NASCAR issued the following statement Sunday night:
“Late this afternoon, NASCAR was made aware that a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team. We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we take this heinous act. We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport. As we have stated unequivocally, there is no place for racism in NASCAR, and this act only strengthens our resolve to make the sport open and welcoming to all.”
Bubba Wallace drives the No. 43 Chevrolet for Richard Petty Motorsports. The lone Black driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, Wallace has used his voice and platform over recent weeks to speak out against racial injustice in the world.
He released his own statement later Sunday, vowing to not give in or back down in his quest.

Until a perp has been identified, judgment should be withheld.

My first thought as well, especially since the Talledega race is only allowing 5,000 spectators (5% capacity?) and surely there were no pit passes distributed.
FWIW, the race was rained out yesterday and is scheduled to run today at 3:00PM EST on Fox.

Damn. Cut grass or break out the Windsor Canadian?
Decisions, decisions.
Between the KungFlu and the mass insanity stuff, I'm turning into a lazy, worthless piece of shit.
Next stop, democrat.
Crap, it's supposed to rain tonight. OK, I'll cut the grass THEN break out the whiskey, watch the race this afternoon, and if I don't get too drunk, I'll still have time to paint swastikas on the local synagogue.
Multi-tasking.

Finally, someone will get the fairly simple design right. :)

Trying to remember if the fingers are supposed to point CW or CCW always triggers my ADHD.

I like to keep my microaggressions focused and intelligent sounding.
Where did I put that damned paintbrush?

Esso: I felt a great disturbance in the fans, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in disgust and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened to this sport.
