Bubba Wallace and his wife, Amanda, marked key Bubba Wallace family milestones by heading to the beach for relaxation during the NASCAR off-season. The NASCAR Cup Series driver and Amanda, who welcomed their son Becks Hayden last September, used this break to recharge as they prepare for another addition to their family in March 2026.
Couple Shares Joy During Off-Season Getaway
Taking advantage of the racing pause, Bubba Wallace and Amanda enjoyed a peaceful beach vacation, momentarily stepping away from daily parenting duties. Their son, Becks Hayden, was born in September, and just a month later, they announced Amanda’s second pregnancy, with the arrival of a sibling expected in March 2026. Amanda provided a glimpse into their getaway through her Instagram stories, expressing how much the time together meant and their excitement to see Becks again.
“Much needed down time for Ma and Pa! Exicited to get back to our lil man we love so much. I love doing life with you [Bubba Wallace].”

The couple first got married on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2022, at the JW Marriott in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their story as a family continues to evolve as they look forward to welcoming their second child and balancing the demands of racing and parenthood.
Racing Successes Add to Family Celebrations
This year brought more than family joy for Bubba Wallace; it was also a standout period in his racing career. Wallace marked a major achievement by securing a victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, becoming the first black driver to win a crown jewel event at the track. He concluded the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season with a place in the playoffs for the first time in two years, ultimately finishing 11th overall thanks to consistent performances, including six top-five and 14 top-ten finishes. Notable moments included back-to-back third-place runs at Homestead-Miami and Martinsville, along with his first Duel race victory leading into the Daytona 500.
Looking ahead, Wallace will juggle his growing family responsibilities with the busiest periods of his career, as the new NASCAR season kicks off in mid-February at Daytona International Speedway.
Charter Settlement Provides Security for Wallace and Team
Off the race track, Bubba Wallace recently found stability to match his personal milestones when the long-standing antitrust dispute between his team, 23XI Racing, and NASCAR reached a settlement. Wallace’s relief was clear when he shared his feelings on social media:
“Monumental day.”

This resolution restored valuable racing charters for both 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, guaranteeing Wallace a secure ride in the No. 23 Toyota for the 2026 season. The charters ensure teams have guaranteed starts and critical revenue, something that had been uncertain while he and teammate Reddick competed as ‘open’ teams and had to qualify for every race.
With the implementation of new ‘evergreen’ charter agreements and increased revenue opportunities, both Wallace and the team can now focus on competition instead of off-track distractions. These changes provide not just job security but peace of mind for drivers and their families as they approach the new season.
Looking Forward to New Challenges and Family Moments
For Bubba Wallace, the balance between family and racing is entering a new phase. As he and Amanda anticipate their second child while managing the demands of an intense racing calendar, 2026 promises to be a defining year on and off the track. These combined milestones signal a period of growth and excitement for the couple, their son Becks, and all those following the Wallace family’s journey.
