    The incident involving Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney and has outraged — and also amused — people in the town nicknamed Race City USA after its long history with NASCAR.

    “The episode occurred in 2024 but is now bubbling up on multiple fronts,” The Journal reported. “Three former town employees are suing Mooresville officials, alleging retaliation for their efforts to preserve the footage or investigate. Town commissioners passed a no-confidence vote this month urging Carney to quit. And a judge last week ordered the town to release video of the incident, a move the town forestalled by appealing Wednesday.”


    I couldn’t find the video footage. Can someone link it?

          Well there was the noose thing in the black guy’s garage that time.

          NASCAR not Race City isn’t the relief, but I might have missed the sarcasm too.

      Sounds like it hasn’t been released yet on account of that appeal by the town.
