Much more likely some idiot redneck NASCAR fan put it there.

NASCAR, being a "southern" thing, I'm sure there was some "silent" racism but it was silent until Bubba had to poke the bear and play the race card. He had to know where he was at and enjoy the ride, but Nooooo, couldn't let it alone. As a post above said, maybe he did the Jesse Smelly thing and put it there himself, I believe this is just the beginning.0 -
It was a plant by NASCAR. They have their own security and the access to the garages is strictly controlled. I smell a rat. 9 -
The NASCAR garage is full of cameras and crew members most all day and fans are not allowed to just walk though but yet no one saw anything nor was it captured on camera. Isn't that amazing? I bet it was one of those old Confederate ghost that did it. Yeah right. 6 -
That tickles me pink, so I ask that the least of ya here...pray for me please.

Done by a mus-slime from Italy I bet. 0 -
Banning the flag at NASCAR is how many years old now? Just another promoting gimmick by the lowlife's in the media, NASCAR, and elsewhere, before the elections. 0 -

I agree Jim. And I'm seeing far too much here for my liking.0 -
A tiny decal of a battle flag on his car would have been funny. A noose never is. 0 -

UPDATE...... Talladega, Ala.— NASCAR said a serpentine belt was confused for a noose in Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on Sunday. Wallace, who is from Mobile, is the only Black driver in the Cup Series.
In a statement released Sunday night, NASCAR said, "Late this afternoon, NASCAR was made aware that something that resembled a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team. We were angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we took this allegation. We launched an immediate investigation, and determined Bubba Wallace had mistaken a 26” serpentine automotive belt for a noose.”

I'm starting to get fed damn up. I am equal and want to be treated as a equal. I'm white and from Alabama.
Check the facts. All the black problems have been up north for the past 50 years.
Too many guns in the south for BLM and antifa to exist here,.0 -

And what does this say to you, Jim?GreatGuns said:
Well that's odd? This was taken from the NASCAR website two minutes ago and the wording is completely different. Sounds like yours came from NASCAR Rumors (yes, it's a real site). The FBI is also working on the case this morning. In addition, Bubba never saw it. It was reported by a crew member, who gave it to NASCAR authorities. Pretty hard to mistake a belt for a noose.

NASCAR issues statement on ‘heinous act’ By Staff Report NASCAR.com June 21, 2020 at 11:07 PM
NASCAR issued the following statement Sunday night:
“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. 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.” Bubba Wallace drives the No. 43 Chevrolet for Richard Petty Motorsports. The lone Black driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, Wallace has used his voice and platform over recent weeks to speak out against racial injustice in the world. He released his own statement later Sunday, vowing to not give in or back down in his quest. pic.twitter.com/koL655AJB9 — Bubba Wallace (@BubbaWallace) June 22, 2020

What we know about the FBI and NASCAR investigation of noose in Bubba Wallace’s garage
,Alex AndrejevMiami Herald•June 22, 2020The FBI is now reviewing a case in which a noose was found in the car garage of NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace — the only Black driver in the sport’s top series — on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.
Law enforcement officials said they are reviewing the situation to determine whether the act violates federal law while NASCAR conducts its own investigation.
“The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Alabama, FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division are reviewing the situation surrounding the noose that was found in Bubba Wallace’s garage to determine whether there are violations of federal law,” U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town said in a statement. “Regardless of whether federal charges can be brought, this type of action has no place in our society.”
NASCAR president Steve Phelps addressed the media Monday afternoon to provide details about NASCAR’s investigation, although he noted the investigation is still in the “early stages.”
Phelps said that a crew member from Wallace’s No. 43 team discovered a noose in the team’s garage stall late Sunday afternoon and informed the sanctioning body. The Sunday race at Talladega was scheduled for 3 p.m. but was postponed to Monday afternoon due to lightning and rain in the area. Drivers were never called to their cars.
NASCAR security then got involved and the sport’s senior leaders met to determine next steps, Phelps said.
“The first thing was to launch an immediate investigation into this heinous act,” Phelps said. “As part of that, (Monday) morning at 7:30, we notified the Birmingham office of the FBI, and they are currently on site and they started their investigation.”
The FBI office in Birmingham referred The Observer to Town’s statement and declined to elaborate further on the case when contacted for comment Monday morning.
Phelps said that part of the FBI’s investigation includes looking at footage from the cameras located in the team garage, but he declined to reveal specifics about the number of cameras and what the footage showed. He also said that NASCAR is reviewing the list of limited individuals who had access to that area with the FBI.
“We have a very small number of people that are in the footprint,” Phelps said, referring to the garage stall area. “Only essential personnel who was there.”
Since the sport returned amid the coronavirus pandemic in May, NASCAR has restricted access to the infield and limited the number of individuals permitted at the track. Although Sunday’s race at Talladega allowed 5,000 fans into the grandstands, fans were not granted access to the infield or garages.
Only crew members for the 40 Cup Series teams, essential NASCAR and track employees and security were allowed in the area under the coronavirus protocols. One NASCAR team member who was at the track but asked not to be identified told The Observer that the walkway through the Cup area was open for ARCA Series teams to get to pit road before Saturday’s Xfinity Series race, allowing track and NASCAR officials, security, as well as ARCA teams access to the area, although it is unclear if the garage building was locked at the time.
Phelps also added that while he couldn’t deny that a security breech was possible. He said “the security around getting into the footprint is significant” and that NASCAR was “going to use every effort we can determine who has done this, whether a single person or multiple people“ and that individual will be unequivocally banned from NASCAR for life.
“There’s no room for this at all,” Phelps said. “And we won’t tolerate it. And they won’t be here.”
The FBI office in Birmingham was instructed to “use all their resources” by the FBI director to find the individual(s) responsible, according to Phelps.
Lincoln, Ala., mayor Lew Watson told The Observer that the city does not have law enforcement jurisdiction in the area, although the Talladega track is located there. He said his office was not contacted by any NASCAR, track or law enforcement officials regarding the case but “if they call on us for assistance, we’d be glad to help,” Watson said. He noted that there is coordination between the superspeedway and the city.
“We’re hoping that as many cameras that are out there, hopefully somebody can see something going on,” Watson said. “And that’s kind of a restricted area, so it’s not like just anybody could do this.”
Alabama governor Kay Ivey released a statement Monday apologizing to the driver, a native of Mobile, Ala. and his family and friends “for the hurt this has caused.”
“Racism and threats of this nature will not be condoned nor tolerated, and I commit to assisting in any way possible to ensure that the person responsible for this is caught and punished,” Ivey’s statement said. “While the important conversation of racial reconciliation is ongoing all over our country, it is clear there is much work to do.”
NASCAR allowed Wallace’s No. 43 team to check its Chevrolet Camaro on Monday morning to ensure it was not tampered with. Wallace never saw the noose, and Phelps said he was the one who informed the No. 43 driver about the act of hate.

Not likely....access is tightly controlled. The vast majority of these incidents are hoaxes, Jussie Smollet type incidents. More likely the victim, or someone close to them created this incident.
LOL so now it was a serpentine belt mistaken for noose? I don't believe .... I smell a cover up....

Right because who would have thought a popular, successful actor would hire some guys to perpetrate a fake racial hoax and ultimately destroy his own career. Let alone continue to lie about it to this day after it's been proven, by the confessions of his accomplices that the entire event was a fraud.GreatGuns said:Hardly a hoax with the FBI involved. Also highly unlikely that the only black in NASCAR would jeopardize his rockstar like career for a racial "stunt." Makes about as much sense as suggesting certain politicians are out to destroy America. Jim9
