Bubba Wallace’s wife Amanda says she “finally understands what people meant about the baby kicking into their ribs”

Amanda Wallace, wife of NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, recently shared another glimpse into her pregnancy. Amanda, who is 33 weeks pregnant with the couple's first child, posted an update about her experience on an Instagram story.

Amanda is a former financial analyst and frequently shares her pregnancy updates on social media. She currently has over 23k followers on Instagram. In her latest Instagram story, Amanda reflected on the physical challenges that come with carrying a baby in the later stages of pregnancy. As the baby gets bigger, there is less room in the womb, which can cause more pressure and discomfort.

“At 33 weeks I finally understand what people meant when they say the baby is kicking into their ribs,” Wallace wrote.

Bubba Wallace on Richmond controversy and team performance

Bubba Wallace recently expressed his frustration with Austin Dillon's controversial win at the Cook Out 400 last Sunday. Dillon's aggressive driving at Richmond Raceway to take the win led to complaints from many drivers and fans about the rules of NASCAR races.

Wallace finished fourth at the race and currently has a playoff spot with three points. The No. 23 Toyota Camry driver later criticized the incident and wondered how such moves could go unpunished.

“We just have to keep fighting. It seems like you can crash someone and still be fine. It’s strange how things work...In by three, got beaten by the three. It was a chickensh*t move," Wallace said (via NBC).

He also praised his team for their hard work and improvement throughout the race and during the crucial final pit stop.

“We knew we had to work coming in here, obviously being below and our team did just that...We fought hard. Man, we did not have the best day pit road, not from a lack of effort. Appreciate them getting better all night. They showed up when it mattered on the last stop, kept us in it...Kept making it better and better, trying to get the best feedback that I could and just executed all night. I appreciate the effort from my team, nice to walk away here from a top-five finish," he added.

Bubba Wallace had consecutive top-five finishes in the last two weeks of the Cup Series. He is currently 12th in the standings for 23XI Racing with 587 points, including nine top-10s and five top-5 finishes.
