The street-racing gang consists of four members — Bazzo, Jibby, Minx, and Benniton, who is nicknamed Benny. [7ACV15] According to Bazzo, they usually rap about their problems. Smitty and URL have been trying to bust them for years.
Professor Farnsworth joined the gang in 3013, and the gang briefly replaced Fry, Leela, Bender, and him in the Planet Express crew while they were in the second dimension.
