Kenseth and wife welcome new baby, will race at Martinsville

The baby watch is over for driver Matt Kenseth, as him and wife Katie welcome their third daughter to the world.

Joe Gibbs Racing announced this morning that Clara Mae Kenseth was born at 7:39pm Tuesday night, weight 8 pounds, 5 ounces.

Kenseth will spend some time at home before heading to Martinsville Speedway for this weekend’s STP 500.

Driver Sam Hornish Jr. will no longer need to be on standy for Kenseth, but he did come in handy last week when fellow Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin was unable to race due to sinus infection.
