CONCORD, N.C. – Roush Fenway Racing driver Matt Kenseth and his wife, Katie, are due to have a baby soon, Kenseth said Thursday at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

The child will be the first for the couple, though Kenseth has a son from a previous relationship. Matt Kenseth said the baby is due in about a month and a half.

“It’s been an exciting time in our life,” Kenseth said. “Obviously, it’s going to be an exciting time in our life. It’s going to be a lot different. [Son] Ross is going to be 16 on Monday, and we’ll have a baby in about a month and a half, so that’s going to be interesting.”

Kenseth said he didn’t know if the child would be a boy or a girl.

    #1 is a stick in the mud. I think this story is very newsworthy also, I just can't believe it took them this long to say anything. We almost knew from day one when Jeff's wife was pregnant. Fans are like extended family and we should have the priviledge of knowing about the blessed event.

    Those of us who are not blind have known about the little new one to be for sometime, but Matt and Katie seem to be very private people. They are certainly not obligated to discuss their family's personal news. I think both of them and Matt's son are a very nice-looking family. Certainly wish the best for them with their son and the new one, whether boy or girl.

    Yes, I knew of the baby, it was just the first story I have seen printed. I commented on the story/pic of Matt kissing Katie. I by no means want to invade their privacy. I never intended to insinuate so. I just thought the story was touching. If I by any means upset you please accept my apology. .. still4da88
