The year 2024 has been especially worth remembering for Bubba Wallace. While he might not have won a race since 2022, something bigger than racing entered his life in 2024. He welcomed a bundle of joy along with his wife, Amanda Wallace, as their son, Becks Hayden Wallace, was born in September last year. Since then, their lives have centered on the little guy.

Wallace is all set to hit the tracks for the 2025 Cup Series season driving for 23XI Racing. However, this time, he seems to have something special to keep little Becks at the back of his mind at all times, quite literally! As he shares a post, fans cannot help but melt over the cute gesture.

Being a father for the first time is a moment incomparable to others. Bubba Wallace and Amanda Carter got married in the year 2022 and they announced that they were expecting Baby Becks in April 2024. Since then, they have kept their social media world quite updated about the pregnancy journey and the road that followed. Amanda often posts about what the baby is up to and how the Wallace couple is having the time of their life steering through the everyday complexities. 

While the 23XI Racing driver has a couple of weeks left to spend with his little man before hitting the tracks, he has a unique way of keeping Becks by his side at all times. When you have to travel so much for the season, it is natural for a new, first-time father to miss his baby. For the 2025 season, each of his helmets will have a unique design – one that has a unique touch of Becks. Taking to X and announcing the same, Wallace captioned, “Got little man riding with us on all our helmets this year 👣🥹”. 

The headgear had an imprint of Baby Beck’s footprints on the back, leaving fans in awe. Maybe some luck from his newborn could propel him to break his 40+ race winless streak. However, given that Wallace will be having a new crew chief, Charles Denike, things might take time to get used to. Denike will be joining the team from McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, where he oversaw the No. 19 team for Christian Eckes in the Craftsman Truck Series as they finished runners-up to Ty Masjeski. Given that Wallace is hitting the tracks for the first time after becoming a father, time will tell if his headgear symbolism proves to be a lucky charm.
