Carpenters and Lloyds welcome new arrivals

The IndyCar Series paddock expanded the past two days with the births of Ryder Everette Carpenter (8 pounds, 1 ounce) to Ed and Heather Carpenter on June 1 and Bethany Amelia Lloyd (6 pounds, 12 ounces) to Alex and Samantha Lloyd on June 2. All are doing well. The newborns have siblings born four days apart (Ava Lloyd on Oct. 5, 2007, and Makenna Carpenter born Oct. 9). When Heather Carpenter was admitted to the hospital, she was taken to the same birthing room in which Samantha Lloyd delivered. It was the same nursing staff, too. See photos on IndyCar.com
