I gotta admit, I felt pretty hoodwinked when the noose was revealed.

Its a NON-Slip loop knot.
Hangman's nooses are slip knots that will tighten when weight is put on it. .
This is not a noose..

What makes you suspect or speculate about that? What proof do you have and why did you say that about him. I too think that this story is fishy as heck. A noose (hangman's noose is very distinctive and hard to not recognize) Who found this noose and reported it? The media said it was not Bubba that found the noose and that Bubba never said this so called noose. Yea it appears that the media jumped the gun or all those FBI agents are lying though their teeth. I suspect that the media is the one that jumped the gun on this one. It’s his OPINION.. and that is enough. Opinions should be based on facts not conjecture. IMHO. Especially when you are talking about someone else's thoughts. How can anyone tell what someone else is thinking unless they tell you what they are thinking. Did bubby say anything to that effect about the noose. Look I don't know this bubba guy. I don't follow NASCAR. Cars going around and around and only making left turns does not interest me at all. I'm more into camping outdoors where it's QUIET. Bubba never saw the noose before someone else saw it and called the authorities. That is the story that the press was saying And that picture is too small to tell what the rope looked like. In your picture the rope looks a lot thinner than in another photo that I saw somewhere else. But again I have no idea who took the pictures or if any of the pictures was photoshopped. It's very easy to photoshop pictures these days with Adobe Photoshop Software. I know because I bought and use Photoshop Elements some times. I'm not very good with that software, but I know others can do things with it these days. I saw another picture (See GregHoppers post on page 2 in here that was provided by NASCAR) that had a better close up on the so called hangman's noose and in that picture the rope looked a lot thicker with a hangman's noose knot tied on the end of the rope. Now, if that was a slip type hangman's noose knot then that would change the entire story. If the knot was just a loop knot that didn't slip shut then it was more than likely a pull handle for the garage door. And that is based on what I call certain facts reported by the media/NASCAR. None of us where there so the only thing we can go on is what we see reported by the media?NASCAR. And I admit that I don't know what type of knot it was. So I'm trying to cover all the bases by looking at two different possibilities. It sure looks like a Hangman's noose knot to me in the NASCAR photo that greghopper posted in here. But I'm not saying anything about anyone's thoughts to which I have no way of knowing unless they tell me what they are thinking. We can't yet read people's minds. IMHO. In my humble opinion.

NASCAR releases photo to the media of the garage pull rope formed as a noose from the Bubba Wallace garage Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. This image was provide by NASCAR. t.co/7eJRwdjqH3This picture from NASCAR sure looks more like a hangman's noose than the one Woody showed in his post earlier on page 1. See how one picture is worth a 1000 words! At least there were no Watermelon's on his work bench in bay 4. LOL “As you can see from the photo, the noose was real, as was our concern for Bubba,” NASCAR President Steve Phelps said Thursday. Phelps said Thursday that the sanctioning body has checked all 29 tracks where it has national series events and 1,684 garage stalls. Only 11 had knots in a pull-down rope and only one – the one at Talladega – had a knot shaped as a noose. He said he did not know if it was a functioning noose. The fact that the hangman's noose on the end of the pull rope in bay #4 was there long before Bubba was assigned to Bay #4 at the race track shows that it was not directed at Bubba. And one of the teams members (who was black) found the hangman's noose on the end of the pull rope. They took pictures of the rope before cutting it off. As far as I'm concerned this is over. The FBI investigated this and concluded that the knot was there long before Bubba was assigned that garage for his race car. Now about the confederate battle flag. The South Surrendered to Grant back in 1864 or 1865 and there is only one flag for these United States and that is Old Glory. IMHO we should have burned all the confederate flags. Flying a confederate battle flag is akin to the Germans flying a German NAZI party swastikas' on a flag pole. Neither of those examples should be allowed anymore.

If it was not a slip type knot then it was not a functioning hangman's noose knot. Thanks for settling the issue.

The flag that everyone is arguing over was never one of the three flags of the Confederacy. It was a flag of a minute men militia in Virginia both before and after the Cival War.
It has been known as the Tebel Flag for my entire existence and has stood for the common man questioning the Government's authority. To me, deleting that flag is just another way of the government overstepping that authority. What NASCAR or any other private business does is simply that, their private business.

The one thats longer than it is wide is a second confederate navy jack. The one that is equal sides is not really the confederate flag but just part of the flag. I never thought of it as nothing else but the flag on top of the General Lee car.

It’s his OPINION.. and that is enough. Opinions should be based on facts not conjecture. IMHO. ; I saw this despite the ignore feature and I was going to just let it go, but I can't. Its Ironic that its your opinion that an opinion should be based on facts, since the literal definition of an Opinion is that it may or may not be based on facts.
