North Carolina speedway loses partnerships after owner's 'Bubba rope' post

A North Carolina racetrack has lost some partnerships after its owner advertised “Bubba Rope” for sale online days after NASCAR said a noose had been found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace, the top series’ only Black driver.

Just watched the Pocono prerace show. Not one mention of the last weeks complete **** show 😂.

Saw like a one second cut of Bubba right after the National Anthem and that was it. No comments.

NASCAR be like “this isn’t the social justice pandering sport you’re looking for”BD319E50-244B-4088-82EA-22AD661B7ABC.jpeg

Well that was a pretty damn stupid thing for the track owner to do frankly.

And if he’d left it at they have a right to peaceful protest it would have been fine. The shade on not being pepper sprayed or shot with rubber bullets won’t happen if you protest peacefully and don’t threaten anybody, including the ones with the pepper spray and rubber bullets? Just sayin’

You’re not real familiar with the actual base of NASCAR fans are you?

That tweet statement just created a resounding “hell yeah” from a whole group of folks currently feeling dissed by the sport they have rabidly supported for decades.

Fans have been upset over various NASCAR decisions for years but many stayed true fans and continued to support it. It’s not even really about the flag issue, although that was likely a last straw moment for some, it’s the cumulative effect of their decisions that will continue to negatively affect NASCAR with their fans. They just keep digging their hole deeper.

There’s a well proven saying in marketing about it being cheaper to retain a customer than acquire a new one. It’s estimated to be around 7 times more expensive to get that new customer.

I don't have an opinion about whether he will lose or win, it's up in the air, I'm just saying this sort of stupidity is how an incumbent loses to such a terrible candidate like Biden.

IDK I would think most people can see through this stupid nonsense, but if 2016 thought me anything it's to never underestimate Trump. Every step of the way people said he would lose and he won. Maybe people have caught on to him by now maybe not. We won't know until election day.

I don't think you are being "thought" very well.

Wait, what? He's mocking him for having a good race but not winning? Why? IDK much about NASCAR, but I know enough to know this is stupid as hell. It'd be like a baseball team having a 4-2 week and somebody mocking them.

I don't know anything about it either but coming in 9th doesn't seem to be something one would celebrate.

If said baseball team needed to go 5-1 or 6-0 to make the playoffs, then it might be justified. Finishing in the top 10 of a nascar race is a noteworthy accomplishment, but it’s not going to get you into the postseason.

I didn't see him celebrate, so maybe he was over the top with it, but 9th (out of 40) is pretty good and there are other ways to score points within a race. He was actually 12th in points with 28 this week, but he gained on a lot of guys. 16 drivers had 7 points or less.

Again I don't watch but from the way it seemed this morning it felt like he won the race, but then I was thinking had he won social media and the media would be a circus. So I had to look it up and saw where he finished 9th so I thought it was funny. Does every driver celebrate coming in 9th?

Mostly those who very rarely ever sniff a top ten finish
or
those that are normally in the Chase and all points matter.

I can't even find that he celebrated. I've tried googling it. Are you sure that's why AH tweeted? It sounds like this is why AH tweeted and it appears he's a little bitch deflecting from a bad prediction:
