A North Carolina racetrack owner is facing severe backlash after advertising “Bubba Rope” for sale on Facebook, just days after a noose was found in Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega International Speedway.
Mike Fulp, the owner of 311 Motor Speedway in Stokes County, North Carolina, advertised the “Bubba Rope” for sale on Facebook on Wednesday, according to the Winston-Salem Journal. The post was taken down on Thursday.
“Buy your Bubba Rope today for only $9.99 each, they come with a lifetime warranty and work great.”
NASCAR released a photo of the noose that was hanging in Wallace’s garage stall on Thursday, which federal investigators said had been there since October 2019 and wasn’t directed at Wallace — the sport’s lone Black driver.
