Jeff  and IngridEarlier today, Jeff Gordon and Ingrid Vandebosch welcomed a new daughter into the world. Ella Sofia Gordon was born at 9:09 a.m., weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce and was 20 inches long.

“It’s been an absolutely incredible experience,” Gordon said. “Ingrid came through amazingly and we’re both really happy and overjoyed. We can’t wait to get home and start our lives together as a family.”

The four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion will travel to Northern California later this week and is scheduled to participate in all on-track activities at Infineon Raceway, site of this weekend’s NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race.

    Who was the boner donor anyway? I’m kidding. I’m so happy he got away from that first wife of his. She was a gold diggin’,phony race queen. She appeared to treat him like crap. She walked around with his balls in her purse and let him see them once a month during their marriage. When they got divorced, she said she was entitled to everything he owned and won because she was at his side. Psycho hose piece! I didn’t see her going door to door with Big E! Brooke and Teresa should team up and start a club for women that still live off of the careers of their long gone spouses. They’re no different than Col. Parker was with Elvis.
