Newly released images of the alleged noose

1) Anyone looking at that will think it is a noose, so not hard to see why a team member thought it was, especially considering the current issues with the Confederate Battle Flag and Bubba's support for BLM.
2) The counter argument is that this has been there for awhile and is just a garage door pull-down, which is a convincing argument . But this garage was only assinged to Bubba's team last week, so it is conceivable a team member was unfamiliar with this style of pulldown.
3) The counter to #2 , which I just heard on Conservative AM talk radio, is:
NASCAR shares picture of noose from Bubba Wallace's garage, says search at all tracks found only one pulldown rope in noose
NASCAR president Steve Phelps said the organization continued its investigation of the incident after the conclusion of the FBI investigation. Phelps said sweeps of every track in the Cup Series were conducted as part of the NASCAR investigation. That included 29 speedways and 1,684 garage stalls, and Phelps said 11 pull-down ropes with knot ties had been found, but the only one fashioned like a noose was in the Talladega garage.

I was all set to totally believe this was a case of someone not being familiar with those pull-downs and consequently jumping the gun but with the above comment from NASCAR I am not soo sure anymore. If all the garages in Talladega had this style of pull-down then it is just a pull-down.
