A BABY GIRL FOR BENNY

Australian Drag Racer Ben Bray, best known for high speed trip down a quarter mile drag strip, has a new addition to his family.

His long time partner Samantha Griffiths gave birth on Tuesday to a daughter at a Redcliffe hospital.

It is the second child for Ben and Sam. The couple announced the new baby's name, Dakoda Jade.

Both Mum and daughter, (who weighed in at 7 pounds 8 ozs) are doing fine and the family is "extremely happy."

Ben will be back at work on Friday as part of the on-course entertainment at the SKYCITY Triple Crown V8 Supercar round at Hidden Valley Raceway.
