During NASCAR’s Olympic break, Bubba Wallace has been busy.
On Friday, the Cup Series driver and his longtime girlfriend Amanda Carter confirmed their engagement.
“Why I waited so long..we will never know. The wait is over!! Here’s to forever! Forever ever!” Bubba wrote in a post that included a photo of the moment he proposed in front of a waterfall.
Wallace has been dating Carter, a financial analyst, for almost five years, and the two are frequently seen together at racetracks. Last year, he rose to prominence after taking the lead in NASCAR’s response to the Black Lives Matter movement and landing a high-profile ride with the new 23X1 Racing team, which is co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.
Wallace didn’t say whether or not they’d set a date for the wedding, but he’ll be busy for the next few months. The NASCAR season resumes on August 8, and he only has four races remaining to win a race and qualify for the playoffs, which run from November 7 to November 7.
Wallace is presently 20th in the standings with one top five finish this season, while Hamlin leads the standings with no victories and 11 top five finishes while racing for Joe Gibbs Racing.
