This announcement followed Jeff Gordon's decision to take advantage of
President Obama's proposal to employ Harlem youngsters by hiring them for
his pit crew.
The decision to hire the youngsters was brought about by a recent
documentary on how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set
of wheels in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas
Gordon's existing crew could only do it in eight seconds with millions of
dollars worth 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.
At the crew's first practice session, not only was the inexperienced crew
able to change all four wheels in under six seconds, but within twelve
seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold
the car to Dale Jr. for $50 cash, ten cases of Bud, a bag of weed and some
photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.
