This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of the
government's scheme to employ some 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 six seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing
crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars worth of high tech
equipment. It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Jeff Gordon's
management team as most races are won or lost in the pits.
However-Gordon got more than he bargained for! At the crew's first
practice session, not only was the inexperienced crew able to change all 4
wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had resprayed,
rebadged and sold the car to DEI for ten cases of Bud, a bag of weed,
and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.
