Chad & I are excited to share that we’ll be welcoming a baby boy in August! Much like my belly, our bookshelf is rapidly growing.

Chad Knaus, a seven-time champion as crew chief for Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 Chevrolet team, and Brooke married in August 2015. This will be the couple’s first child.

Given Knaus’ well-earned reputation for preparedness in the garage, we imagine Brooke’s hospital bag is already packed.
