    It'll take the "bigger" voices of each sport to help transcend the way in which we carry ourselves.  I'm glad to see Michael Jordan speak up, Patrick Mahomes and Richard Petty.  The more those type of voices step up, the better.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Did you not see the video that Jimmy Johnson put together w every big name driver today?  NASCAR is doing the right thing.  More and more people will be stepping up.  This is only the begining.

    No I haven't, but just to be clear I'm not criticizing NASCAR.  It's trying to suppress those who can't let go of their White Privilege ways.  Hearing someone like Richard Petty stand up for equality will make the voices of hate sound even more ignorant.

    Ryan Blaney wins one hell of a finish.  Just edging out Stenhouse Jr..

    Almirola finished 3rd going backwards, lol!

    Bubba came over to thank his buddy Blaney and also to say "hello" to some fans that came out to support him.

    My boy Byron had a short lived lead and came in 11th.

    Turns out the noose incident was a big nothing...

    No charges will be filed.

    noose was there in October ‘19 and was not directed at bubba Wallace.

    it was a garage door pull rope made to look like a noose...

    hmm. so its was known to have been there since sometime last year. Why then was it not changed. Who assigns garages to teams and was it known by that office or staff that the noose was there.


    edit. we are told it was a noose. Id like to see pictures.
    its possible/probable this was looped back on itself to get it out of the way.

    NASCAR doesn't need a scandal or to have an agenda.  The sport is headed in the right direction and doesn't need bullshit coming from stuff.

    They investigated and this is the conclusion.

    I ask everyone to read up on what Wallce had to say about the findings.  Dude seems humble IMHO.

    Not just you but many people called it a hoax, wanted proof, were skeptical, which I can understand to a point.  I've said before that there was no need for NASCAR or Wallace to have an agenda.
    They show the pic of the noose and anyone that doubted it I have heard squat from, at least you mention it was a moose and posted the link.

    I guess I am a slight bit sensitive with this one...

    given how quickly bullshit garbage spreads on the internet I try to question most things.

    they looked at 11 garages. 10 had a simple loop as a pull. hell my companies facilities are nothing but overhead doors. ALL ours have a knot tied. Everywhere I have ever worked with overhead doors were knotted.

    saw pics posted from that evil space known as twitter that showed the loop described BEFORE  officials released images trying to discredit or call bullshit.


    picked a bad time to have been assigned that particular stall. I still want to know how stalls are assigned for a given race. in general or track specific.

    I do think nascar shouldn't have tried to walk back or amend theor initial statement to include "alledged" noose.  that isnt anything other than a noose.  The question was , was it intended for Wallace. I appreciate his acceptance of the findings.

    Am I mistaken that he is the first or only since Wendell Scott to run nascar? at least in the modern era certainly.

    Correct about Wendell Scott.  Fair points about the rest.

    When Wallace came on the scene I had mentioned him here but not by his race.  I was hoping that people would root for him.

    People seem to be doing that now.

    Enjoy the sport.  It really is fun.
