Later this year, Hendrick Motorsports driver Kasey Kahne will become the newest member of the NASCAR father's club.
According to a report on ESPN.com, Kahne's girlfriend, Sam Sheets, is expecting a boy on Oct. 10. It will be the couple's first child.
"It's something that's been on my mind for a long time. I'm really excited to have this type of life-changing experience, and I can't wait to be the best dad I can possibly be," Kahne told ESPN.com.
The NASCAR garage has seen something of a baby boom in the last 12 months, with Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski becoming first-time fathers last month. Kyle Larson had his first child born last December, two months after Clint Bowyer became a first-time father. Earlier this month, Trevor Bayne announced his wife was pregnant, too.
