On September 20, Amanda Wallace shared a sweet message for her husband Bubba Wallace via an Instagram story, as he prepares for the third playoff race this weekend at Bristol.
Bubba and Amanda Wallace married in 2022 after being together for seven years. They are expecting their first child next month. Amanda is a graduate of Appalachian State University and worked at Bank of America for five years as a financial analyst and then as a vice president.
She recently posted an Instagram story, resharing a post of Bubba in his racing gear before this week's race at the 0.5-mile Bristol Motor Speedway. In the caption, she wrote:
"My sexy husband"
Here's a look at Amanda's story:
Wallace failed to qualify for the playoffs this season, marking his first time missing the postseason since joining 23XI Racing. The 30-year-old driver is currently ranked 19th overall. He has two Cup Series victories at Talladega Superspeedway and Kansas Speedway, along with five top-five and ten top-ten finishes in 28 races. He also won six races in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Wallace expressed excitement about the upcoming Bass Pro Shops Night Race and shared a post with the caption,
"It’s Bristol baby"
Bubba is in his seventh season competing in the Cup Series. He currently drives the No. 23 Toyota for 23XI Racing, having previously driven for Richard Petty Motorsports. He recently extended his contract with the team co-owned by NBA star Michael Jordan and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin for multiple years.
"She loves it, she thinks it's the coolest thing ever," -Bubba on expecting his first child with Amanda Wallace
A few weeks back, Bubba Wallace talked about how calm he is about becoming a father. In Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Dirty Mo Media podcast released on August 28, Bubba mentioned that Amanda is excited but also facing some challenges during her pregnancy.
"I've been super calm, cool, and collected about it, right? Amanda, she's been going through the ups and downs and just the excitement of motherhood for her—feeling the baby kick and all the things you said. She loves it; she thinks it's the coolest thing ever," said Bubba.
He added that he finds it amazing how she has mostly gained weight in her belly and said that he was enjoying the experience.
"We're both enjoying the process. She's grown; she's strictly belly, hasn’t put on any other weight anywhere else. It’s crazy. She says that might change in the last couple of weeks, but it's been awesome to see her grow and enjoy the whole process. Every time I'm around with her, she's like, 'Oh, he's kicking,'" Bubba added.
Amanda Wallace is expecting a baby boy right around Bubba's birthday on October 8.
