I won't call it fake news. Just a fake pic.
Wait, because a 307x361 pixel jpeg looks fuzzy when blown up full screen that is proof that it is fake? Oh, please.

But what does NASCAR know. hahahahahaha BOOM The whole article is more wrong than a soup sandwich!

NASCAR Tracks | NASCAR.com.
According to the article quoted, NASCAR says they have 29 tracks. The page you linked to says "NASCAR holds races at 30 different tracks..." Big problem: if you actually count the tracks on that list, there are 31. Here's some real proof: NASCAR has trouble counting their own tracks.

You haven't proven anything at all. The article quoted is from nascar.com, NOT "the MSM". NASCAR completes investigation into No. 43 at Talladega | NASCAR All in all, I'd say you're lucky nobody called your bluff & took that bet.
As you said yourself, "Nice try but as they say nowadays, youv'e (sic) been owned. :popcorn:"

'''No crime committed''' in NASCAR noose investigation | Reuters Video

More fake news. :oops:

Bubba didn't lose sponsors...because of BLM or the noose incident.


Quote:
There seems to be some confusion over Bubba Wallace’s sponsorship deal and the driver’s decision to create a unique Black Lives Matter color scheme for his No. 43 car while racing at Martinsville. Since arriving at Richard Petty Motorsports, Wallace has had a variety of primary sponsors that have often changed throughout the season.

Prior to Martinsville, Wallace’s primary sponsor in Atlanta for the Folds of Honor 500 was McDonald’s. Wallace’s past primary sponsors for 2020 have included Victory Junction, World Wide Technology and the U.S. Air Force. The Black Lives Matter car does not appear to have ties to a particular sponsor but was a joint-decision by Wallace along with Richard Petty Motorsports. According to Fox Sports, it was Petty’s idea to add the peace sign on the side of the car.

“I’m excited for this opportunity to run #BlackLivesMatter on the car for Martinsville,” Wallace explained, per NASCAR.com. “This statement that we have right here. … Running this race car. Being on live television. I think it’s going to speak volumes for what I stand for, but also what the initiative that NASCAR, the whole sport, is trying to push.”


He DID lose one sponsor, because he got mad at an irace (virtual/video game) back in April...and quit playing the video game.

Which, IMHO...he shouldn't have done.

NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace Loses Sponsor After Rage-Quitting Televised Sim Race - The Drive

Quote:
Wallace was fighting for position with Clint Bowyer of Stewart-Haas Racing during Sunday's NASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series when the two made contact along the front stretch of Bristol Motor Speedway. Bowyer closed the door on Wallace a hair too late, causing him to dart into the outer wall and crash, but the Stewart-Haas driver blamed the incident on Wallace and rejoined the track only to deliberately wreck him in the next corner. And that went exactly as you'd expect.

"That's it, that's why I don't take this **** serious," quipped Wallace as he reset to the pits, only to proclaim "Peace out!" as he closed down his stream and left the race.

Emu oil balm manufacturer Blue-Emu, an occasional sponsor of Richard Petty Racing since 2015, was similarly displeased and withdrew its sponsorship following the race.

Again. Much ado about nothing. People are looking for hate. Hate is not pretty, no matter who does it.

It's only 'fuzzy' around the rope. Nowhere else. That doesn't strike you as odd? I'm no Photoshop wizard. No single person could be. The program is just too powerful but I've used it since KAI made powertools for it. 20 years, maybe more. I'm pretty good at it and I know what to look for.
Don't believe me, please show that to anyone that knows how the program works and they'll agree. It is not an un-altered photo. The black line above the rope end, shadows come from a light source and that's no shadow. Where is the light source? His foot? That's also probably the closest thing to pure black in the entire photo. lol It's fake! Look, I'm no weatherman either but I know the difference between a drizzle and a down poor. Please, I'm not asking you to like or respect me. Personally I could care less, just trust me on this one. It's been altered.

Bubba Wallace '''relieved''' rope in garage wasn'''t noose targeted at him, acknowledges '''embarrassment''' | Fox News
Wallace said he was “embarrassed” by the incident, but relieved to know it wasn’t targeted at him. He never saw the noose in person, which he told ESPN was discovered by an African American member of his team who reported it to NASCAR. Phelps said he is bothered that it hadn't registered with anyone sooner, but reconfirmed that Wallace's team had nothing to do with it, which has been alleged by some on social media.

I'm pretty sure, not too far back, I said do not trust the MSM. All MSM. Research yourself, draw your own conclusions.... I guess I should have included NASCAR in that statement. My apologies. Article says 29, NASCAR says 30, you counted the tracks at 31. Media says NASCAR said 29... Who FC anymore lol. Someone here took the liberty at altering something from the article and implying/assuming they really meant 29 + the one they were at. Bit of a stretch there don't you think? And then added the word 'other' which used where it was, was purposely misleading to back up their argument. It's still there. Look for yourself.
And you are correct. Seems the good ol boys at Left Turn central don't know what properties they have or not.

The thread was titled
Nascar Noose story may be a hoax or case of mistaken identity
See those were the only two possibilities mentioned.

I could cite many more. This gist of the majority of postings on the thread was that there was no real noose, it was all fake news. Now more information is out including the actual unretouched, uncropped photo and data from NASCAR about the pull down ropes on every other garage door in its sport.

There was exactly ONE noose found in examining 1,684 stalls. ONE. And only 11 ropes tied in a knot out of 1,684 stalls. And this is a noose. It wasn't aimed at Mr. Wallace and may not have been made maliciously. But it is absolutely not a standard rope on a garage door. It was not an over-reaction or fake. It was not a hoax and it was not mistaken identity. It was a real noose, and the only rope at a NASCAR facility tied into a noose. And to those who are seemingly willingly blind to the reasons there was concern. I offer this photograph.
Things sometimes look like what someones predisposed agenda expects to see. Take a closer look at the picture that the OP posted. It is a rope with a big loop. A noose is a self tightening knot that only gets tighter when weight is hung from it. Nooses can be a very bad thing if used for the wrong purpose. The knot in the picture is a fixed knot that will not tighten when weight is hung from it. Look at reality and ignore what ones agenda fictitiously sees.

So do drivers always get the same garage or was this the first time he was in it. The noose could have been there previously in somebodies else's garage.

Tom2172 06-26-2020 05:02 AM
It’s a rope
It’s used to close garage door
It’s been like that since 2019
Before NASCAR went public with their racist hoax they knew that.
This was racist publicity for Nascar to get diversity!
Very racist publicity stunt by evil NASCAR
It was wrong NASCAR should be condemned

THE RACE ENDED WITH BUBBA RUNNING OUT OF GAS. Funny that none of the drivers got out to push him across the finish line after the race.

Henryfrakl 06-26-2020 05:20 AM
All the garage pulls look like that. Just another one caught in a flat out lie

Just another “poor me. Im so discriminated against” story. It was proven that rope is a door pull and has been there for over a year!! Maybe he should stop the pot stirring and also apologize for the crap he tried to start. FBI proved he lied

EXACTLY!

Bubba didn't see it.

Bubba didn't report it.

Bubba didn't "start" anything.

Bubba isn't "stirring the pot," only racist/bigoted white people incensed at the ban on confederate flags and hatred of BLM...are doing that and keep "stirring-the-pot." :oops:

Since in and of itself, it's not against the law to just be a racist or bigot (as long as one isn't exercising it to control jobs/promotions/housing/Etc.) why can't those folks just be honest...and publicly own/admit it? :ohdear:
