Wallace’s birthday is October 8th, which means the new bundle of joy will arrive during the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. The 30-year-old racer married his longtime girlfriend Amanda Carter in 2022.
Wallace, a native of Mobile, Alabama, is a two-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner, and his first-career win at Talladega Superspeedway in the fall of 2021, marked the first win for a black race car driver since Wendell Scott’s historic win back in 1964.
The 23XI Racing driver made it into the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs for the first time in 2023, a season that was his most consistent on track to date.
Through the opening nine races of the 2024 season, Wallace has three top-five finishes and four top-10s, and he sits ninth in the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season championship standings. 16 drivers make it into the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.
