Its clearly not even close to be the same rope or knot


Exactly. Unless the guy standing by it with his hand in his pocket is 17' tall.

Look at these racist cowboys trying to noose an innocent black heifer...



That rope is as much of a noose (maybe more since the knot actually slides) as the one in the picture.

also skeptical that hemp rope, rather than nylon rope would be used as a garage pull


Does look a little different. Photo makes it look way bigger than it actually is

I do like that how something that caused such a big shite storm gets this ONE GRAINY picture released as proof.

Lmao nascar actually manufactured a noose, just so they can hang it up and take a picture and present it as evidence, way after the fact that it became apparent the original one was just a hand loop which is on all the garage doors there.

well that damn sure looks like a noose....


Doesn't look big enough to fit around a human neck. Not even a child.

I know, its not even close. Even if we don't know scale, the rope is not the same or the knot.

They probably sent Kyle Petty down there with his 10 year old blackberry to collect evidence.

There was a photo that that showed the garage stall next door to this one the day after. You could see this one cut off.

You could see the curve in the next door stall as it hung down which is what a rope looks like for a short time after a knot is taken out, so they untied it.

The article I read said that all garages on the entire circuit were checked and no other pull handles of this type were found. I do not believe that for a second.

Damage control by nascar trying to cover for the story they pushed all weekend.

There were photos of other stalls at Talladega with rope pull handles with the same knot. Not noose

Looks like handle to pull down a rolling door.

Don’t be that dumb arse Jussie Wallace.

Not a good idea to lie to the fbi, but the public is fair game.

That is barely big enough to stick Trump's Johnson in let alone Wallace's big azz head. They showed pictures of many other garages with the same rope. It is too low to hang a midget.

For those who love NASCAR and I mean those who actually spend their hard earned money on it; it’s time to leave it behind. There’s nothing more you can do but watch it collapse and hit rock bottom. It’s no longer the “sport” you grew to love in the first place but has morphed into something else. It’s now a corporatist, elitist enterprise.

No it doesn't.

Phelps said NASCAR conducted a thorough sweep of all the garage areas in all 29 tracks in which they race, which encompasses 1,684 garage stalls. "We found only 11 total that had a pull-down rope tied in a knot, and only one noose - the one discovered on Sunday in Bubba Wallace's garage," Phelps said.

and did it rain at Talladega on Sunday?



According to a weather station located near the speedway, it started raining Sunday at around 2pm until around 2:30pm, so the pic could have been taken that afternoon. Since the garage pull had been there since 2019, what day/time did the Wallace crew show up in that garage? Were they in the garage for awhile using the pull and not initially think much of it?

Doesn't photo and video evidence disprove this claim by Phelps?

Why would the rope be that low if the door is open? I.e. shouldn't be higher?
