David Rogers, a tire carrier for Daytona 500 champion Dale Earnhardt, arrived a little late for the race on Sunday, but he had a good excuse. Rogers’ wife, Beth, delivered an 8-pound, 5-ounce daughter named Cassidy LeeAnn at 9:17 a.m. in Forsyth County, N.C. Rogers was in North Carolina for the birth, two hours, 50 minutes before the green flag dropped on the Daytona 500, and still made it back in time for Earnhardt’s first pitstop on lap 58 of the 200-lap event.(ESPN) WOW! Congrats David! (2-16-98)
