Jeff Gordon announced today that he was firing his entire pit crew.
This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of President Obama's scheme to employ Harlem youngsters.
The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew took 8 seconds with thousands of dollars of high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management team, as most races are won or lost in the pits.
However, Gordon got more than he bargained for. At the crews first practice, not only was the inexperienced crew able to change all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds, they changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold the car to Dale Earnhardt Jr. for ten cases of Budweiser, a bag of weed, and some photos of Gordon's wife in the shower.
