I think the noose was made by a guy messing around.

I also think Wallace being assigned the garage with the noose was not a coincidence.


Sure sounds like a coincidence unless someone is playing 8d chess.

Well those are definitely not hanging all through UPS. I'm a dumbass. I am surprised a pic like this wasn't released sooner.

Can't read that, but if it is just a crazy coincidence that's pretty amazing.

From Article.
Before each race, NASCAR assigns garage stalls based on the current season point standings, with the leader getting the most desirable — typically the one closest to the track entrance, for easy access on and off during frenzied practice sessions, the number of which varies from track to track. The second-place team gets the next stall, the third-place team gets the next stall and so on.

Wallace was 20th in the standings entering the race at Talladega, so normally he would have been assigned the stall 19 spots down from points leader Kevin Harvick.

But under novel coronavirus protocols, NASCAR groups multicar teams together to limit social interaction in the garage.

So Sunday at Talladega, the preferred stall went to Harvick as the points leader, and his three Stewart-Haas teammates (Clint Bowyer, Aric Amirola and Cole Custer) were assigned the next stalls in order beside him before Joey Logano, who is second in the standings, and his Team Penske teammates were slotted in.

The domino effect pushed Wallace’s Richard Petty team further back in the pecking order, all the way to Stall No. 4. (At Talladega, the No. 1 stall is near the back of the garage, and thus not desirable.)

When a member of Wallace’s Richard Petty-owned No. 43 team noticed the noose Sunday afternoon amid the charged atmosphere at a venue known for its flag-waving fans, he reported it to the team’s crew chief, who then reported it to NASCAR.

There was a pit crash at the race at Indy today, and one of the pit crew members for somebody's car got smushed between two vehicles.
Piss off.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!

Right after Trump apologizes for all that he did around the Central Park Five.

it looks like we'll get our first dirt NASCAR cup race in 50 years. During the series' spring race at Bristol Motor Speedway, the track will be covered in dirt. We'll get to see the top series running on loose ground. It's an entirely different world of racing, one most drivers aren't familiar with and one sure to cause a spectacular mess of a race.


Mess = accidents, right.

lol wtf.

reminds me of a comedian talking about why he doesn't go camping...because he has a house. 'do you think when they started building places to live, they ever saw caves, and said 'hey, let's go back to that!'
Not everything I think is something I should say.
