Larson to be a dad:
#42-Kyle Larson, met with members of the media at Michigan International Speedway and discussed many topics, including:
Q) ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR PROGRESS THUS FAR THIS SEASON? YOU ARE TOP 10 IN POINTS, THINGS SEEM TO BE GOING WELL FOR YOU:
Larson: “Yeah, it’s all going really good so far. Top 10 in points; we have been a top 10 car every week pretty much. It really is fun I’m having a blast this year. A lot of stuff going on, me and Katelyn (Sweet, girlfriend) just found out we are having a baby so it’s a really exciting time. How good the racing has been going, a new house, all that and now that so it’s been a lot of fun.”
Q) WHEN IS THE BABY DUE?
Larson: “It was December 29th the first time she went then it was Christmas now it is kind of back to December 29th. Christmas sounds cool so I will go with Christmas.”(Team Chevy)(6-13-2014)
Newman has to make alternate plans to get to MIS:
#31-Ryan Newman thought he had a flight to Michigan arranged for Friday morning. There was only one problem: The Sprint Cup driver planning on letting him hitch a ride left him at the airport. That driver? #88-Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt tweeted Friday morning that he forgot that he had told Newman he could fly on his plane to Michigan. By 9:45, there had been no word on whether Newman had found another flight. Sprint Cup Series practice at Michigan International Speedway was scheduled for 11:00am/et. Newman’s wife, Krissie, then responded that her husband had caught on flight on Dale Jarrett’s plane.(Sporting News)(6-13-2014)
I know this is going to be so old fashioned of me - but people don’t get married anymore it seems until the “baby is on the way.”
we have made it too acceptable to not have commitment and stability before dragging a little one into the mess.
