They grew up racing each other in the teens and since then have shared a close bond. The duo is known for the hilarious social media beefs and teasing each other.
Recently Bubba Wallace stirred up another such back and forth, regarding the 23XI Racing driver’s son Becks. He shared an image, from his New Miami YouTube vlog, where Becks is seen crying as the TRD driver receives the kid back from Ryan Blaney. Wallace seems to indicate that uncle Blaney isn’t good with handling kids.

Ryan Blaney was quick to respond to the claims, with his own post on X. He called out Wallace for giving terrible context, asserting that Becks was already crying when he received him, while he was on his way back from home from Miami. The Ford driver then joked about Becks calling him dady.
Terrible context. Was crying when I received said son. Fails to mention he and I were chillin on the way home from Miami. I believe he even called me daddy but I ain’t here to stir the pot.
Ryan Blaney responded.

Another hilarious social media post made by him, was changing his profile picture. He shared the image of NASCAR Mount Rushmore that featured seven times cup champions Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jimmie Johnson. The fourth one in the image was hilariously Wallace himself.

The image was aimed up strong conversation among his haters, who likes to downplay the 23XI drivers’ achievements and attacks him for him comments. It would be interesting to see if Bubba Wallace continue to perform on the same consistent level as himself and continue to tease his haters.
