Green Receives Monies for Two Chickens from Petty

As a reward for a better-than expected run during early year testing, driver Jeff Green was presented with “double chicken money” from his employer, Nascar legend Richard Petty.
“Normally I get money that would afford me to purchase ONE chicken, but we were so dialed in, I’ll be able to procure TWO chickens, rather than one!”, a grateful Green explained. “This bonus allows me to eat twice as much that I usually would, thus providing me with positive reinforcement.”
The payment, equal to $5.51 multiplied by two (or $10.02), is not often doled out by the demanding Petty. The so-called King of Nascar only uses the “double chicken money” as the highest reward for his drivers.
“Jeff’s had a great run here at Daytona—we’ve finally found an engine”, an ebullient Petty explained. “We have a legitimate shot to crack the top 10 in one of the Dual races, which would put us in the hunt for a top 20 in the 500.”
When informed that typical Nascar driver bonuses are in excess of $10,000, a crestfallen Green replied “I know—believe me, I know.”
