Bubba Wallace is getting ready to become a father and he and his wife, Amanda Carter, are expecting their first child. On the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_uGLlz5EcQ">Dale Jr. Download</a>, the 30-year-old NASCAR driver talked about how he’s feeling as fatherhood gets closer.



“I’ve been super calm, cool and collected about it. Amanda, she’s been going through the ups and downs and just the excitement of motherhood for her, feeling the baby kick,” Wallace said. “She loves it. She thinks it’s the coolest thing ever. We’re five weeks out, and it’s crazy to think so she’s starting to feel some pain and some pressure in certain areas. Now she’s worried like, ‘Oh my god if I do one wrong move is the baby coming now?’ She’s overthinking everything.

“She asked me a couple weeks ago, she’s like, ‘Are you excited?’ I’m like, ‘Look, there’s a lot going on right now obviously, I will be excited when little man is here.’ Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to be a dad, but it takes a lot for me to get excited. We’re both enjoying the process. She’s strictly belly. That’s it. Hasn’t put on any other weight anywhere else. It’s crazy, which she said that might change in the last couple of weeks. It’s been awesome to see her grow and enjoy the whole process.

Wallace and Carter announced the pregnancy in April, and the baby is due in October. The couple got engaged in 2021 and for married on Dec. 31, 2022, in North Carolina. In an <a href="https://people.com/sports/nascars-bubba-wallace-jokes-wife-amanda-thought-he-was-not-attractive-in-high-school/">interview with PEOPLE, </a>Carter talked about the first time she met Wallace, which was in high school. 



“We were in Spanish class in high school, and we sat near each other,” recalls Carter. “I don’t remember first meeting, but he would always try to cheat. We were friends. There was three or four of us that did all of our projects together and he always would try to cheat off my exams because I was much smarter than he was!”



Wallace added: “I was definitely not good at Spanish and I was trying to do the easy route and she would not budge. She would not.”



As Wallace gets ready to be a father, he will look to clinch a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs on Sunday when he competes in the Southern 500 at Darlington.
