Bubba Wallace is about to become a father for the first time. The renowned NASCAR Cup Series driver, who is also the only African-American racer in the series, married his longtime girlfriend on New Year’s Eve in 2023. Now, over a year after the special day, the couple joyfully announced that they are expecting their first child. The baby is due to arrive in October of this year.
To share the exciting news with their fans, the couple did a special photo shoot and posted the images on Instagram. In the photos, they can be seen hugging and sitting in a van with an ultrasound image of the baby. Bubba Wallace’s dog, Asher, also made an appearance in one of the photos.
With Baby Wallace on the horizon, the Toyota driver is hoping for more consistency and productivity on the race track in the 2024 season. Although he has performed well so far, he has yet to secure a victory. The imminent arrival of his child will surely provide the needed motivation he needs.
Bubba Wallace took to social media to share the news with his followers. He posted the same images and added a funny caption. He pointed out that his birthday is on October 8th and having his baby arrive in the same week would be an interesting twist.
As Wallace prepares for this weekend’s race at Talladega, he is filled with renewed motivation and confidence. With previous wins at Dega and a reputation as one of the most skilled superspeedway drivers, he has a great chance of coming out victorious.
