Christmas has officially wrapped up and many of the NASCAR drivers have been on holiday. Among them is 23XI Racing star, Bubba Wallace, who traveled out of town with his family. The Wallace family made landfall in New York City and spent Christmas in the Big Apple.
Safe to say, when the photos eventually wound up on social media, the fans could not contain themselves. Many people were practically exploding from the cuteness overload at the sight of young Becks. In his Instagram post, Bubba Wallace was confident that his son would be able to remember his first Christmas.
To be honest, the 2024 campaign was not much to write home about, as he failed to reach the Playoffs. So he will be hoping that the 2025 season will be kinder to him. What made things tougher for him is that teammate Tyler Reddick had a very impressive run, putting him in title contention. So for Wallace to be so far away from his teammate, can be a little embarrassing, and it puts pressure on him. As a result, 2025 has to be a season of redemption for the #23 driver. Already the team’s 2025 season had been off to a chaotic start before a wheel had even touched the tarmac.

This was because of the ongoing lawsuit that team owner Michael Jordan slapped onto NASCAR. So much has been said about this lawsuit already, and it was all because Jordan accused NASCAR of trying to be a monopoly. However, with the offseason underway, Wallace could take some much-needed vacation time with his family during Christmas.
What made this significant was that this was Becks Hayden Wallace’s first outing with his family since his birth. In New York, Wallace unleashed his inner photographer with several stunning shots. This had to have been the first time the whole family was going on holiday. Having been born in September this year, the couple believe that Becks is old enough to travel with them.

Despite being just a few months old, young Becks is taking to the cold weather quite well. Just before their visit to New York, Bubba Wallace uploaded pictures of the family’s visit to Aspen, where the three posed for a picture in the snow. It wasn’t just snow Becks saw, as he joined his parents for Ryan Blaney’s wedding, who tied the knot with Gianna Tulio at Hotel Jerome While young Becks looked a bit agitated, he braved the weather and even made it through an outing in the Big Apple.

However, this might not be the only trip young Becks make to New York. With his father’s ride for 2025 secured, fans may soon see Becks return for the 2025 race at Watkins Glen. For now, fans were simply happy to see Becks out and about with his parents in one of the most memorable cities to be in for Christmas.
NASCAR fans were thrilled to see Bubba Wallace with his family
When fans saw the pictures on social media, many New Yorkers could hardly believe that he was so close. One fan yelped in disbelief and happiness, “BUBBA IN NYC???” Among the many places that the family of three visited, was the subway in the city. New York was hardly the first place that the family visited, as just a few days ago, they were in Colorado. In all honesty, the 31-year-old is relishing the time he has with wife Amanda and son Becks. This is because, when the 2025 NASCAR Cup season begins, he will have very little time to spend with his family.

You will cherish these photos of your family forever!” Finally, another fan declared, “Awesome pictures dude!” While Wallace was known to post political content on his Instagram account frequently back in 2020, he switched things up recently.
