NASCAR’s only black driver Bubba Wallace on Monday denounced “HATE from the POTUS” after President Trump suggested that Wallace apologize for saying he was the victim of a hate crime. Wallace’s teammates this year reported an apparent noose in his garage stall that the FBI later determined was not a hate crime and had been in place there since October 2019. He was not the source of the original claim. Wallace’s response to Trump came in a tweeted statement that he addressed to “the next generation and little ones following my foot steps.”

President Donald Trump called out driver Bubba Wallace on Monday, alleging that a noose found in his garage at Talladega Superspeedway last month was a hoax and questioning NASCAR's decision to ban the Confederate flag from the sport.Trump tweeted: "Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!"  Tyler Reddick, who drives the No. 8 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, responded that...

If you’re already fed up with the repugnant race pandering from sports like NASCAR and the English Premier League, get ready for much worse. Watching the NBA or NFL will be tantamount to endorsing the loathsome ideology of BLM and Antifa. Take a knee, sports fan, or take a hike. I’m choosing the latter. When I turned on the restart of the EPL to see all teams take the knee while wearing Black Lives Matter on their jerseys, my viewing days were over. The fake-noose abomination and subsequent race pandering of NASCAR ending that decades-long kinship. Even watching sport shows...

A NASCAR driver will debut a Trump 2020 car in the Brickyard 400 race against Bubba Wallace this weekend, just weeks after the black driver found a 'noose' in his garage. Corey LaJoie, 28, will take to the tracks this Sunday in his newly painted Ford Mustang which will have 'Trump 2020' splashed across the hood and rear-quarter panels, his race team announced Wednesday. Go Fas Racing revealed the new design for the number 32 car ahead of the race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, this weekend and pledged its support for Donald Trump's reelection campaign.

Today, NASCAR released a picture of the garage pull-down rope and knot that both they and Bubba Wallace described as a “noose hanging over the car“. Except it clearly was not hanging over the car, and it clearly wasn’t a “noose” or it wouldn’t function to help pull the door down. Driver Bubba Wallace now calls it “a non-functioning noose.” Or, in simple terms, a garage pull-down rope with a loop-knot tied in the end. However, what NASCAR does not yet realize is the picture they have provided actually makes the situation worse; because the picture shows something else, something...

Hoaxer Bubba Wallace pulled a Smollett on Tuesday night after the FBI completely busted his a$$ earlier in the day.Earlier Tuesday the FBI released a statement on its investigation at the Talladega Superspeedway “noose” and determined that Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime. It was a knot in a door rope that had been hanging there for several months! Before Bubba ever moved into the garage.NASCAR on Sunday released a statement revealing that a noose was reportedly found in top driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega garage stall.TRENDING: Black Lives Matter Activist Loses One of His Testicles...

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's father has spoken out after images were released of the suspected noose in his garage that was determined by the FBI not to be a hate crime. 'We've had to jump through a lot of hurdles and put up with a lot of stuff — from when he was nine years old, up until today,' Darrell Wallace Sr told CBS This Morning on Friday. Darrell grew emotional while recounting Monday's show of solidarity at Talladega, where all the drivers joined together to push Bubba's car to the front of the line after NASCAR claimed a noose...

NASCAR employees will receive sensitivity training in the coming weeks after the discovery of a garage door pull tied into a noose was found in driver Bubba Wallace’s garage and triggered a national controversy, president Steve Phelps said on Thursday. “We'll make any changes necessary to our sanctions and our code of conduct and we will mandate that all members of our industry complete sensitivity and unconscious bias training,” Phelps said during a press conference.

You have to feel kind of sorry for the once modest movement called Black Lives Matter. I suppose it started out earnestly enough. I’ll take it at its word. While not every case was honestly discussed, there was room and willingness in this country to discuss policing, racial profiling, and racism in some rare corners of our nation. People of goodwill all share a desire to identify, punish, and purge such behavior from the culture. But just like the high school party you throw when your parents are out of town, all it takes are a few idiots to start...

Before NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace appeared on CNN with Don Lémon to discuss his now disproven racial “noose” targeting, he had a decision to make. Wallace could accept the FBI/NASCAR finding and admit an honest mistake was made by an overly sensitive Richard Petty racing team; or he could make racism his new identity in NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick did with football in the NFL. Bubba Wallace chose the latter. As a result of Wallace’s new identity, and his announced career goals, NASCAR will now fragment in the same way as the National Football League. Social justice will now define...

On Tuesday’s edition of “First Take” on ESPN, Wallace identified mechanic David Cropps as the team member who found the rope. “When my crew guy – who happens to be African-American - saw that he did his research first,” Wallace, a native of Mobile, explained on “First Take.” “I was very proud of that. David Cropps, a guy I’ll stand by in any trenches on any day, walked up and down the garages to make sure he wasn’t overreacting. He saw that other garage pulls were basically just a solid piece of rope, no knots in them, and we have...

On Tuesday night, the FBI concluded there was no hate crime after its investigation into the alleged noose found in the garage stall of NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace. Officials said it was not actually a noose at all but instead a rope used as a garage door pull that had been there since last year. Bubba Wallace responded by giving an interview to CNN’s Don Lemon in which he refused to accept the FBI’s conclusion that this was not a hate crime. Wallace is sticking to his story that it was “a straight-up noose.” Now, Hollywood star James Woods is...

Reports surfaced Sunday night that NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace was the apparent victim of a hate crime, after a “noose” was found hanging from the driver’s garage. In the midst of the reports, before the results of an investigation, The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill appeared on MSNBC airwaves to slam NASCAR and its fans for being what she suggested are anti-black racists. “This reminder is [a] very stunning, shocking, appalling, disgusting reminder of who, again, this sport is for,” Hill told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday, as noted by The Hill. “I’m very curious to see how NASCAR handles this, because...

top us if you’ve heard this one before: The media — excited about a story that confirms all of its favorite narratives — gives the “news” prominent airtime before journalists actually do the hard work of thoroughly fact-checking. And, before long, the actual news turns out to pretty much the opposite of what these credulous reporters claimed. It happened with Jussie Smollett. It happened with Covington. It happened with the Virginia girl whose dreads were supposedly cut off. And now it’s happened again — in the most predictable, absolutely unsurprising development of 2020.

In all his years in auto racing, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace said Tuesday night, he has never seen anything like what he described as a “straight-up noose” that was being used as a door pull in the garage he was assigned last week at Talladega Speedway in Alabama. “I’ve been racing all of my life,” Wallace told CNN's Don Lemon. “We've raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pulls like that. So people that want to call it a garage pull and put out all the videos and photos of knots being as their evidence, go ahead,...

Hours after it was announced that what was thought to be a noose was a garage door pull and no hate crime was directed at Bubba Wallace at Talladega Superspeedway, Richard Petty Motorsports reacted the investigation. “On Sunday, June 21, members of Richard Petty Motorsports discovered a rope tied in fashion of a noose in the garage stall assigned to the team at the Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway,” the statement said. “In accordance with established protocols, our team member notified the crew chief who notified NASCAR of the presence of the item in the garage stall. NASCAR leadership determined the course...

While the FBI investigation into the noose found in Darrell Wallace Jr.’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway is over, NASCAR’s own investigation is ongoing. “We are continuing our portion of the investigation to try to determine why there was a rope fashioned into a noose, which obviously happened sometime last October, or before,” said NASCAR President Steve Phelps.

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace said he is "absolutely" reinvigorated to help advocate for social change and educate others after an alleged racist incident in his team's garage over the weekend. Wallace joined "The View" Tuesday and explained his current perspective about what comes next after NASCAR's massive show of support at Monday's race as the FBI joined the investigation into Sunday's incident at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama.

NASCAR is dead to me. DEAD. The Conservative Treehouse has proven what many of us instantly suspected: it was an in-house NASCAR hoax (because obviously – NASCAR infield garages have better security than the White House), specifically the “noose” was the manual garage door pull-down that EVERY bay at Talladega has. Duh. I mean, these cucked* crackers make Juicy Smoolyay look like a tactical genius. *The word “cucked” is not an obscenity. It is the adjective form of “cuckold”, a man who permits other men to fornicate with his wife. The rhyme is coincidental. Several things need to be pointed...

A noose found in the garage stall assigned to NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace on Sunday at the Talladega Superspeedway had been there since October 2019, meaning the circuit’s only full-time black driver was not the victim of a hate crime, the FBI concluded Tuesday. “Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week,” the FBI said in a statement. The FBI said it would not be pursuing federal charges after the object was deemed to be a garage door...
