Pit stop

Awaiting first child, Zelasko's final race of '02 is Sunday

NEW YORK (AP) -- Forgive Jeanne Zelasko if she declines the offer.

The NASCAR pit reporter for FOX is due to give birth to her first child in mid-April, and Sunday's MBNA America 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway will be her last Winston Cup race of the season.

FOX prerace analyst and former crew chief Jeff Hammond has offered to deliver the child, if necessary.

Instead, Zelasko will head home to Southern California to be with husband Curt Sandoval, a TV sports reporter for the ABC affiliate in Los Angeles.

"He wants to make sure that he meets our first baby before Darrell Waltrip does," Zelasko said.
