That’s the double overhand knot I was talking about.
You can also do the same thing by essentally tying a square knot.
Use a single overhand knot then pick up the tail and pass it through making a single wrap and it comes out looking like a square knot but doesn’t slip.

Murdock point that the reaction from NASCAR and everyone of Wallace’s peers and the associated track crews was one of absolute support for Wallace and was vehemently anti racist is being completely ignored by the Media. In fact, as the clip shows, it is being distorted by the Media.

Or punked by someone who is posting a fake picture supposedly from NASCAR … or punked by someone who is passing off the looped pull rope shown when Paul Menard was assigned to that stall last fall. I think we need the verification of an FBI photo on this one. Photos are too easy to fake on-line.

This is giving NASCAR billions of dollars in free promotions. The Pres/CEO seems to be doing all he can to ride this out for PR to help get rid of the “NASCAR is racist meme”.

But is that an FBI photo …
Almost certainly not. It’s definitely not the original pull rope.

That is now my question. FBI says it’s the pull rope that has been there since 2019. That rope is in many pictures and video. We know what it looks like. This picture looks nothing like that pull rope so one of these things is not correct.

I gave NASCAR’s website a look and I can’t find a picture there of it and it doesn’t seem to be linked to any official NASCAR account.
A hoax within a hoax?
Oh now we are at the point where nascar is lying. Omg…

Note that noose is not shown against anything, like a person nearby, that would give any hint as to its size.
Normally, unless you didn’t want the size known from the photo, I would think that you would do that.

The rope is also heavier. In the earlier photos (with the Menard car in the open doorway) the “rope” was a chord that was small enough that it hung with kinks instead of straight, as this one appears.

Someone is playing games with photos and alleging that they are “the noose.” Clearly the photos are of two different ropes with two differently tied knots.

What’s the hoax?
I wouldn’t know if the photo was a hoax. Who released the photo, specifically, and what did they say it was a photo of?
Source?
ooohh. lets focus in on the intricacies of knots!
thats how you know if its racist or not
OK, I checked all the NASCAR crap (don’t make me do that again
) and it states the sanctioning body released the photo.

However, IMHO what they released does not correspond with what the FBI stated. That photo does not show the rope that was there in 2019.
