“Welcome to the family! We are all obsessed,” she wrote about their third child after Owen, 8, and Audrey, 4.

Larson previously shared that the part he enjoys the most about being a father is getting up to feed his baby long after everyone else has gone to bed.

Last month, Shifting Gears reported that the Asian American NASCAR driver has been cutting back on off-season races to prepare for his son’s birth and to spend time with his family.

While he may not have several plans for the off-season, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion mentioned that he has an upcoming dirt late model event in New Mexico this month.

Larson is also scheduled to race at the Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum. The annual pre-season NASCAR Cup Series exhibition event will be held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Feb. 5.
