You can see she and Dale Jr are joined together beyond just being siblings. They were one another's safety net and still are today. Can't imagine what it was like a couple weeks ago with the team's plane crash and the early moments of not knowing what was going on. She's a strong and smart woman, and NASCAR would do well to have more like her around.
Kyle and Dale Jr's podcasts are just outstanding. They do so well for touching on the subjects that folks that have followed this sport for decades find interesting.

@@karlfritch9193 if you listen to some stories about Kelley and Dale Jr.’s childhood, Kerry is lucky to have had his mom and loving stepdad. Also, despite the fact that they didn’t meet until Kerry was 16, they are close.
@@karlfritch9193 It’s easy to think that but just remember, Kerry only got exactly what his mom wanted for him until he got old enough to make his own decisions. And to his credit, sr and his family all seemed to do everything they could short of disrespecting Kerry’s moms wishes to still remain a part of his life.
I watch anything with her . Finally someone asked all the questions I wanted to hear answered and both of them were comfortable with each other. Excellent job Kyle !
So glad to hear Kelley be interviewed !...I am so impressed with her. A strong women in a tough industry. I see now Why Dale Jr. gives here so much credit for Junior Motor Sports!..Very impressive individual....
You have to live down there for a while with the real people to understand the accent. It still gets me and I used to hang out in the Winston-Salem-Lexington area when young. RCR built his place down the road.
I was a kid when Adam passed and I still wonder how great he could of been competing against Johnson, Harvick, Truex jr, etc. I got Kyle Pettys autograph at Texas motor speedway 2 years ago and I regret not asking Kyle to sign 45 after his signature
Thanks so much for producing and doing this interview. Kelley is just plain awesome. If I were able to sit down and talk to anyone on the face of the earth now it would be Kelley Earnhardt Miller. She is a very smart and very beautiful woman. I admire her so much for the person she is and envy her for the relationship she has with Dale Jr.
I've always had great respect for Kelley. The smartest thing Jr probably ever did as a business owner was binging her on board. Maybe one day she will run NASCAR and be the one to guide it back to glory.
Racers and their families are just different than most people. The last few minutes of this interview point that out. Kyle and Kelley have that unfortunate bond of losing someone they love in a race car. It would be hard to go on in the sport for most people, yet they are still in it decades later. Remarkable to me. Great interview.
I sure wish people today would have old fashioned values like you. I was born in 1970 and I have the same values as you. The world would be a lot better place.
WoW... really great interview on several different levels. Thank you, Kelley, for doing this, Thank you, Kyle, for doing this. Seeing you both roll through some of the most painful parts of your lives was rivetting. Pray much joy for you both in life yet to come.
Kelley is a woman of great wisdom and substance. Dale Sr would be very proud what she and Dale Jr have accomplished. It just makes me sad for what might have been at DEI.
Dale wouldn't be proud because he was a selfish narcissist only interested in himself. He didn't care that he had great kids in spite of the fact that he was a terrible parent.
@@crazypeoplearoundtheworld304 You know all that, how? Were you there to know all that personally or just your own personal opinions? Dale Sr's children all grew up to be nice people and quite successful. Dale Jr is the wealthiest person in NASCAR with a net worth of $300+ million.
@@sergeantmasson3669 evidently you didn't listen to what his kids say. If you think making money and getting Fame is equivalent to success? Then by your standard Dale was successful. But he was a negligent father and husband who lives only for himself. That makes him a failure. You are not the person strangers believe you to be. You are the person your family knows you to be.
Wonderful interview. These two grew up in the sport with the 2 most popular drivers in the history of Nascar as their fathers, both have dealt with tremendous tragedy. Nothing but respect for them, class acts all the way.
Kelley is one of the best in the sport and because its Dale's name on the company, it almost feels like she doesn't get as much credit as she deserves, but what she does for the company is what allows junior to do all that hes doing in the booth and with the podcast. We love you kelley!!
I’m new to NASCAR (My best friend started watching during Covid and wanted to go to a race so she convinced me to go to Charlotte for the Roval and I am all in. Everybody should go to at least one NASCAR race because it’s the best time you’ll ever have in your entire life. I’m saying this as a diehard Buffalo Bills fan for 46 years who loves to tailgate before games and NASCAR is still better) But I’ve always appreciated how vocal Dale Junior is about how important Kelly is to everything.
This was awesome. I remember watching her and Dale running practice laps at Caraway Speedway outside Asheboro. Ironically, I was down there to watch my buddy Billy Roach start his late model racing and then later, watching Billy being the crew chief for Adam Petty as he began his late model career. I was part of Adam's team as a timekeeper and had a chance to get to know Adam. It was so good to hear Kyle's comments about Adam during this interview. I have the utmost respect for Kelley as a business manager, a big sister, and a great Mom. I wish we could have seen her more as a driver because she just might have become the female driver success story that she and Kyle discuss here. Great interview, Kyle!
Happened on this interview by accident. Not a racing fan (just never had any reason), but I loved this interview. Loved both the interviewer and the interviewee. Makes me want to check racing out further. Thank you.
KP is sooo good at this !! I met him one time in Chattanooga, TN when I was a kid. I drove a soapbox car in this series called G-Force Racing. He signed my car at a softball game that he was playing with some other famous people. He was really nice to us kids. Not a snob at all.
@@toby2581 I'm amazed at what great kids they are despite their upbringing. I'm not a senior fan, but I'm a fan of all three of his kids. I love that they still loved him anyway. They're the best.
Just great, Kyle. Kelley, when the day comes for that woman who breaks through in Cup, you will deserve a huge amount of credit for helping pave the way.
Kyle: Thanks for doing this. Kelly: Thank you for accepting. This interview was absolutely fascinating. I could listen to you two discuss things for hours.
Thank you , I was there at Metrolina and Concord watching Dale senior tune his art of racing , Thank you for this amazing interview , No show , All go interview was direct and honest . Thank you both .
Great interview, and Kyle, in my book you are the best at doing these. You seem to assume a friendship with your interviewee, and it just comes out terrific every time. Thank you.
Such a great interview. Believe it when they tell you Kelley was (and probably still is) a very good driver. I've been convinced in my own mind that if she had run Xfinity (it was still the Busch series in the 90's) in the mid to late 90's for a few years she'd have won races and MAYBE, just maybe she'd have come up to Cup. Now we'll never know. I LOVED Dale Sr. and am a huge Junior fan and miss him on the Cup circuit. R.I.P. Dale Sr.
Great interview. Kyle asks really good questions and you learn about Kelley and Dale Jr. more and more and the family dynamics of the Earnhardts. Thumbs up to both of them.
I kind of stumbled on this interview but I was fascinated by Kelly and what she had to say. I wasn't really interested in NASCAR but now I'm interested in JR Motorsports. I want her and Jr to be mega successful. I watched Fast And Loud when they built the Chevy Nomad and thought Dale Jr was cool.. but Kelly is a super cool and beautiful lady.. the class she showed in dealing with Theresa is amazing.. it would awesome to sit down for coffee with her and listen to her wisdom... She is wise and humble
That was a very well constructed Q&A with an Earnhardt the you may not see all the time, but knows more than others we do see everyday. 2 thumbs up K.P.!!!
Thank you, great interview. I always liked her, and now I know why. I think your interviews are always interesting adn shead the light on mayn misgivings. Take care Gramps
Its impossible not to have the upmost respect for Kelley, her hearts in the right place running JR Motorsports.
You can see she and Dale Jr are joined together beyond just being siblings. They were one another's safety net and still are today. Can't imagine what it was like a couple weeks ago with the team's plane crash and the early moments of not knowing what was going on. She's a strong and smart woman, and NASCAR would do well to have more like her around.

Kyle Petty, Hands down, No B/S your best interview ever. You both did not beat around the bush. I love listening to Kelly. She is the Boss.
One of the nicestest guys you ll ever meet
@Daniel Johnston he's nothing like his dad! Can't drive a car if his life depended on it
yes she is
I agree. This was the first one of these that I watched all the way through, and I had zero expectations going into this.
Really nice family
"facing headwinds with Theresa" .. really good diplomacy right there.
Yep, really well said, very diplomatic.......
Headwinds are a mere breeze...Theresa is a catagory 10 hurricane.
She did that a few times.
I haven't seen or heard Theresa's name in so long. No where to be seen

Agreed just awesome! Love getting the back story.

For REAL RACING check out F1...nascar is like watching gocarts...
Always liked Kelly because of her loyalty to her brother. Beyond everything else, loyalty is the foundation of family.
Dale reciprocates.
They went through a lot of things together they have a great bond

I truly believe that if Big Dale were still alive DEI would be a powerhouse to be reckoned with. He wouldn't have settled for less. RIP Dale

Very different. Everyone was learning as we go.

King Richard Petty and Emperor David Pearson Too
Man to me Kelley would make a great bedtime story teller her kids must love her telling story's to them
Every time Kyle mentions Adam I can hear the love he has for him in his voice. It's a shame he had his accident
I was a kid when Adam passed and I still wonder how great he could of been competing against Johnson, Harvick, Truex jr, etc. I got Kyle Pettys autograph at Texas motor speedway 2 years ago and I regret not asking Kyle to sign 45 after his signature
Adam was very talented and would have won a lot of races.
Davey too. 😢
Too many drivers gone way too early. It's an unforgiving sport.

Kelley is old school and I really like how she handles herself. Really enjoyed this pod as I did the one she did with Dale Jr.
I've always had great respect for Kelley. The smartest thing Jr probably ever did as a business owner was binging her on board. Maybe one day she will run NASCAR and be the one to guide it back to glory.
