What a guy!
Four-time Nascar champ Jeff Gordon says he would take a pay cut to help his Hendrick Motorsport team survive the current economic crisis. Jeff, you’re our new hero (and not just because your wife is insanely hot).
“It’s tough times, it’s something to be very serious about,” Gordon said.
“I’ll do whatever it takes for us to have the best team we can possibly have. If that means take part of my salary to keep certain people on, or to hire certain people, I’ll do it.
“If me and Rick (Hendrick) sit down and talk about the position that we’re in - obviously I’m not the only one - but I would be open to it. I never got into this to make millions of dollars.”
As far as we’re aware, Gordon is the first star driver in any top motorsport series to make such an offer. Could you imagine any F1 drivers making a similar offer?
