Richard Petty is now completely dead to me. I simply can't believe he'd bite on this stupidity.

Though I was never a big fan of the man, remember when Tiger Woods won the Masters and Fuzzy Zoeller (a good friend) threw a green jacket on him and then joked Tiger would be having the dining room serving fried chicken going forward? Woods to his credit quickly shutdown the outrage media before they could even get going on that one. If 'Bubba' wasn't such an illiterate attention whore, that's the way he'd have handled this issue. Unfortunately, Bubba couldn't even live up to the bar set by Tiger Woods.

I suppose NASCAR made the correct decision, by calling the feebs right away, because I'm positive they'd have been accused of a cover-up, if they would have exposed this hoax themselves.

Still, I guess we can expect NASCAR to announce sweeping, ass kissing changes with regards to diversity. After all, we don't want to offend those minorities who have never attended a NASCAR race, or even watched one on TV, do we.

I've been thinking after this event and threads here and on other forums about the statues coming down. Which amendment to the Constitution guarantees your right to NOT be offended?

I've been pointing that out to people for years and most of them just can't grasp the idea because they have been so brainwashed.

It seems everyday now some stupid hollywood 'entertainer' is apologizing for a decades past event that is now "racist".

I'm not a woke entertainer but here's mine: I'm sorry I was born White but I had no control over my heritage.

A perfect example, the dixie chicks have changed their name. If they thought it was offensive why didn't they change it under obama? Hypocrites.

Dont the injures look more like abrasions? the reason she says she didnt report is was because she was high on pain pills.Bet thats what caused a face plant.

I suspect there will be a lot more wasted LE manpower to investigate fake hate crimes. And people who initially read the media reports will never followup to determine authenticity.

And her hair wasn’t burned off...A little bit???......hmmmm.

I can’t light my grill w/o burning hair on my hands...

They don't look like third degree burns to me.

If she was driving, why are the burns on the right side of her face, and not the left side next to the driver's window? Was she attacked thru the passenger side window? Strange.

CTH has done a good job on the Nascar fiasco

Richard Petty may not be looking too good

w link to a story from Sept 2019:

New York Sports – […] “When we bought RPM, Richard had a similar objective and focus as I did which was to improve performance and bring diversity to the sport,” said Murstein, RPM’s Co-Owner. “I remember at the press conference I made that objective clear. It’s a major major sport but the athletes and the fan base were not as diverse as other sports.

I wanted to focus on changing the image of NASCAR and give everyone the same opportunity to succeed.”

[…] “To me, it was way overdue,” said Murstein. “The more that I heard about that the more determined Richard and I were, and we wanted to make a shift, so to speak, to a higher gear in the sport. We wanted to also expand the fan base, and show that anyone could excel in NASCAR regardless of his or her skin color.”

[…] The fact that Murstein is dedicated to diversity is not something new because it’s also been a mission for him with Medallion Financial, a company that was exclusively lending money to women and minority owned companies since the 1980’s when he joined the family business until its IPO in the 1990’s. Upon his arrival, Murstein focused on successfully diversifying the Company and tried to find other niches in terms of lending money to minorities that were overlooked by banks.

[…] About the time the Company was going public, Murstein approached former New York Governor Mario Cuomo about joining the company’s Board of Directors. Cuomo thought about it for six months or so and then after seeing a story about Medallion and it’s diversified lending in the Wall Street Journal, he called Murstein to give him the good news that he was coming on board.

[…] With Cuomo, a Democratic, joining the Board of Directors, Murstein added some political balance

Osundairo brothers resume cooperation in Smollett prosecution one day after refusing to help

Abel and Ola Osundairo’s attorney said in a statement Thursday that her clients would resume cooperating because of an “intervention” by special prosecutor Dan Webb that led to the retrieval of a lost 9 mm handgun.

Less than a day after saying they would no longer cooperate with Cook County prosecutors, two central figures in the Jussie Smollett saga are back on board, their attorney said Thursday.

Gloria Schmidt Rodriguez, the lawyer for Abel and Ola Osundairo, said in a statement Thursday that the brothers would resume cooperating because of an “intervention” by special prosecutor Dan Webb. A representative for Webb’s law firm, Winston & Strawn, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Wednesday, the Osundairos backed away from their cooperation in the case after the Chicago Police Department was unable to find and return a gun that was confiscated from the Osundairos’ home in February 2019. At the time, the brothers were viewed as suspects, but have since turned into witnesses for Webb.

Abel Osundairo had told CBS 2 Chicago that he and his brother would not willingly testify in the case against the former “Empire” actor because items collected during a police search of their apartment, including a 9mm gun inside a safe, hadn’t been returned.

“I would understand if we were defendants in the case, which we are not,” Abel Osundiaro told CBS 2 hours before Schmidt Rodriguez issued her statement.

Abel Osundairo said he is a licensed gun owner and that many of the things confiscated by police belong to his brother and other relatives.

“Due to the intervention of Special Prosecutor Dan Webb and his team, earlier today we were informed that a properly registered 9mm handgun that was missing from a locked safe seized by the Chicago Police Department on February 14, 2019, has been located,” Schmidt Rodriguez said in her statement. “Abel and Ola will recommence their cooperation in the Smollett case now that the handgun has been produced by the Special Prosecutor’s office.”

Earlier this month, Judge James Linn ruled the latest criminal case against Smollett did not constitute double jeopardy. Linn said Smollett’s previous case never led to an admission of guilt and the actor was never punished, so the new charges would not violate his right against double jeopardy.

Smollett was accused of making a false report to Chicago police and was indicted in March 2019 on 16 counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly lying about being attacked in a hate crime. Weeks later, the state’s attorney’s office abruptly dropped the charges, sparking outrage and confusion. Nearly a year later — in February — Smollett was indicted again by Webb, who has criticized State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s decision to dismiss the initial charges.
