One day after helping his driver, #2-Brad Keselowski, earn the pole for Sunday’s The Profit on CNBC 500 with a record-setting performance, crew chief Paul Wolfe will not be atop Keselowski’s pit box for the race itself. Wolfe flew back on Keselowski’s jet to his North Carolina home early Saturday to be with wife Aleia for the birth of the couple’s first child. Keselowski tweeted Saturday morning, ‘Gonna miss having my crew chief Paul Wolfe this Sunday. Best wishes to him and his wife Aleah on the pending birth of their first child.’ It’s expected that Brian Wilson, team engineer for Keselowski’s #2 Ford Fusion, will split crew chief duties with Greg Erwin in Sunday’s race.(NBC Sports)(3-1-2014)
UPDATE: Congrats to Paul and Aleia Wolfe on the birth of Caden Paul Wolfe, 7 pounds, 10 ounces. Caden was born early Sunday morning.
