Ahead of this year’s Daytona 500, Bubba Wallace’s wife gave a few sneak peeks at her lovely family. The crown jewel event was held for the 67th time in 2025. After placing second in 2018 and 2022, Wallace was looking for his first victory in the same event. Bubba Wallace finished in P29 in the final event. Riley Herbst and Tyler Reddick, two of his colleagues, came in second and seventeenth, respectively. Amanda wished Bubba Wallace luck as the renowned 500-mile race was about to begin. The Alabama native made another shot at the Daytona 500, and considering the chaos that typically ensues in this race, it’s possible that Wallace needed good fortune to be on his side.
However, in the arms of the NASCAR driver, tiny Becks, Wallace, and Amanda’s four-month-old child somehow fell asleep. “Better late than never, another 500 in the books!” was the message Amanda wrote as she shared a few photos from the day on Instagram. Despite the turmoil, Becks managed to fall asleep in his father’s arms. In what racing enthusiasts refer to as the “Great American Race,” Bubba Wallace is still awaiting that coveted victory. Since 1982, this event has kicked off the season in February. Before winning his first and only Daytona 500, even the legendary Dale Earnhardt had to wait 20 years.
This year, William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports won, reiterating his 2024 victory. He also earned his postseason berth with it. Still trying to get his first victory of the year is Bubba Wallace. His most recent victory was at Kansas Speedway in 2022, but he hasn’t won in years.

Although Bubba Wallace did not win the main event, he did win the Daytona International Speedway Duel 1. A 150-mile, 60-lap race, the Duel 1 at Daytona serves as a qualifying event for the Daytona 500.
After the triumph, Wallace held his trophy in victory lane and posed for the camera. Becks was also with him, as was Amanda. However, Becks just turned his head away from the commotion, seemingly uninterested in the posing. It goes without saying that, especially during Valentine’s Week, it was a lovely family moment. Amanda posted the photo with the caption, “My Valentine’s Day ♥”
“Literally the cutest family ever,” said Gianna Tulio, the wife of former NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, in the comments section of the adorable photo. Interestingly, Blaney was Wallace’s boyhood pal. Last December, Wallace received an invitation to Blaney and Tulio’s wedding, which was held at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado. NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports were among the attendees.
