Santa has showered his blessings on the Wallace household early this year! After a roller-coaster ride-worthy professional journey in the 2023 playoffs, our man Bubba Wallace is already in the Christmas spirit, making merry at home in his own unique way! Now, talking about his on-track antics, it was hands down, a career-defining year for him. Wallace made a grand entrance, zooming right into the playoffs for the very first time, and he didn’t just stop at the starting line. He cruised all the way to the round of 12, marking a smashing start to his playoff saga.
Now, he might not have snagged the top spot, but let’s not gloss over the impressive stats: five top-5 finishes, a neat 10 in the top-10s (talk about consistency, eh, Bubba?), and a whopping 285 laps where he led the pack – a personal record! Furthermore, he finished 10th in the points table, the best in his career so far. On the personal front, while some of his rivals, like Kyle Busch, seem to be busy carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating with their kin, Wallace is being seen dipping his toes in the year-end holiday spirits!

Hold onto your hats, folks – Bubba Wallace, the helmet aficionado, is at it again! His buddy Ryan Blaney spilled the beans: Wallace is so hooked on helmets, that he won’t even swap them with his best friend. Imagine a room chock-full of helmets- that’s what a collector like Bubba Wallace’s paradise is. And guess what? Wallace has already kicked off his Christmas festivities, surrounded by his treasured collection. He took to Instagram, sharing a glimpse of his unique celebration with a cheeky caption, “Christmas in November.”
But it’s not just Bubba who’s all in on the helmet hype. His wife, caught up in the helmet mania, shared a snap on her Instagram story, humorously captioning it “Helmeted out of our minds.”
Flashback to last New Year’s Eve, and there’s Wallace, tying the knot with his sweetheart in a grand affair in Charlotte, North Carolina. Surrounded by 250 guests at the JW Marriott, it was a fairytale ending to their five-year romance. But this year, it’s all about the helmets. And not just the Wallace’s, other NASCAR households also seem to have already taken to the festive cheer!
Kyle Busch’s family, too, is getting a head start on Christmas. The holiday season is revving up early in the racing world!

The Christmas spirit has also hit the Busch household early this year, and how! Just the other day, Samantha Busch, Kyle’s wife, took to Instagram to share her mixed feelings. Amid the hustle of sorting out KBM (Kyle Busch Motorsports) relics, Samantha found herself knee-deep in closet chaos. But, as luck would have it, this chore turned into a festive surprise.

While sorting through the KBM stuff, Samantha stumbled upon Christmas ornaments, sparking a wave of excitement in their son, Brexton. With visions of holiday cheer, she shared a snippet of their impromptu celebration, saying, “It’s Christmas Day at the Bush House, and this year I was obviously cleaning out KBM. And I found what? Ornaments and Christmas trees from past parties. So this one (Brexton) is going to have a Christmas tree in his room today. So we are getting started on that.”
Samantha’s creativity was in full swing as she put together unique ornament clusters, breathing new life into their Christmas trees. She excitedly outlined plans for multiple themed trees, including a candy-themed one for Lennox and a glitzy number for upstairs. The family’s post-Christmas bargain hunt in Tulsa last year also came in handy, yielding adorable ornaments at a steal.
