rednecks and country boys who ran moonshine, there would be no nascar,... I wonder how many of their family members fought in the civil warfare. I'm beyond tired of these little pukes telkingvthe rest of the world they hate our history and want it changed. Who is the minority think it is by trying to change history because they don't like it......

    • I totally agree. They can't change history no matter what they do. I'm proud of my white history and I'll never bow or kneel to anyone but God.

    • Let NASCAR know that they just got the RED FLAG and no longer hold your respect or patronage and then stop supporting them until they apologize .... reinstate the right to display the Confederate Colors as a symbol of independence, pride and free speech...  Demand NASCAR eliminates the logos and ads for insurrectionists, and racist groups like ANTIFA, BLM, and the NAACP,  Consider ways to peacefully protest the sport and to shut down its season until NASCAR officials apologize to their former fan base... White Ameria.

  • Thirtysome people killed this weekend - since no one talks about what color they were, I assume it was all black on black.  And they wonder why racism is increasing?  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. 

    The Confederate flag is not the problem, in this case, Wallace is the issue.  

    • No, they were mostly black on white killings and they don't fit the "systemic racism" narrative that the BLM, ANTIFA, and the lame stream media are pushing.

    • Amen
