FBI Investigation Reveals 'Noose' Had Been in Talladega Garage for Some Time

MAJOR TWIST in the Bubba Wallace noose story.

Here are the findings from the FBI:

NEWS: The FBI has just released a statement about the NASCAR noose incident at Talladega, indicating it was a misunderstanding. No crime was committed. The noose was already there as early as last year. pic.twitter.com/j2MGrOvUN3

So the ‘noose’ was there previously, maybe as early as last October. Nobody knew Wallace would be in that stall, and it looks like it was not possible to place it there ahead of time as an “inside job” or whatever the accusation was.

The FBI statement doesn’t say exactly what the ‘noose,’ is, which would be helpful. Thankfully NASCAR had a statement explaining what the hell was going on:

And here’s an image from Twitter that Jeff Gluck shared, one that had been going around Twitter over the past day or so, which illustrates what NASCAR is talking about in the statement:

Apologies for not knowing who originally created this image, but it has been making the rounds on Twitter and turned out to be correct. You can see in the left photo the rope was in noose form — apparently as a handle — last year and then cut for evidence Sunday. pic.twitter.com/MIrtF3uqtN

That solves it. Carry on!
