Daniel Hilsabeck announced that he and his wife Aryn welcomed their daughter Lauryn Ellen on Tuesday, September 22nd.

In a post to Facebook, Hilsabeck, who drives the No. 22, shared, “Born 3 weeks early – at no coincidence on the 22nd our little girl was born!”

“We will not be racing this weekend at Brownstown as we need to care for mom & baby,” he added. “See you all at Pittsburgh.”

Hilsabeck is the latest in a string of Dirt Late Model drivers who have welcomed new children to their families. Alex Vance and his wife Brittney welcomed Ryder Powell Vance in the middle of August.

Camaron Marlar and his wife Mariah welcomed Jaycie Michelle Marlar in August as well.

Brandon Overton and his wife Heather as well as their daughter Stevie welcomed son, Rollins. Overton won a Thursday night preliminary race at Eldora Speedway during the World 100 and then left that night to be with Heather for Rollins’ birth.

Overton was not the only one to leave the World 100 on Thursday night. Justin Duty also left the track and made his way back to Oregon to be with his wife as she went in to labor to deliver their daughter.

Finally, Garrett Alberson and his wife Dani welcomed their second son, Emerson Cale Alberson earlier this month as well.

As Hilsabeck noted, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series travels to Brownstown Speedway this weekend for a doubleheader beginning on Friday, September 25th for the 5th Annual CJ Rayburn Memorial and concludes on Saturday, September 26th with the prestigious Jackson 100.

The series then heads to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway for the 38th Annual Pittsburgher, which takes place from October 2-3.

Hilsabeck is currently 15th in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points standings. He has a 355 point advantage over Brenden Smith and a 670 point advantage over Cory Lawler. It’s unclear if the series and drivers will vote to award him hardship points. The series rulebook notes, “Hardship points (one-hundred twenty-five (125) points) can be earned and continues a driver’s perfect attendance in the event of a hardship. The hardship points are only available for those drivers with perfect attendance. The peers of the driver who have perfect attendance, by a closed vote, award hardship points. In the event of a tie, the driver will be awarded the hardship points. The hardship points continue at each event thereafter until the driver returns. If a driver races at an event during a hardship event, the driver will forfeit all hardship points. If a driver who receives hardship points decides to drop from the series, he will forfeit his hardship points.”
