For Bubba Wallace, his son chose a bit of an unfortunate time to be born, as he was only an hour away from his NASCAR Xfinity Series playoff race at Kansas Speedway when he heard the news.
However, he seems to be adjusting well to his new life as a father, as evidenced by his excitement whenever he talks about his baby boy.
In a pre-race interview for the October 6 race, when asked how he was staying focused, Bubba answered,
This first week, he’s.. I’m enjoying it. I’ve had a smile on my face. We’ve been learning what not to do. I feel like I’m a master at changing diapers. I’ve never changed a diaper before until my own. So, I figured that out, but I feel like I’m gonna get humbled here in the next couple weeks. He’s got some tricks up his sleeves already. But, all in all, it’s just been a really good week.
