After securing a record-breaking yet disheartening 10th place in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series driver standings, Bubba Wallace was just not feeling himself. But his wife, Amanda Wallace, proved to be a great support system as she kept her husband’s mind engaged to prevent him from pondering the recently concluded season, and playing video games together, among other things, helped her succeed in the task.
This time, however, during the couple’s snowboarding outing at Sunshine Village Ski & Snowboard Resort, Banff, Canada, it was Bubba who became the support system of his wife and didn’t shy away from hyping her up, like a “cheerleader,” making her visit after a six-year wait worth it.

While many drivers spend their off-season time around the garage with the cars and the team, the 23XI Racing driver took a different route and went on a vacation with his wife as their first marriage anniversary is around the corner, on New Year’s Eve. The couple headed to Alberta, and it was after 6 years that Amanda went to the slopes. Her experience was nothing short of extraordinary, probably because Bubba kept her energy levels high by constantly cheering for her.
Amanda Wallace shared her snowboarding experience on her Instagram story and penned down the feeling of contentment she felt after a long hiatus of 6 years and wrote, “Despite how slow my old ass is going. I had so much fun! We haven’t been to the slopes in 6 years!!”
She then expressed her heartfelt thanks to Bubba Wallace for keeping her hyped up during the entirety of their snowboarding adventure and wrote, “Also, @bubbawallace is a great cheerleader,” following which her husband reshared the video and praised his wife and wrote, “My wife is a BADA**!!!!”
