    So the noose in question could be used to pull down the garage door? That makes it a loop at the end of a rope. If it didn't tighten when pulled and could just be used to pull down the garage door, then Wallace's team seems to have overreacted.

    But I don't think this is at all like Juicy. If anything, it was just Wallace and his team being overly sensitive. I think I heard that Wallace didn't even see the noose.

    If that was the noose he said he found dude's a millennial desperate for attention. I can't honestly think he would be that dumb when it's clear it's attached to the garage door to pull it down.

    It was a fake hate crime like Juicy. I have no problem though assuming the most generous scenario that it was an honest mistake at the worst time possible

    Does this mean they can have their flag back? They need it to feel better about their shitty situations.

    Bubba was informed that there was a noose found, nothing he could do other than assume it was a racist attack. NASCAR maybe should have investigated this before making it public.

    he could of waited until an investigation took place. most people did this as the story made no sense.

    sample statement 'the issue is concerning, but colleagues in nascar have always been respectful so I will wait until I know more before passing judgement.'

    How did the story not make sense to Bubba? NASCAR told him a noose was found in his garage. He wasn't in the garage, he took NASCAR's words for it. Moreover, NASCAR itself called the incident racist when they first announced it. NASCAR jumped the gun.

    I thought Bubba was told about the noose. He wasn't the one to report it. Personally I think it was a setup to undermine Bubba's stance on BLM. The best way to curb enthusiasm is to fake stuff like this. There was no reason for Bubba to get even more press when he already had all the press.

    Someone set him up and it was an inside job.

    If someone I trust tells me there is a noose lying around a place I had been forever I would automatically assume they knew the difference between the garage rope and the racist strange fruit kind.

    I think Bubba is being set up and he got setup by someone he trusted.

    Whoever reported the garage noose.

    With something so incendiary, If I was Bubba, I would have asked for proof first.

    Meanwhile, what he DID do was pile on and fuel to the fire.
