NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace wishes he had more time to spend with his 2 children. Wallace and his wife of 4 years, Amanda Carter, share son Becks and daughter Cameron.
Wallace, 32, talked about his children during a recent appearance on the 12 Questions podcast.
When asked about his one-month-old daughter Cameron, Wallace laughed and said, “She is a lot. She’s hard to settle for whatever reason. Obviously, she’s super attached to mama right now and breastfeeding and all, so I’m not much help. Last night, she was up for three hours in the middle of the night. She always has one rough stretch where she just can’t go back to sleep. She fights sleep a lot.”
Wallace misses not seeing his toddler son Becks grow up. “It is interesting to see the differences. Last night at 4:30, I woke up wide awake and I went back and looked at Becks’ newborn photos and literally said out loud, ‘Whose f—ng kid is this?’ It didn’t look like him at all.”
When asked if he could add one zero to anything in his life, Wallace said he would add more time in the day.
“I’d say time. My first instinct was money, but that’s a double-edged sword. Time — there’s not enough time in the day. Everyone says everything happens fast once you have kids, and it’s true. If you have more time, you have more time to live. Right now, I’m up at 7 a.m. every day, it’s me and Becks, we’re man-to-man coverage.”
Wallace continued: “He goes down around 11 for his nap, wakes up, then you’re just clock-watching until the next part of the day when bath time is coming up. It’s like a cycle. It used to not be like this, obviously. So yeah — more time.”
Wallace was born to a black mother and white father in Mobile, Alabama. He is the only full-time black/biracial driver in NASCAR’s three national series.
The 2025 Brickyard 400 winner drives No. 23 Toyota Camry XSE for Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing. Wallace is ranked 12th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings.
