Jeff Gordon fires his pit crew

Jeff Gordon fires his pit crew

The announcement followed his decision to use a government program to employ wayward youth from Harlem.

The decision to this was brought about a recent documentary about a group of youths from Harlem who could remove a set of wheels from a car in six seconds, whereas his existing pit crew could perform the same task in only eight seconds with millions of dollars of high tech equipment and plenty of training.

It was thought to be a shrewd move by the motoring press and fans, as many races are won or lost in the pits.

So at the first practice session the crew from Harlem did in fact remove all 4 wheels and tires from the car in a little less than six seconds, much to Gordon's delight. They also took another 14 seconds to change the cars paint scheme, alter the VIN number and sold the car to Dale JR. for a few cases of Budweiser a bag of weed and some pictures of Gordon's wife in the shower
