Jeff Gordon Regrets Firing of Pit Crew

Raleigh NC:  Jeff Gordon announced a couple weeks back that he was firing his entire pit crew.

The big surprise came in the wake of President Obama's general NASCAR outreach, in particular a federal scheme to employ disadvantaged inner-city youth.


What sealed the deal was a recent study that showed how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds -and without proper equipment- whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds, and this with thousands of dollars’ worth of the latest high-tech power tools. 

Initially thought to be an innovative and bold move by Gordon's management team -as many races are won or lost in the pits- Gordon got more than he bargained for: at the crew's first practice session, not only were the inexperienced hoodies able to switch all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 9 seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold the car to Dale Earnhardt Jr. for 10 cases of beer,
a bag of weed, and some photos of Gordon's wife in the shower...

Yeah, I know.

“...VIN number...” is as stupid as “ATM machine” and “PIN number”.

Why not?

Because Venturer said so and he expects his wishes to be acceded to...what more reason do you need and who are you to question him?

They haven't been to Harlem in a while have they? The urban culture has been pushed out and is now full of a bunch of greeny, neo-hippie artists with shops selling renewable furniture. Unemployed youths from Harlem now would just stand there and complain the car wasn't green and swap it for a Pious.

LOL.

Yeah, I am sure there are a lot of people who feel that way.

Keeps me awake nights.

The joke is funny I am surprised it comes from Reaganite Republicans because it is also racist, Not that I am against that, just wonder about the wisdom of it.

And of those who say I don’t belong here.
