Wallace first met his wife Amanda in high school, when he was a sophomore and she was a freshman, although the couple didn’t date then. They reconnected and eventually began dating in 2016. In June 2021, Wallace popped the question, and the couple got married in December 2022.
In April, the couple announced they were expecting their first child, due in October 2024.
The Mobile, Alabama native is a two-time NASCAR Cup Series winner, last capturing a victory at Kansas Speedway in the Fall of 2022. This season, Wallace has a career-high six top-five and 11 top-10 finishes, but failed to make the post-season, currently sitting 19th in series point standings.
