Jeez..... don't you think Jerry Gappens shoulda suggested to this couple a "racy" name for their new baby, like Louise, Ethel, Sara, Janet or Danica, lol?! And, I wonder what size bill Bruton Smith will send the couple for having the nerve to deliver on Speedway property? At least if Bruton moves one of his New Hampshire dates, it'll only "cost" him half as much!

Baby Born at New Hampshire Speedway

Sep 17, 2012

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) -- A New Hampshire woman and her baby are doing fine after the woman gave birth in the New Hampshire Motor Speedway parking lot.

Shawna Arnold began going into labor Friday and she and her boyfriend began driving to a hospital. But when she realized she was about to give birth on the way, they made a pit stop at the racetrack parking lot in Loudon.

Arnold tells a local tv station, that she and her boyfriend delivered the baby, named Katie, in their car. An EMT at the track then came to help, and the couple and the baby were taken to a hospital.

Speedway General Manager Jerry Gappens has awarded the baby two tickets to NASCAR races for the rest of her life.

Sorry Dave, but Ann and I are too old to start over with a newborn. Besides, if I were to go for free tickets, it would not be to that God forsaken track in New Hampshire.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
