NASCAR bans the confederate flag

[C-south]

On ABC Nightly News they said they were going to check into why pulls are tied this way...hard hitting journalism!

Tying a fish hook will be racist next.

Of all the networks that should’ve pursued this with a bit of caution, ABC might have wanted to see how this was gonna shake out. Hopefully they weren’t sending Robin Roberts to interview the guy.
OTOH, I hope Joy and the View are gonna have a nice little show tomorrow.

Is Bubba gonna apologize?

No, If he was going to apologize we would have already heard it. NASCAR and their whiz kid team are all huddled up with their soy lattes trying to put together a non-apology apology. They probably also believe this is good for the long term health of NASCAR.

I cant imagine the number of times that actual garage number 4 has been used since October 2019. I would guess a ton.

Not always, ill give them that. It is possible not sure how likely that this is the first time the track has been used since last October. I know some tracks are used in other series, but due to safety concerns and inexperienced drives im not sure if many use Dega. With that being said, the day before the sprint cup race there were two races Nascar Xfinity and Arca series. But Nascar had races the previous day. Im going to guess the Cup cars were unloaded Saturday night due to COVID Nascar's schedule is a little weird from their normal schedule. Nascar allows teams in the garage at 8am ish on race day. So said crew member had Saturday night, and all day Sunday before noticing said rope. The rope wouldve been used at least 3-4 times in this window to open and close said door. Im not buying it that this rope was mistook for a noose after a rainout, when Nascar fans know Monday races mean lower ratings. I think this was a play for TV ratings after Sundays rainout.
Even the post race where Bubba walks back out on the track to greet fans after the race. Drivers never do that besides the winner. And he knows exactly where they are sitting. Just putting it all together its all too contrived to me. Honestly im at a point where im willing to give Bubba a pass and im wondering if Nascar drummed this whole incident up.

imagine being so hyper sensitive whenever u see a rope with a loop you assume it's a noose

One of my buddies put a stuffed animal gator in a noose outside his cube for UGA/UF week and someone reported it to HR as a racial incident.

The FBI had to tell them lol. I’m sure Bubba was disappointed.

and it took 15 agents to tell the retards it was a hoax. I don't ever want to hear another national debt complaint from another panty pisser.

Shows you don't mess with gator lovin'!

I'm very happy with the result. I think you may be a little sad that you don't get to attack Bubba over it.

There will be some that will throw him in the middle of this regardless and to this point theres no facts to call for that all. At least none to my knowledge.

There will be others that latch on to the next situation where the facts dont add up either.
In that way, it isnt fair to him or those who actually are caught up in the heinous acts of others.

I'm glad this didnt turn out to be what was originally claimed because it was wrong. The sad part is there will be some that are not.

Was this painted on the grass on Sunday? Why was it painted on Monday?

Personally, I wouldn't mind if NASCAR folded from the fallout of this crap. I don't know if Wallace was a part, initially, but he certainly jumped on board....and got the selfie with all the other crew members behind him.

Well... at least it got a Petty Cup car back in the spot light

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Except it wasn't staged

Yea you are right. It was a garage door pull found on most garages across the USA. Anybody with half a brain would know that is what it is. Here you are though playing devils advocate.

Piss off and stick to the numbers when they suit you.

 

[BeecherVol]

It’s funny how a simple “whew. Glad that was nothing” just wont do for people.

Agreed.

Nothing good about it if there was.

LOL... I had the same thought. I thought back to the John Andretti days (RIP). I always rooted for him but he would wreck in every race.

 

[n_huffhines]

So you weren't supporting the side of NASCAR, Wallace, and MSM on this?

I don't even know what this means, but I doubt I am on the side of the MSM.

Wouldnt know. I might have watched 5 mins of that whole race.

I saw a Gator hanging by a noose off the front of Stokely when I was there in ‘04 during Florida week. That was called school spirit 16 years ago. 16 years ago ? How the hell did that happen ?

 

[GAVol]

You are misinformed.

Maybe they’re guilty of groupthink, but that’s about it. Mostly, they’re doing damage control for the brand.

They will only double down on the stupidity.
