Add Juan Pablo Montoya to the list of expectant fathers who race in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series.

Montoya announced on his Twitter page Saturday that he has his wife Connie are expecting their third child.

“By the way the wife is pregnant with our third child!!! Very happy about it!!!!”

The 34 year old Colombian born former Formula One star and currently driver at Earnhardt-Ganassi racing said the baby is due in July.

The former Connie Freydell met her future husband while asking for his autograph in Miami. Both were involved with others when they met, but reconnected five months later and were married in 2002.

The newest addition will have a brother and sister already in place with Sebastian, 5, and Paulina, 3.

The Montoya’s join several other NASCAR Sprint Cup Series couples that are expecting in 2010. Carl Edwards and his wife Kate are expecting their first child in February, Elliott Sadler and wife Amanda are expecting their first in March and four time champion Jimmie Johnson and wife Chandra will welcome their first child in July as well.
