I'm thinking this is more a misperception than a hoax.
I dont follow Nascar. Is Bubba any good or was he trying for a Kaep moment where he can stop working and get PAID?
1 other thing. I wonder how the rest of the drivers perceive this? What happens in 1 of the next few races if a driver happens to "bump" Bubba.
Would that driver be known as a racist?
he's never won a race and L3 years finished 50th, 28th, and 28th ... he's led only 24 laps in his 89 races. He's simply playing the race card for sponsorships as he's the only black racer at this level and he knows no sponsor will leave the team for fear of him calling them out as racist. Last I heard he still had no big sponsor for the hood of his car but that probably changed over the weekend after he was made to be the feature player.
Maybe The View or XiNN will pony up the money for the hood?
anyway, no, he's not a top level Noosecar driver...typically finishes in middle or middle-rear of the field. He's using his half-blackness to gain corporate sponsors which was working fine with the Confederate Flag stuff but obviously pushed too far with the fake noose.
I hope nobody in the pits wears a leather belt or he'll accuse them of wearing a whip. Notice that nobody has seen the alleged noose either...hell, might have been a complete fabrication
