Aubrey Huff certainly likes to rant on….just about everything.
In the midst of his back-and-forth argument with Trevor Bauer of the Cincinnati Reds, the former San Francisco Giants star took some time to speak out about Bubba Wallace and somebody apparently leaving a noose in his garage stall over the weekend.
Huff alleged that Wallace and his crew actually found a serpentine belt instead of a noose.
He also made it clear that he was calling Wallace a liar.
He then brought up NASCAR having cameras everywhere that should’ve caught the incident.

Huff stated that he had VIP treatment into NASCAR trailers and the security is so tight that there is no way an angry fan could have gotten inside and hung a noose in Bubba’s garage.
On Tuesday, Wallace appeared on “The View” to discuss the situation and lashed out on how he was “offended” by hoax theories.
“It’s simple-minded people like that, the ones that are afraid of change, they use everything in their power to defend what they stand up for… instead of trying to listen and understand what’s going on.” Wallace said.
NASCAR released a statement:
“We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.” NASCAR said on Sunday.
Bubba Wallace is NASCAR’s only top level black driver and a very vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter.
As it turned out, Huff would be somewhat right in that nobody actually placed a noose in the garage and the FBI proved it with their investiagtion that stated the rope-noose had been in the garage since 2019.
“On Monday, fifteen FBI special agents conducted numerous interviews regarding the situation at Talladega Superspeedway. After a thorough review of the facts and evidence surrounding this event, we have concluded that no federal crime was committed.
The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week. The investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic video confirmed by NASCAR, that the noose found in garage number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019. Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.
The decision not to pursue federal charges is proper after reviewing all available facts and all applicable federal laws. We offer our thanks to NASCAR, Mr. Wallace, and everyone who cooperated with this investigation.”
