Hey ...did Alex Lloyd's wife ever have that kid?
One of the gutsiest and most dedicated women I can think of was in Lloyd's pit. Her hubs starts the race, and she tells ABC not only is she due that day, but the contractions were starting. Midway through the race, she says they were getting closer down to 10 minutes...idle curiousity, did she make the end of the race?
Good on her for hanging in there to support her guy like that. I told my wife about that and she figured the woman is nuts...of course having the kid in pitlane would have been a story eh?"Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

I'd read somewhere that the infield care center had told here they were prepared for her to give birth right there. Apparently an inquiry had been made about the feasibility of the use of a helicopter to get her to a hospital if needed, when they care center folks offered up their services. I wish I could remember where I read that story.

Still...for all we know she still is labor!!!
ABC would have loved it if the water broke in the pits and the kid was born right at the track. With their sense of BS and melodrama, we might even get a 10 minute break without mention of Danica Patrick. Of course, ABC/ESPN will cover Danica's pregnancy if she ever has one...probably hire new play by play people for it....
I used to think I disliked Danica....it hits me though, it is ABC/ESPN has driven me to it...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

She had the baby, but it was after the race - not at the track. Too bad for the kid; that would be one heck of a story to tell while growing up.
