Reading what Phelps said on the conference call, I get the impression they can see who did it, just not releasing details till FBI gets done. Whoever it is is gonna be banned for life

Bubba Wallace is a black dude who drives for the most winningest driver in nascar history. I don't think he needs help getting the spotlight.

Given the tight restrictions to a secure area (especially with the pandemic protocols) it seems like it would be an inside job, but would someone who works at the track or for NASCAR really be willing to throw their career away by doing this?

Brehanna is the first black women to work in a NASCAR pit crew. She took this on her way into the track on race day.

Finally arrived here near the track in Talladega and some race fans are holding up traffic with their confederate flags. Not surprised by this. They’re obviously angry. pic.twitter.com/S6EVH2ZMKi

So do you have proof this was meant for her or was this just another day at the race track?

I think it's more likely a local track worker(part time or voluntary gig), than a NASCAR official or crew member. But then again, there's idiots everywhere and they may not have thought it through.

I don't think BRC, or the the girl were insinuating it was directed at her.

Now that I reread it I think you are right but who was taking the video seems irrelevant then.

75% of the time traveling through AL when we stop for food, gas, hotel etc. we have at least one incident of blatant racism said to us or to someone else. They don't care if we hear their comment. Because we are lily white we are viewed as one of them. TWICE they have said to us, "we would have been a lot better off if the South would have won".

You sure seem to end up in some oddball random situations some how.

I’d really like to see the set up of the garage. I’m curious how easily a local track worker could get access to his stall.

Wouldn’t it be pretty easy for a driver to hire someone to tamper with another vehicle like this? If the Patriots have taught us anything, it’s that someone is always cheating.

Wouldn’t a local track worker also be more likely to steal from the garage too?

Again, I’m not a NASCAR fan so I’m sure there’s plenty I’m missing here. Just seems like poor planning that a local track worker could get to that area so easily.

Really?

In 4 years he has no wins, no polls, his average start is 24 with an average finish of 23. During that time he has only led 23 of the 23,500+ laps ran.

He was brought up as a driver who spent very little, if any, time actually working on the cars. That lack of hands on car knowledge is becoming an issue which he himself has openly spoke about several times. His contract only runs through 2020. If he was white, what are the odds that he'd be looking for a new team? I believe Petty has recently talked about plans to extend the contract for another year.

He could definitely use a boost if he wants to climb to the top of the sport and maximize his platform.

I look like the stereotypical racist ****s down here. My black neighbors tell me that's why I can walk around the neighborhood for 2000 miles and never been stopped or bothered by the police. Yet they are stopped at least 2-3 times a year by the police.

Are we certain someone didnt mistake Bubba Smollets serpentine belt for a noose?

[ghak99]

I'm certain he just had a good car on a good run with a good push and ****ed it up.

It is pretty obvious you don't watch or know much about NASCAR. The last time that car won a race was 2014, before that it was 1999. It goes way beyond that though, the 43 is generally in the back half of the field. They never get talked about.
I don't know how many of you know or are watching the race right now but Wallace is having a good day since he is in the top 10 but guess what not one word about him or the day he is having.

[alpha_omega]

Ya, he was in the lead with 27 to go, he’s slipped back a bit now.
