NASCAR fans are having fun with Chad Norris, the new crew chief for Carl Edwards, for Norris' similar-sounding name to action star Chuck Norris by coming up with the hashtag #ChadNorrisFacts on Twitter.

Carl Edwards is struggling to start the 2012 NASCAR season, prompting the race car driver to replace crew chief Bob Osborne with Chad Norris, USA Today reported.

I have had the pleasure of working with Carl Edwards for the past nine years and, during that time, my focus has been building a championship-caliber program, Osborne said in a statement. I'm proud of the 18 wins we've had together in Sprint Cup Series competition and our two second-place points finishes.

Norris is not related to Walker, Texas Ranger star and Internet phenomenon Chuck Norris, whose eponymous Chuck Norris facts (for example, Chuck Norris doesn't mow his lawn. He just stands there and dares the grass to grow) is popular on the web.

This has led Twitter to go wild with creativity Tuesday using the hashtag #ChadNorrisFacts about Carl Edwards' new crew chief.
