Montoya becomes a dad for the third time

The NASCAR family continues to grow. Sprint Cup driver Juan Pablo Montoya announced Monday afternoon on Twitter that his wife Connie had given birth to their third child, daughter Manuela:

jpmontoya: Manuela was born an hour ago. Mother and baby doing great!!!

Montoya and Connie were married in October 2002. They are also the parents of a son, Sebastian, and a daughter, Paulina.


The birth is the latest in NASCAR's baby boom. Four-time and defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson and his wife Chandra welcomed their first child, daughter Genevieve Marie, on July 7. Four-time champion Jeff Gordon and his wife Ingrid are expecting their second child, a son, in August.

Jamie McMurray, Montoya's teammate at Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing, and his wife Christy are expecting their first child in December.
