Eephus 25,872 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Great race today. Blaney deserved the win; there were lots of guys in and out of the lead pack but Penske was at the front for most of it. It's also always good when there's no big one. I've followed NASCAR fan since the days of Fred Lorenzen but I don't think I've ever been prouder to be a fan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snogger 2,981 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Loved the support all the racers and crew members did for Wallace. Has to be hell being the only black man racing in a "southern" sport. Can't fathom how they haven't found the person who put the noose up by now.. It was in a Nascar garage which I would figure has security system with cameras. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Payne 572 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 One of the better races in recent memory. Blaney was the car to beat all day. Wasn't your typical "follow the leader" plate racing. As far as the Wallace incident, much like snogger stated, I don't see how it's not already solved. There has to be cameras all over that place. Only thing that makes sense is a track employee who is aware of how to get in and out without being seen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snogger 2,981 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) FBI reports it was in fact a garage door pull rope, fashioned like a noose. But photo evidence proves it was that way since last fall. This would have been well before garage stalls were assigned. Good news in that no hate crime was going on. It is reaonable with all that is going on for Bubba to see it as he did.. But you'd think Nascar would have looked at it before the FBI got involved.

We should be relieved and happy about that. Yet folks still want to duke it out. Some folks still think he was targeted despite no evidence of that while others blame him for starting this despite the fact that the President of NASCAR escalated it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ILUVBEER99 1,373 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 This whole situation is bizarre. In no way should Rusty Wallace take any blame. He didn’t even see the thing. Whoever reported it is kind of an idiot though. All warehouse type garage doors have a pull rope. Most just have a knot in the rope tied for grip, but I’ve seen ones that have a hand grip exactly like the one pictured. I assume people in NASCAR have seen 100x’s the amount of garages that i have. Blame the dummies in NASCAR, not Rusty Wallace. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Payne 572 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 As mentioned, the situation is so strange. First, the only garage door with that was his? What are the odds of that? Not accusing anyone of anything. Just what are the odds that the only black driver is assigned that garage, in Alabama, the week after all hell breaks loose across the country and NASCAR demands removal of the confederate flag?? Then, nobody, anywhere in the garage....in ALL of NASCAR thought to mention it had been there previously prior to taking it to the FBI?? It took the FBI to "find" that?? Seems like when this was discovered, it could have been quickly resolved and explained with some communication between drivers, teams and officials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
