Petty Enterprises Hires Bobby Labonte

Kyle Petty, CEO of Petty Enterprises, estatically introduced Bobby Labonte as the new driver of the #43 Dodge at a press conference earlier today.
"Bobby is a champion driver. Pairing him with a champion sponsor like General Mills is a no-brainer", Petty exclaimed. "Bobby is the guy who's going to take Petty Enterprises to the promised land--Double Chicken Money!"
The surprising chain of events were set in motion once Mike "Miss" Bliss was fired from Haas Motorsports. That ride was filled by Petty's own Jeff Green. Once it became known that Labonte was unhappy with his performance at Joe Gibbs Racing, Petty made the annoucement.
"Gibbs is a top-flight organization, that's for sure, but we feel that Petty Enterprises has some pretty neat perks of its own." Petty explained. "For instance, Bobby will get a 10% off coupon at all local Red Wing Shoes Dealers. Additionally, Bobby gets his own shelf in the garage refridgerator. And as far as I'm concered, my desk is Bobby's desk, whenever he needs it."
It remains what input, if any, Labonte has had in the move, as he was not present at the press conference, nor has he indicated if he has accepted the Petty offer. For his part, Labonte was unavailable for comment, as he was participating in medical tests for GlaxoSmithKline.
