On Sunday, NASCAR announced that someone had placed a noose in Bubba, the only black driver on the circuit, Wallace’s garage at Talladega Superspeedway. By Tuesday, the FBI investigation proved that Wallace was not target with a hate crime and that the noose was actually a rope to pull down the garage door. Al Sharpton hasn’t been able to make any money off of the George Floyd nonsense, but NACSAR has deep pockets so he’s not ready to accept the federal investigation conclusion.
Last Sunday Bubba Wallace claimed he found a noose in his randomly-assigned garage at Talladega. Because Wallace is black, the FBI jumped in to investigate and a couple of days later determined that the “noose” was actually a pull-down for the garage door and that it had been in that particular garage since last year. Also, they figured out that nobody could have possibly anticipated Wallace would have ended up in that garage, which are assigned days before the race, a year in advance.
After this news, Wallace went on CNN to dispute the FBI findings and double-down that someone put a noose in his garage. His PR people figured out he was looking worse than Al Sharpton and eventually he stopped trying to promote himself as the victim of a hate crime.
Al Sharpton has no problem coming off worse than Al Sharpton so he went on MSNBC to propose a conspiracy theory that isn’t supported by the facts at all:
Sharpton not ready to give up on the NASCAR “noose” story: “It’s clear what a noose represents … And then did someone know that it was in the stall when they did belatedly assign Bubba there? … I do not think that we’ve seen closure in this particular inquiry.” pic.twitter.com/xzq5hQIWC5

“The FBI done-ified it as a noose, and NASCAR said it was a noose so went along with the FBI’s characterization so it was a noose,” said Sharpton.
None of that is remotely true.
“So the question is, even if they did not know that Bubba Wallace was going to use that stall, why was a noose in the stall?” Sharpton asked.
Because there wasn’t a noose in his garage as per the federal investigation.
“It’s clear what a noose represents and I think to go whether or not they knew sooner or later that that the one black driver would use that stall really doesn’t answer why it was in the stall at all. And did someone know it was in the stall when they belatedly assigned Bubba there?” Sharpton queried.
Okay, this is Sharpton’s conspiracy: Loops have been the go-to method of pulling garage doors down at Talladega since it was built in 1968. Last October, one of those loops came off the garage door on a particular garage and was left somewhere within that garage. The person who placed the missing garage door loop somehow knew that 8 months later Bubba Wallace, the only black NASCAR driver, would be randomly assigned that particular garage because he or she is not only a racist, but a psychic.
Sharpton went on to say that Bubba Wallace is “the victim and possible target in this matter.” He also said, “I do not think we’ve seen closure in this particular inquiry.”
Of course not. Sharpton has yet to make one dime off of this. Again, NASCAR has deep pockets and Rev. Al knows that.
While speaking to TMZ, Sharpton let his true intentions be known:
“NASCAR can expect a visit from me and I won’t be coming to drive a car,” said Sharpton.
This is a solid plan for race-hustler Sharpton. NASCAR has already banned Confederate flags and propped up Bubba Wallace’s noose hoax. They apparently think Black Lives Matter and guilty white liberals make up their fanbase, so they will probably pay off Al Sharpton to avoid his customary racial grievance shake-down.
