Great news!!

NASCAR's next generation is on its way, estimated arrival in July.

Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon said on Wednesday that he and new wife, Ingrid Vandebosch, are expecting their first child. It will be the first child for both.

"Christmas came early for us this year," Gordon said in a statement. "This is a very special gift for us - one that we're both looking forward to. Ingrid and I can't wait to be parents.
"We've known for a little while, but we couldn't wait any longer to share the good news with our friends and fans."

Gordon announced his engagement to the Belgian model on June 24 at Infineon Raceway, then won the race there the next day. The two were married in a private ceremony on Nov. 7 in Mexico.

The 35-year-old Gordon, NASCAR's most marketable driver, and Vandebosch have been together since 2004. They appeared in the movie "Taxi," in which the 37-year-old model played a bank robber and Gordon made an uncredited cameo appearance.

Jeff will make a great Dad and now he'll have someone shorter than him in the family! lol

Congrats to them both!

I wasn't going to write anything about the NASCAR Nextel Cup Awards banquet until I read this article and got REALLY pissed off.

Are you people SERIOUS?!?!?
Jay Mohr was insulting. Yes. And guess what genuises? It's called ROASTING.
Did you notice the drivers and NASCAR big-wigs were LAUGHING??
Why, because when you put someone on a pedestle for 9 months, you've got to laugh at yourself and how ridiculous it all is.
You would've thought he was picking on the pope.
I can't believe people could be so ignorant and ridiculous.
Oh wait....they could be Kurt Busch fans.

Have you ever heard of Dean Martin? The Frairs Club?
Good Grief!
Sarcasm is the epitome of whit and intellect. (You better go look up those big words in a dictionary)

In my opinion, Jay Mohr was the ONLY interesting thing in that whole broadcast.
The rest was white-washed, political BS and PR ass kissing.
I can't even stand to watch a speech.
The best speech in the last five years was Will Farrell pretending to be Jeff Gordon last year and even THAT ticked off some fans, who obviously have nothing else to do but bitch about the fact that Jeff wasn't there. Unlike them Jeff actually HAS a life.

And excuse me...how does Jewel get a gig playing the banquet?
She's AWFUL. NASCAR isn't a folk-music sport.
How about a country act or some rock music. But JEWEL?
Obviously she gave Dale Jr a good 'nob to seal the deal.
And I thought Sheryl Crow being on there was brutal!

Well, by the look on the NASCAR clock there's 76 days, 1 hour and 19 minutes until Daytona.
Maybe some of those whinners on the NASCAR message board will have time to get a brain transplant between now and then.

Happy Holidays folks!
Oh fuck that PC crap, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
