Dale Jr. reacted to Wallace’s post with three hands applauding emojis.
“FINALLY!” Amy Earnhardt posted with three heart emojis. “So happy for y’all! @amandacarter17.”’
In a separate post, Carter, 26, displayed her engagement ring, saying “He did good.” Wallace is 27.
Under another post by Carter of the couple at the waterfall, Amy Earnhardt was already thinking ahead.
“Whoop whoop,” Amy Earnhardt posted. “Babies.”
