Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon announced yesterday that a baby boy is on the way.

Gordon and his wife Ingrid have a little girl, Ella, who will be three years old in June.

The couple reportedly only want two children and were hoping for one of each.

There has been a recent baby boom in the NASCAR world that began when Matt Kenseth's little girl arrived, and more recently when Elliott Sadler and Carl Edwards celebrated the birth of their first children, a boy and a girl, respectively. Now Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson and Juan Pablo Montoya are expecting children this summer.
