NASCAR Babies

By: Alyssa McSorely

NASCAR racing has been popular for ages around the world, with everyone itching to see what racers will win. But lots of people like to know what is going on behind the scenes with their favorite racers, which is why personal interviews exist, why fans like to ask lots of personal questions, and get to know who’s behind the screen. Well one such racer has revealed an incredibly happy fact in his personal life. 

William Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. Is an American NASCAR racer. He is on the Toyota Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series racing manufacturer team. (Talk about a mouthful). He has six Craftsman Truck Series wins and was the first African American since Wendell Scott to win a NASCAR race.   He is the driver of the #23 car for 23XI Racing. 

Recently, Wallace announced that he and his wife, Amanda Carter, who he married in 2022, are expecting their first child. NASCAR news stories have been going haywire over this new development, and how it will affect Wallace’s career. He announced that the baby is going to be due on his birthday week, near October 8^th. Which also means the baby- who is apparently a girl- will be coming during the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. He is obviously excited about this fact, as he has posted several times on X (Formally known as Twitter) about welcoming this new bundle of joy. 

Wallace isn’t the only NASCAR racer who is growing his family either, Chris Buescher, who drives the number 17 car, and his wife Emma, had their second child just a few days before this year’s Daytona 500. Josh Williams, who races in the Number 11 Chevy Camaro, had a daughter named Ettalynn with his wife Trazia this March. Jeremy Clements (Number 51, Chevy Camaro) and his wife Cortney also gave birth to their daughter, Kennedy, on January fourth. Timmy Hill (Number 56 Toyota Tundra) and his wife Lucy had a son, who they named Hoover, on January second. Another racer, Xfinity champion Cole Custer, announced that he and his wife, Kari, are due for their first child in August of this year. 

Bubba Wallace is very happy about his “Bubbaby.”
