Autoweek reports the FBI has concluded that the "noose" black driver Bubba Wallace found in his garage at Talladega Superspeedway was in fact a pull rope to close a roll-up door. Sometime last year someone had tied the rope's end into a grab loop, long before Wallace was assigned that space.
Verdict: no hate crime, in fact no crime at all. It must be really frightening for a black guy in NASCAR, around all those blue-collar southern whites. Or is the real fear that being accepted by those redneck dudes puts his racial bonafides in question? Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
