Smoke and Zippy continue partnership

Greg Zipadelli's first interview with Joe Gibbs Racing was over Sunday lunch at a local Cracker Barrel, where he went to discuss a crew opening on a team being built around Tony Stewart. The conversation spilled out to the front porch of the restaurant, where Zipadelli and Jimmy Makar rocked in the trademark wooden chairs for close to four hours. When Makar finally got up to leave, he had no intention of offering Zipadelli the shock specialist job he was trying to fill. [link]
