LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire woman and her baby are doing fine after the woman gave birth in theNew Hampshire Motor Speedway parking lot.
Shawna Arnold began going into labor Friday and she and her boyfriend began driving to a hospital. But when she realized she was about to give birth on the way, they made a pit stop at the racetrack parking lot in Loudon.
Arnold tells WMUR-TV that she and her boyfriend delivered the baby, named Katie, in their car. An EMT at the track then came to help, and the couple and the baby were taken to a hospital.
Speedway General Manager Jerry Gappens has awarded the baby two tickets to NASCAR races for the rest of her life.

Dropped the camper off Saturday @ Loudon, before leaving the track, we stopped in @ the Speedway Gift shop/Main Office, and the place was all abuzz about the story. Pretty neat.
 
A very sad ending to this story. I had heard this yesterday afternoon on Moody's show.

Baby born at NHMS has died at three weeks old: Police say a baby girl born at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last month when her mother went into labor before she could reach the hospital has died. Katie Anne Hebert was just three weeks old. Laconia Police Capt. Matt Canfield said the child was pronounced dead early Monday at Lakes Region General Hospital, where she was taken by ambulance after she was found not breathing at home. Canfield said police and emergency personnel responded to a call around 11:45 p.m. Sunday to the apartment where Katie lived with her mother. Resuscitation efforts in the ambulance and at the hospital were not successful, and the child was pronounced dead at the hospital. "We are investigating as we would any untimely death, especially a child. However, we do not have reason to believe anything suspicious about it," Canfield said. Results showed nothing abnormal or suspicious, and the cause of death remained unclear, Canfield said. Toxicology tests were also performed and could take up to six to eight weeks to process. The baby made headlines when she was born at the race track in Loudon on Sept. 14 as her parents were en route to Concord Hospital.
