“Wood Brothers Racing were the last team to occupy the garage and they released a statement saying an employee had remembered seeing a "tied handle" on the garage door last October.“

It's probably a bowline knot too
The knot in question, scroll in a bit.

I read that one of his team members cut it off and took it to a supervisor and it went up the chain.

Bubba remains "unconvinced"...
Bubba Wallace defiant, calls rope 'straight-up noose' after FBI says no crime occurred
If he got any benefit of the doubt before, he doesn't now. That's just stupid.

He's a narcissist
Anyone ever spent some time around pull-down garage doors? You either had a strap or length or rope to pull down the door, sometimes fashioned with a loop.
Or a noose if that's what you need to call it.
Fuck NASCAR.

Yea, I was pretty on the fence about this whole thing just being a misunderstanding because of current climate, but idk now.
They need to release photos of the noose.
Yeah, it looks like a noose, but NASCAR and Bubba Wallace mishandled this, and seem to be intent on pissing off as many people as possible.
Dude...The fricken' FBI came down to investigate this, Fox said they sent like a dozen agents down there. Imagine the volume of questioning and CCTV video viewing they did... And they came back within a couple days and said it was all BS!!
Most outlets have failed to provide the picture from last year, or talk about how it was all BS in the first place, only Fox is showing the garage pull rope. I saw the story on Newsy, CNN, and one of the NBCs. Each of them presented it as still being a "noose", but that no hate crime has been uncovered. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE JACKASS CHANNELS MENTIONED THAT IT WASN'T A NOOSE!!

This Fisherman's knot that's been on the pull rope for 8 months is a 'noose'...
NASCAR reveals pic of noose, concern was 'real'

So this is weird. NASCAR President is saying that the rope (which definitely looks like a noose to my untrained eye) was not present back in October
I grant that it could be a commonly-used type of knot for a pull handle, but it could also be easily mistaken for a noose.

Very true, but we also don't know if it was someone bored and messing around. We don't know how it got there. He also has a history of difficulty attracting sponsors.
NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace finds voice, even if no potential new sponsors
Does racism play into that? Probably. He's also never finished higher than 22nd in the Cup series and never won a race at that level, with a 2nd in the Daytona 500 as his best result. As we've seen with Kaepernick, courting controversy isn't the best way to gain traction with corporate America. Now with times changing, and his position and activism, you'd think companies would beat down his door to sponsor him.
The noose could be a racist message, it could be someone bored and goofing off with Wallace drawing that garage spot later, or cynically he or his team did it to drum up emotion and financial support.
We'll never know so to jump to conclusions does a disservice to far, far more people than just Bubba.

I'm not a NASCAR fan, but a buddy is. He went on a Bubba rant the other day about Bubba 'needing' this type of publicity because he's so unliked by his fellow racers and sponsors, that he was about to have to leave NASCAR.
Based only on what I've heard about him, I've always thought Bubba was a douche. Most recently when he was fired by a sponsor for "rage quitting' a virtual race. That's right....a freeking video game.
NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace Lost an Actual Sponsorship Because He Rage-Quit in iRacing
Hell, I didn't even know Bubba was Black until this noose thing happened.
