GREENWICH, CT — Two Greenwich Police officers may soon be changing tires for NASCAR, at least that's what a post on the Greenwich Police Silver Shield Association Facebook page jokingly stated after officers Pat O'Connor and Siuyan Su Ah Sor aided a driver in town with a flat tire on a particularly cold day.

According to the post, the officers sprung into action after a vehicle with a flat pulled up while they were working a traffic job.

"Officer Pat changed into his dirty mechanic gear and went to work with his partner," the post reads. "The all-star pit crew had the tire changed in record time. Rumor has it that NASCAR offered them a contract."
