The 23XI Racing driver just casually made the baby announcement after qualifying second for Sunday's Goodyear 400 (3 p.m. ET on FS1). He asked a simple question to Fox Sports' Regan Smith, and then he broke the news.
"But I will say, that lap for the (No.) 23 was driven by Cameron Jade," Wallace said. "You know who that is? That's my baby girl. Just born!"
Wallace added that his wife, Amanda, gave birth to their daughter on Thursday. They previously welcomed son Becks on Sept. 29, 2024.

Wallace was able to be present for the birth of his first daughter, something that had been a goal of his. The reason is that he previously missed Becks's birth while competing at Kansas Speedway.
Once this happened, he said that he would never again miss the birth of a child. He then reiterated this point during an appearance on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on March 16.
"I had told the team before the season started, 'Hey, look, priorities have changed,'" Wallace said after a ninth-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. "I've grown up, I'm a one-time dad, about to be a two-time dad, I missed my first birth. I really don't want to miss the second one."

"I'm letting you guys know that seeing my boy or girl that is born, that's number one priority. If we just so happen to be leading the race coming down 50 to go and we get the call, I'm pulling in."
Now that the news is public, the 23XI Racing driver can try to keep his strong start to the season going. He is currently second in the standings after five races.
He has finished 11th or better in every race this season while posting four top-10 finishes. He has scored a series-high 53 stage points.
