The FBI announced on Tuesday that NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace was not the victim of a hate crime and that a door pull rope fashioned like a noose which was found in his garage at Talladega Superspeedway had been there since as early as October last year. NASCAR president Steve Phelps said, “this is the best result we could hope for,” adding that NASCAR would continue its investigation as to why the rope was fashioned into a noose. The incident comes less than two weeks after the organization banned display of the Confederate flag at all racing events.
Maybe, just maybe somebody knew what they were doing and used a bowline knot, which is superior to almost any other type of pull device on the market?
