Bubba Wallace’s wife, Amanda Wallace, posted a late post on her Instagram account recapping her husband’s 2025 Daytona 500 win in the first of two qualifying races. The post, which was a series of three pictures, featured the couple on the Daytona International Speedway along with their new baby, son Becks Hayden.
Amanda, who regularly posts on the social media platform, gives NASCAR fans an inside look into their lives and her husband’s racing career highlights. She is often seen pit-side supporting the 23XI Racing driver.

For Amanda, who had been a regular at the NASCAR races even before she married Wallace, this year’s Daytona 500 was extra special as she had her newborn son with her to witness his father’s victory.
Offering fans her perspective of “The Great American Race,” Amanda Wallace said via the post, “Better late than never, another 500 in the books! Becks somehow fell asleep in dads arms through the chaos.”
Bubba and Amanda Wallace welcomed Becks in September 2024. Baby Becks was spotted sporting a fries t-shirt at the race, a nod to Wallace’s new sponsor, McDonald’s.

Bubba and Amanda first met in high school and began dating in 2016. Talking about their relationship in an interview with People Magazine, Amanda said, “We were in Spanish class in high school, and we sat near each other. I don’t remember first meeting, but he would always try to cheat.
“We were friends. There was three or four of us that did all of our projects together and he always would try to cheat off my exams because I was much smarter than he was.”
The 31-year-old Wallace, driving the No. 23 Toyota for 23XI Racing, led the final three laps at Daytona International Speedway. He went on to claim the opening Daytona 500 Duel qualifying race courtesy of a push from teammate Tyler Reddick. Wallace went on to finish 29th in The Great American Race, with William Byron claiming the victory.
