Bobby gets a job working snacks at a racetrack concession, run by Jimmy Witchard, a mean, mentally handicapped boss.----!!Tropes in the Episode:* AllForNothing: At his first day at work, a customer calls Bobby from all the way at the top of the bleachers. Bobby heads upwards and gets winded pretty quickly (even resorting to climbing on all fours), but eventually makes it to the top.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Dale (Gribble)'s not the smartest guy around, but even he's appalled when he learns that Bobby was ordered by Hank to listen to Jimmy Witchard. Dale then proceeds to explain how Jimmy was kicked out of Dale's gun club because he was so stupid.
-->'''Dale''': Witchard? ''Jimmy'' Witchard? Hank, you told Bobby to listen to ''Jimmy Witchard''? He was in my gun club. People say he fried his brain one day from staring at the sun. 'Course, he couldn't have been that smart to do that in the first place. Kind of a chicken-and-egg thing...

* TakeThat: Jeff Gordon gets roasted throughout the episode: Hank and the guys see him as a SpoiledBrat who relied on his rich father to actually race, [[KiddieKid Bobby]], [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Peggy]], and [[BrainlessBeauty Luanne]] [[DamnedByAFoolsPraise are the only main characters who are fans of him]], and Gordon whinily cries "Daddy!" when he crashes after nearly ramming Hank. Justified, given Gordon was unpopular among southern fans at the time.

* WouldHurtAChild: Jimmy doesn't seem to have any concern for Bobby's safety as he demands he run across a busy race track to bring him a soda. He tells the boy to "dodge the cars" when Bobby asks him if that's really such a good idea. Given how eager Jimmy's previous hire was all to eager to quit when Bobby joined on, it's heavily implied that he's done this, or attempted to, before.
