Bubba Wallace is known for his high-speed precision, daring overtakes, and resilience under pressure. But away from the deafening roar of NASCAR engines, Wallace finds peace through an unexpected passion—photography.
While his main Instagram page boasts a massive following filled with racing highlights and behind-the-scenes action, Wallace also maintains a quiet, lesser-known account—one where he showcases his life through his own lens.
A Hidden Passion: Bubba Wallace’s Journey Behind the Camera
In a recent NASCAR Instagram post, Wallace gave fans a rare glimpse into his world beyond racing.
“What got me started is my dad’s old Nikon,” Wallace shared.
That vintage camera sparked a deep love for photography, one that has now become a vital creative outlet in his life.
“It teaches you a lot of patience, which is what you need in a race car,” Wallace explained.
In many ways, racing and photography share the same philosophy:
🏁 Timing is everything. Whether hitting the perfect racing line or capturing the perfect shot, patience and precision matter.
🏁 Staying cool under pressure. On the track, a bad restart or a close call demands quick composure. In photography, a missed shot forces a refocused mindset.
Wallace: “It’s Your Photo, Your Perspective”
Wallace doesn’t just shoot for fun—he lives with a camera in hand, capturing the beauty of everyday life.
“Pretty sure there’s a lot of keyboard warriors out there that’ll tell you it’s not cool, but it’s your photo,” Wallace said with a grin.
Much like his approach to handling critics in NASCAR, Wallace embraces individuality and self-expression.
His photography page is an intimate, unfiltered look into his world, featuring:
📸 Candid moments with his wife, Amanda Carter
📸 Adorable snapshots of their dog, Asher
📸 Street photography from his travels, including his son Becks’ first trip to New York City
A Different Side of Bubba Wallace
Most recently, Wallace shared a touching photo of his newborn son, Becks Hayden, capturing a heartfelt moment of fatherhood.
For a driver constantly in the public eye, photography allows Wallace to step back, slow down, and appreciate life’s simple joys—away from the track, the cameras, and the pressure of competition.
If you’re only following Bubba Wallace for racing content, you’re missing out on an entirely different side of the NASCAR star.
And for Wallace, whether it’s behind the wheel of a stock car or the lens of a camera, one thing remains clear:
He knows exactly when to take the shot.
