"She's a massive help"- Bubba Wallace credits Amanda Wallace for helping him during his mental health struggles
In a conversation with the Associated Press last year, Bubba Wallace revealed that his wife Amanda Wallace played a "massive" role in overcoming his mental health problems.
Wallace shared an instance when his friend Ryan Blaney driver of Team Penske won his first NASCAR Cup Series Championship in 2023, the Alabama native Wallace flew home instead of celebrating the win with his friend Blaney. He also had no explanation for this behavior. Nevertheless, his wife was there to support him.
Wallace said:
“I wake up and my wife’s there. She’s like, ‘How are you feeling today?’ And it’s like, one of those days,” he said. “We keep each other on our toes. We play video games together. So she’s a massive help. And then the next thing you know, clock strikes 5 o’clock and it’s like, ‘How’s it going?” and I’m good. It just kind of blows over".
