Sure. So you jumped to a conclusion. Can you admit that?

I think the truth is somewhere in between what you and I might intuitively believe. There was malintent in the tying of the rope in that manner. There was no hoax. Was a hate crime committed? I'm not sure.

Man. Bubba was INFORMED about the so-called "noose". He (personally) NEVER saw it.
The "noose" was actually a garage door closer. A rope fashioned into a loop. I have NOT seen any pics of it.
I'm assuming it wasn't really a "noose".
The rope garage closer had been in THAT specific garage for a long time.
Whether anyone knew it was there remains unexplored to my knowledge.
Which NASCAR "official' assigned that specific garage to the Bubba Wallace team has NOT been publicized to my knowledge.

Whether this WAS ANY sort of racist incident would SEEM to hinge on those last two details.
You can't really blame Bubba for assuming it was as he was TOLD it was a "noose".

The picture was released, Bob. It WAS a noose. NASCAR has confirmed that it was the only rope tied in that manner in any garage at any track. The question is, "If it was there since September, why wouldn't someone report it?" There is no hoax, and no conspiracy. The question is whether the act was tied to race. That's what we don't know.

TY Tangy. Looks like a noose to me.
Seems NASCAR needs to do a little historical research.

They MUST be able to trace backwards just who was assigned that garage spot, no?

Last year, it belonged to a different team.
