Not surprised at all. Missouri has never been short of racists, right wing fruit loops, and idiots. |

My problem with this being staged is it wouldn't actually benefit Bubba. He's already been a fairly popular driver for the last few years despite his relative lack of success(which is more to do with the equipment that he is in than it does with his talent; put him in the #9 NAPA Camaro at Hendrick and he would probably be doing just as well as it's current occupant Chase Elliott, or the #12 Mustang at Penske with Ryan Blaney). He is a young up and comer, that unfortunately isn't in a top team like Hendrick/Penske/Gibbs. That's his biggest handicap.
And just the last few weeks he has garnered major attention from not only in the sport, but outside of the sport as well. Alvin Kamara and LeBron James had already become fans of him before this past weekend, he was already a leader among NASCAR drivers on social media trends prior to this weekend, non NASCAR (and even non sports) media was already talking about him constantly prior to this weekend. So what does Bubba, or his team, or Richard Petty Motorsports, stand to gain from faking this incident? Doesn't seem smart on their part, let alone NASCAR's. Not just asking people here, but as a general question. |

but he doesn't need this to keep his job. That's the point. He was not in danger of losing his ride prior to any of the events over the past few weeks, let alone the noose allegedly being found in his stall at Dega.

So while I dont have anything negative to say about bubba, pretending that he must be an awesome driver because his owner has the most wins in nascar history is flawed. |

You seriously believe that this happened? FFS Richard Petty has a BLM Car, they just banned the Confederate Flag. I'm more willing to believe they did this as a PR Stunt to draw attention to the "NEW NASCAR" than anything else. |
