Jacques and Johanna Villeneuve
Congratulations to Canadian racecar driver Jacques Villeneuve and new bride Johanna, who gave birth to a boy on Tuesday and have reportedly named him Jules. The couple is adjusting to their new family life together while Jacques finishes up the recording of an acoustic rock album. The first single, "Accepterais-tu?," is available on iTunes. Reportedly, the former Formula One and CART champ will not return to F1 and is one of many top drivers from other series still contemplating a move to NASCAR in 2007, but a solid deal has not yet materialized.

Johnson has his best chance to capture the elusive Cup
Quoting this...
Chandra Johnson on Jimmie: "He seems not as worried. He was worried, he was affected if something bad happened and this year he's just said, 'Whatever happens, happens.' It wasn't going to help him to sulk. He's had great seasons regardless, and he's just brushed it off. That's very indicative of his personality -- to not let it get to him." [The Miami Herald - Nov. 17, 2006]
Katie Kenseth on the #48 team: "'If they don't win the championship, I would have to call myself a liar if I said I didn't feel bad for them. There's nobody more deserving, that's probably where (Matt's) feeling bad comes from."
