Speaking of which, Jimmy Kimmel just apologized for wearing "black face", and using the word "ni-gger" a lot, in order to get to the top.
How many executives of NASCAR are liberal?

Id bet its just as much people who think they are edgy, and are saying outrageous stuff simply because of that.
they're all dumb enough, or just don't care enough, to still use their real names.

All of them at the top. Not the same as it used to be. Someone brought up Kyle Larson. He got the shaft. If you look at who he was talking to when he said the offensive word it was his buddy who was "spotting" for him in an Iracing race. His friend lost connection and Kyle asked where he went. If he had been Bubba Wallace and said (and I quote) "where did you go _igga?" Nothing would have happened. Nothing.

Ah... but using the same name/handle across the net over the course of a decade is JUST as dumb.

Here how I assume it went down.
Management calls Bubba into the head office. They said, "Look Bubba, you're our one black driver. You know the ropes that we have in all the garages? The ones with the loop at the end so you can open and close them easier? You're going to say it's a noose, we'll rally around you, and we can show how unified NASCAR is.
It'll be great for ratings, the media will eat it up!"

Late Breaking:
THIS WAS A HOAX, not all that dissimilar to what Jussie Smollett pulled.
PROOF: theconservativetreehouse.com... ideo-evidence/#more-195048
Now we can send BLM-loving Bubba to the FBI for a hate-crime-hoax investigation, just like Smollett is currently experiencing.
If this is indeed the actual “Noose” that was found, shame on those involved.
I’d like to see pictures of the actual noose in question before I trust the source.
Well in that case the source is video and photographs from the garage.
You can feel free to disagree with their conclusions. I question their conclusions as well. But there's pretty definitive evidence that the "noose" is present in every garage and the one in Wallace's has indeed either been cut or broke.
None of that means it’s the noose in question. Bottom line. Outright believing it is, is just as lazy as assuming that the story was legit from the start.
It is compelling evidence, also the fact that the "noose" narrative is now being walked back. More evidence that you or anyone else has presented that it was a racist attack directed at Bubba.

The FIRST thing I would do is take a pic and put it on every social media platform there is if it was me and it was real. Why would you 'wait' or want to 'make sure' of what it is.
C'mon this is like a bad Family Guy Episode. A black NASCAR Driver with a BLM car named 'BUBBA' finds a noose????

It’s compelling evidence that rope exists inside the garages already. Literally nothing more until someone comes out and says “Yes, that’s the rope I was talking about.”
But enjoy running with the “evidence” that suits your narrative.

Further, these things are bringing up some very very bad memories for people who did grow up when there was what I call real racism. I moved to the south in the 70's from NY and I saw separate toilets. I was friends with kids who did have some nasty things said to them.
But kids today? Please. Most have NO idea what those who came before them really dealt with. This is nothing more than shock value. Smollett 2.0 and it is sick. When this comes out as nothing he should be banned for like or made to drive a car with a Rebel Flag on it.

Well, her comments in this thread have demonstrated pretty clearly she doesn't have the slightest clue how NASCAR works.
Everyone should know how NASCAR works, it's just a never ending series of left turns. It's the golf of the motorsports world.
