Here is a photo of the five-month-old enjoying his new gift from @EarnhardtKelley. 

Dad, Regan Smith will start today’s XFINITY Series’ Lakes Region 200 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway from eighth on the starting grid. 

He has one NASCAR Sprint Cup win in 2011 and four Xfinity Series wins (1 each in 2012 & 2014 and 2 in 2013)

Scarlett Joins Dad in Kentucky #NASCAR XFINITY Victory Lane

On Friday night, Brad Keselowski welcomed daughter Scarlett to the NASCAR world following his win in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Kentucky 300.


Daughter Scarlett made her debut in the arms of mom Paige White, and the moment was a bit much for Keselowski, who earned a Crosley jukebox for his 32nd career XFINITY win which put him clear of NASCAR Hall of Famer Jack Ingram for sole possession of fifth on the all-time list.

A first time winner here @KySpeedway as @keselowski @epaigewhite introduce little Scarlett to Victory Lane. #NASCAR pic.twitter.com/6wUjpVgxgL
