“Can You Read a Tape Measure?” – Rodney Childers Publicly Shoots Down Kaulig Racing’s Star’s Job Application in Hilarious Social Prank

Sometimes, the racing world needs to take a pit stop or two to have a good laugh. Just ask Kaulig Racing’s young and promising Xfinity star driver. The young driver of the #16 team recently found himself at the center of a playful, yet uproarious prank involving none other than the legendary Kevin Harvick‘s crew chief, Rodney Childers.

Chandler Smith, who has had a standout season in the Xfinity Series, is parting ways with Kaulig Racing at the end of 2023, leaving many fans wondering about his future. Little did he know that his job search would take a detour down a humorous lane, and the joke would be on him.

Rodney Childers trolls Chandler Smith back with his witty questions

It all began when Chandler Smith decided to pull a prank on the veteran crew chief of Stewart Haas Racing‘s #4 team, Rodney Childers. Smith, who has notched one victory, eight top-five finishes, and 13 top-10 results this season, decided to post a job application for a tire specialist position at Stewart Haas Racing. It was a lighthearted jest aimed at Childers, who’s known for his expertise in the NASCAR world.

Little did Smith realize that this friendly jest would escalate quickly. Childers, possibly with a grin as wide as a race track itself, decided to fire back with all barrels blazing. He took to Twitter, sharing Smith’s application and questioning his tire-related knowledge. Childers’ tweet read, “I would like to thank @CSmithDrive for his application for the tire specialist position… Do you know how to use a tire pressure gauge? Can you read a tape measure? Thanks.”

Chandler Smith, showing he can keep pace with the banter, responded in a playful manner. He wrote, “Just trying to be in the big leagues, man! Looking forward to hearing back from you!”

The exchange between Smith and Childers showcased the camaraderie that often exists in the tight-knit NASCAR community. It’s not just about competition on the track but also about sharing a few laughs along the way. The humorous exchange immediately drew the attention of fans as they quickly jumped on the bandwagon, adding their own brand of humor to the mix.

One fan humorously noted, “I can say yes, he knows how to use a tire gauge; I’ve seen him with my own eyes 😂.” Another fan took the opportunity to hint at their own qualifications, stating, “I can use a tire pressure gauge, read a tape measure, AND I have common sense (for when you come across my resume).”

Amidst the jest, a fan from Indianapolis took it a step further, saying, “I’ll sweep the shop floors, clean the toilets, whatever it takes! The commute from Indy might be an issue, though.” One fan took the humor to the next level by offering a cheeky suggestion, “Gotta start from the ground up! Don’t forget to ask if he knows the difference between right and left tires. That trips up quite a few candidates.”

The racing community came together, united by laughter, in a display of camaraderie and humor that goes far beyond the racetrack. It’s a reminder that while the pursuit of victory is important, moments of light-hearted bantering are equally cherished.

So, can you read a tape measure? Can you use a tire pressure gauge? In the world of NASCAR, there’s always room for a good laugh. And thanks to Chandler Smith and Rodney Childers, the laughter continues to echo throughout the racing community.
