Nascar could have investigated it without making it a national upheaval. Why didn't they? That's a very interesting question. Let's say the noose was done with ill intentions. Should it have gotten to this level? Remember Nascar is a business. How many businesses deal with racially sensitive situations each and every day, hundreds, thousands? Should each one be national news and ammunition for chaos? For some the answer might be yes. For others, like me, the answer is punish wrong doers for their actions but don't use individual incidents to push a political narrative or as an excuse to use it for violence. How many swastikas are painted on the side of Jewish homes and synagogues? How many make the news? Maybe swastikas really don't have any bad memories for Jews. Oh, Jews are white, never mind. There are so, so many horrible things happening everyday in this world, things that don't simply hurt feels but actually take lives and we make a monumental deal of a rope fashioned like a noose. So much for our priorities.

Under those circumstances, nearly anyone would have reported it." Were Bubba & his crew using that stall during the months the noose was there? It sure doesn't sound like it. That would definitely be part of the circumstances.
Who knows why NASCAR called the FBI? The hoopla has mostly died down in the press; no so much here on ToTV however.
Swastikas? Synagogues? Can we even keep on topic here? This is news, whether worthy or not, because of the racial turmoil going on at the moment in this country. Denying & excusing what IS A NOOSE doesn't make it go away. I'll be all too happy to drop the subject as soon as all that stuff stops.
