"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
@@brianp2707 Good riddance!
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.
I agree!
Agreed just awesome! Love getting the back story.
Racin' Royalty
Just don't read the comments
For REAL RACING check out F1...nascar is like watching gocarts...
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.
UTMOST*
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
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
If dale was still alive JR would of won his Championship
@@chucknasello4873 kerry would of probably won something to
If Dale Jr and Kelly would have gotten ahold of DEI it would have been a powerhouse too
If dale was still alive He would have had to divorce Teresa for that to happen
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.

Great interview. Always like to hear Kelly tell her story. Dale Sr. Would be so proud of how his kids have carried on after his passing .
If you get a chance list to her Dale Jr's podcast. They tell some fun stories.
@@CrewsOfficial yep listened to that one too 👍
Yes. Just always felt Kerry got the shaft
@@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.
Kyle and Kelly are just good down to earth North Carolina people. Great interview!
fk teresa and sr, you dont treat kids like that
Vonbohn Products
It was a different man.
Very different. Everyone was learning as we go.
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.
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
Loved this interview- have always liked Kelly. Feel she would be a great friend for anyone. I can see why Jr respects her so much.
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....
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
@@barrybadrinath2453 Kelley is the reason why Dale Jr became highly successful. He has a net worth of $300+ million.
@@sergeantmasson3669 oh yeah no doubt about it she’s the reason Jr motorsports is running so well
@@barrybadrinath2453 DEI could've been successful too if Kelley had run it. Teresa was too greedy and too jealous of Dale Sr's adult. children and destroyed DEI.
Love the Coffee with Kyle, very interesting and fun! Keep'em coming Kyle!
She is exceptionally intelligent. Could listen to her and kyle all day.
Kelley is a very smart woman. Dale is lucky to have her behind operations.
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.
Kyle that was an awesome interview. Kelley is 1 awesome lady.
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.
🙏🙏🙏
..what did she binge on?...
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.
That was one of the best interview I've ever seen.
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 !
Everything with everyone is an uphill battle.... speaking of Teresa. Sounds legit
She is an absolute *@#$*
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.
Kelly is a badass! Much much respect 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Kelly is proof that you don't have to have been a star on the track to be one of the most iconic figures in the sport. As always great Job Kyle Petty.
Sherrills
Can you please activate closed caption for this channel I have been asking for months. I can't hear very good and I have a horrible time trying to watch your videos because I have to rewind 50 or 60 times per video.
They are on now
I wish there where more family values like the pettys and Earnhardt’s in today’s society! Great interview!
I totally agree, they're is alot trash in society these days!
You mean like the Petty and Earnhardt children? The parents didn't give a flip about their family.
@@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.
@@toby2581 ..well, they DID become successful in large part because of their dad...but not necessarily happy because of him....
Nice people, no phony facades just good folks. Kelley would be an awesome manager in any industry. I agree with Kyle’s previous comments, Danika was not a race car driver, she was pure marketing. Her average finish was 24th and she never won a NASCAR race. She calls herself a great driver, she thinks she qualifies as a super star
What a positive person! Humble and down to earth! Kyle what a great interview!
Kyle you are a top notch interviewer keep these coming!
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.
She's a strong leader. If her and Jr. got DEI instead of his wife it would still be in business and be as successful as Gibbs, Roush, etc.
@@wr70beh JR Motorsports is far better than DEI ever was all because of Kelley.
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.
Kelley's too nice to say it outright, so I will: Teresa was obviously one of those stereotypical "evil step-mothers". No fairy tale for her, Jr & Kerry.
she was in it for the money. if you dont believe me just take a look at how she acted when her husband died. she destroyed DEI
@@ShawnCaldwell11 👍❤‼️
Kelly is the smartest person in racing imo, male or female.
So, Dale Sr was just a terrible father. Kids came last. His priorities were racing, hunting, farming, wife, then kids. Very sad, really.
Interesting interview, the Petty's and Eanhardt's have a lot in common.
W. Todd Clark if you don’t include Theresa.
Old school racing on Sunday afternoon. They played while the racing went on.
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.
Agreed !
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.
Like the Dale Jr. podcast's and downloads, I just love Coffee With Kyle. Always a great interview done with taste. Wish they were more often!
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.
LOL.. Kelley riding a 125 Yamaha going under a chain link fence... She should of been racing on a track at 10yo. She is a BLAST...!!
Thanks KP and Kelly!! Great interview!!
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.
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.
Great interview with Kelly. I never got to hear her. She is a very nice person.
I honestly never realized how much she looks like her daddy? Never noticed.
I was thinking the same thing its eerie, you can tell she's Dale Jr's biggest fan, this was a great interview.
She actually looks more like her mom(RIP).
@@slick-px4pq I've never really looked at her mother as closely as I have Sr's and hers now.
Patrick Partridge
Very much like her dad
Classy lady, always had respect for Kelly.
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.
W
Kelley is so smart, and so loyal. She's the type of woman that our daughter's should look up to. She's the female Intimidator!
I love listening to her talk.
Kelly looks like her dad for sure. Dale Sr wouldn't be happy with Tresa the way she did his son and daughter. She was just a gold digger. He was proud of both his kids well all of his kids but him and Dale Jr was alike and did things together as he got older.
This was emotional and uplifting and maybe the best one yet. Thanks to both of you.
I Love Kelly.... She is so real and so down to earth. I have a great appreciation for all that she said and shared. Wow.......
Brenda Gee and Dale did a great job with the children. Dale Jr. and Kelley accepted Kerry with open arms. MaMaw was the glue. God bless the children.
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!
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.
I grew up around the short tracks in the fifties....I was called a hick...on a daily basis...it hurt my feelings but never changed how I thought about racing. To this day I can go to sleep to the sound of a race car...a hick lullaby.
There`s one thing worse then being a hick and that`s being a hungry hick
I miss Dale Sr he was the best in my days and well always stay #1 Earnhardt fan
This was a great interview. Kyle killed it. Kelley was great.
Kelley is pure class.
Listening to her makes me grateful for my parents.
HANDS DOWN THAT WAS AWESOME ... THE ROUTES OF HOW TWO ENJOY YOUR LIFE"""" PRICELESS
What a shame the wicked stepmother ruined DEI. Had she sold the 51% controlling interest to Jr she’d be rolling in money still today. Dale Earnhardt has to be shaking his head at what transpired.
Let's get real here, Danica was a washout, a total wasted effort because she never had the talent, just a ton of attitude. She set the sport back for women for some time to come.
Kyle,,, Man no BS probably your best Interview ever!!! Learned so much... Thank you by Brother :)
I believe if Nascar is to survive and grow they have to have females succeed or Nascar is going to shrink back to a small regional sport like it was in the 60s and 70s if it's not carful.
He didn't enjoy a lot of success racing but he is a good interviewer and nascar historian
8 Cup wins, including the Coca Cola 600, is a pretty successful career if you ask me.
Kyle Petty, I love these little sit down chats. Glad you ended it when you did, it was fixing to get real emotional. 💞
Kyle does an outstanding job with these interviews.
Coffee makes things better.
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.
Great candid video! Love her! Smart, intelligent, down to earth!! ❤️
that is one of the saddest thing trying to grieve and be in front of the public as someone famous
The stingy flare surgically decay because step-aunt cosmetically nod besides a cluttered ticket. late, ubiquitous expert
Kyle you need to do another one with her I'd like to hear more of her stories
Excellent, as usual. One can learn so much of the back stories. And, just found out I share a birthday with Kelley, although a few years earlier than her. What if she could have continued racing? And mentioning Dale Jr. stats in Late Model (3 of 159), I would love to know how well Kelley did. And, having been a long time fan of the 43 (since 1970), and also having used a lot of STP products in my vehicles and drinking of LOT of Mello Yello back in the day, I still wonder how Petty Enterprises would have turned out if Adam were still here.
King 43 check out jrs podcast if you haven’t already he interviews Kelley
"You know," said Kelley
Awesome interviews
Awesome to see this interview with Kelley 😊
I'd like to see Kyle on Dale Jr Download 👍
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.
She always seems to have her Fathers Gusto, no matter how many years go by. It Makes me wonder what it would've been like if she had started Racing. She certainly would've made a better female Icon for NASCAR than Danica Bloody Patrick.
This is nice to hear more about the Earnhardts early age
Dale Jr once stated that Kelley was a better race car driver than both of her brothers. Kelley would later decide that she would be better as a business manager and that turned out to be true.
Fantastic interview that ended with the cutting of onions in my truck
Kelley rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great interview Kyle. Kelley is so diplomatic. Her intelligence shines.
Great job Kyle. You make me miss childhood- running behind you while you were trying to leave the autograph session to hop on your motorcycle and gtho of there😂
Kyle I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, and I’m now just coming upon it by watching Dale Jr download, but this was a great interview. I’m going to watch more now. Kelly is so genuine about all she talks about. “Girls are supposed to have pretty legs” was a good moment! Wish NASCAR could get back to the old days. The new stuff isn’t as exciting. I’m all for the safety stuff, as I’m sure you are, but we need to bring back Rockingham, and other old tracks. Racing the streets of Chicago ain’t NASCAR!
Seems like a genuinely nice person.
When Kyle closed with that's the one solace I take about Adam is he loved it I lost it crying like a baby dammit
And then he ends the interview with that's all I got😢💙
Sucks that the business their father started won’t stay in the samebut glad the kids started their own 👍🏽
What an amazing interview, well done.
Today, Teresa has paid the ultimate price for her greed. None of the Earnhardt family wants anything to do with her and she's no longer welcome at any NASCAR events. Teresa's greed destroyed DEI.
Excellent Kelley Kyle you also are a no b/s down to earth guy not looking to impress anyone Great Job
Classy Lady. Real Classy with a lot of grit and guts. Straight talker which rare in NASCAR. nice eyes too.
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
So happy for kyle now that hes left his wife and sired a new baby.
It's good they turned out so well. Horrible step-mom that doesn't like you and an absent father are tough
Very cool they talked about Hailey Deegan and what steps she should take. The Deegan family is awesome watch Deegan 38 on here great videos. Kelly is awesome and tells it like it is.
Deegan wins by spinning out drivers on the last lap, idk thats not how you race
@@concepts_a1 was it ok when Dale Earnhardt did it? She was hit first.
there's a difference between moving a driver out of the way for a win and wrecking them for the win. Idk what your thoughts on that are.
@@concepts_a1 I agree but if you get slammed save it and pay back is what it is. Which race in particular are you talking about I will re watch again.
Robert I I'll try and find it, it was NASCAR k&n pro series
Great interview. Thank you
Kyle keep these great interviews going. Enjoy these very much
Jr is Jr. But Kelly has kept DEI alive with JR motorsports. I guess I just figured this out. I love hearing her stories. The ultimate big sister.
Great interview, two very classy people
