I haven't seen the knot. However, I can definitely think of a scenario where a crew member last year tied a rope for a specific purpose but made the end look like a "noose" for shits and giggles. The knot gets left in place and is found by a different crew that is much more sensitive to the appearance of a noose.
It just strikes me as odd that if this type of knot is so common/useful that these guys who grew up in garages would have seen one before and be so surprised that the FBI was called.
Right. I don't think a perfectly ordinary knot would draw so much attention from experienced crew members. Again, NASCAR made it clear that it was a noose. It was just a noose that had been there since October so it wasn't directed at Wallace.
