Nascar champ Jeff Gordon, 35, is revving up the baby carriage: The racer’s wife of one month, model Ingrid Vandebosch, 36, is three months along with the couple's first child.

The new bride tells Us they were already trying for a baby before their November 7 vows. “We found out about the pregnancy the week before we left for Mexico for the wedding. I'm so excited!” says the mom-to-be.

She’s not the only one: Gordon’s mother, Carol Bickford, tells Us she’d been rooting for a grandchild for ages. “I’m thrilled to death,” she says. “I put in my request for this a long time ago.”

When Gordon split with his first wife, Brooke Sealey, in 2002 after seven years of marriage, Bickford says, "I never thought it would happen."

Two years later, the driver began dating Vandebosch following an introduction by mutual friends. "I think it just took meeting the right woman," his mom says of her son's new focus on family.

For the time being, the four-time Nascar winner will make their baby a home on the road, setting up a nursery on the bus the couple take to races. "It's huge," Vandebosch says. "But we're building a new one -- with a crib!"

"We'd like the baby to speak another language, probably French," days Vandebosch, whose parents speak the language and Flemish. "We're looking into French schools in New York."

Hello Jeff, man what were you and that crew Chief thinking? by now you and him should know or noticed that you run BETTER on the BOTTOM, everytime you go hi, you loose track positions... why your Crew Chief can not see that? and for God dake, why would you go back to PIT ROAD when you just got off pit road and had the lead???????????WHY????????? Jeff you need to take chances, not all the time, but some of the times, stop being so nice and let everyone bully you into giving up your position!! Hold your grounds, and let them stay out side. don't back down to anyone...Stay up font and out of trouble!!!!!!!!!your not the kind of drive that like the back or middle, you run better up font and on the bottom....You still have time, we can do this... i wish i could be there to give you some support, but all i can do is shout at my TV, and hope we don't loose Signal, i did not get to see the end of the race last week, because we changed course...Anytime the ship turn around, we loose connections...But iwas with you up until you went back to pit road...:-(

I'm not a Jeff Gordon fan either. I have been a huge fan of Jimmy Johnson's since he raced trucks. Whether he is gay or not is not for me to say and I dont listen to "opinions" of people who dont even know him. I think his baby is adorable and I want to congratulate them both and thank you for sharing pictures of Ella. I hope you have many years of joy and winnings.

i am not a jeff gordon fan but by no means wish him ill will. most likely the ones that say he is gay are not real sure of their own sexuality. anyway, congrats on your wonderful new angel jeff and ingrid. i am sure she is beautiful-she can't help but be. good luck and just enjoy life with your new little one.

A comment for all the people that can't form an opinion on their own.... If a Babe Ruth fan told you that Hank Aaron was a cross dresser, would you believe it? I have a bridge to sell you. Anyone that would suggest that Jeff is anything but straight must be a male race fan... hoping that deep down the rest of the world does what they do in the closet.

Not a Jeff Gordon fan, but I do have respect for him that he is a good driver. Congrats Jeff and Ingrid. God Bless your new child.

5:21 PM LA Says:

Whoever thinks he's gay, doesn't know what they are talking about. Just cause someone talks weird doesn't mean they are gay. He's a heck of a driver.

12:31 PM Laura Says:
Hurry February, looking forward to the 2007 season and Jeff's winning ways. Congratulations Jeff and Ingrid. God Bless you and keep you going.
