The Charlotte Observer asked 20 questions of NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson, including one about his and wife Chani's plans to become parental units:
Do you and Chandra want to be parents?
Quoting this...
JJ: "Certainly. It was funny, we were on vacation. Jeff (Gordon) was down in St. Bart's as well with his wife Ingrid (Vandebosch). His lifestyle has changed a lot now that she's pregnant. We had four different friends down there, all with kids -- the oldest being 2 or 3. Just mobile and on a tear. And we're watching our friends chase their kids and worry about bottles and we looked at each other and said, `You know what? Maybe we should just hold off for a while.'"

Gordon: "There's no way it's not going to change my life, not just the responsibilities that come along with it, but knowing there's something that has a part of you in it. That's something I really look forward to being a part of. So in that way, yes, it will change my schedule and a lot of things. I'm going to have to adjust, and if anything takes away from racing, it's that adjustment, not because now all of a sudden I've lost that edge or I've lost every bit of that aggressiveness."
