What are your thoughts on Clay Millican's journey?
I'm a daddy to 3 boys. I sure hope I have the strength to carry on if something this tragic happens. Good on ya Clay.
He's an amazing man with an amazing story. If you are a father and didn't have tears in your eyes watching this......
I met Clay last weekend at a BRAKES driving school. I don't recall ever meeting anyone as humble and sincere as Clay in my life. I have the greatest admiration for celebrities that are common people at heart. It's been over 20 years since i have been to an NHRA event, now I have a new reason to follow the sport. I also plan to start donating my time at the Memphis BRAKES school because I was so touched by Clay's story.
My thoughts......there are dozens of incredibly crazy, interesting, charismatic drivers and riders on the NHRA circuit. Heck, any of the Force ladies (of course), Leah, the Sarge, Antron of course....all people i'd love to get away from the track and spend a afternoon with. But, without a doubt, Clay would be my number 1 pick. I've met the man several times but don't know him. Still, when he won that national event, I cried too.
I had never heard about Clay's son. Clay used to be my favorite drag racer, years ago but I lost track of drag racing for many years. My heart goes out to Clay and his wife, and know their pain, as we have the loss of a son in common. You never get over that loss. You just learn to carry it with you.
Who is here after watching Boosted Boiz Video? 👀👀
I saw this video before but I'm watching it again but I did see Clay on Kyle's channel. Did you know who Clay was or did you have to look him up?
@@79tazman honestly I had never heard of the name, but will surely be following his racing in the near future hopefully setting new records 💨
Me.
Have a guess who's on the pit crew this weekend then .Brent Kyle .PFI boosted boy
@@jeffreybamford7365 Just watched the new PFI speed vid they hint to it at the end 😎🏁🏁💯
Boostedboiz brought me here
Me too. I had no idea who he is but man....what a great person.
Seen him on TV, but just watched b boys at the dunes.
You guys are awesome
@@PFIBrent sounds like Brent ☺. Love your optimism and energy man your an awesome dude too
I have always like Clay, but I had no idea that he'd lost a son in a tragic accident. I was always impressed by his demeanor and attitude, but my respect for him has skyrocketed now that I know his heartbreak and subsequent triumph! Clay, you are a true champion and I hope you continue to race and win. God bless you and your family.
Guy is a class act! Such a nice man. So sorry for his loss but glad to see him get back on his feet and carrying on. Great role model!
Clay has to be the happiest guy on earth, never seen not smiling. I remember when he won on Father's Day after Dalton was killed ,it made me have tears.
There are very few people on planet earth as incredible as Clay. He is as good as it gets. ❤️
The Best Attitude in All of Racing! He's a Winner even if he doesn't win.. This world needs many more Clay Millicans..
PFI!! THANK YOU BRO
Just met Clay through Brent and Kyle from PFI and Boosted Boiz, though having known of him before, I didn't realise that he had this chapter and after watching this I am heartbroken for him and his family...thank you.❤️
I’ve been watching Clay Millican’s UA-cam Channel for some time. He is a wonderful and honorable competitor. I did not know that he lost a son in a tragic accident. Having two sons of my own, I cannot begin to imagine the pain that he must have endured. I Pray that God will comfort Clay and his family with the knowledge that their son is Resting in the Arms of Jesus.
An infectious smile and positive attitude! Heart-wrenching story; thanks for sharing.
I've been fortunate to have met Clay many times through business. I can tell you that he is exactly the same guy in a business negotiation as the guy you see in this video. A class act if there ever was one.
If more people were like Clay Millican this World would be a better place!! This made me cry!!
I couldn't imagine the pain of losing a Child!! Love you Clay!!
Thid world needs more people like Clay!!
I'd not seen this before today. Very appropriate, Fathers Day, 2021. This had me really choked up, the gift of the chest protector pushed it over the top. Clay is a class act, I wish him, his family and his team nothing but win lights and Wally's.
Continued prayers for Clay, Donna, and the entire Millican family
Clay you will go down as one of the greats,I know your too humble to admit it. God Bless you and yours.
Clay you are definitely the man brother I was so happy to finally get to meet you and get a picture with you at the Gatornationals this year was so cool 😎. What an amazing story you have and are living it to the fullest much love to you and the wifey ..
Clay is to this day a class act!
God Speed Dalton! We know you watch over and ride with your father. 🙏
Clay is a down to earth guy, cant wait to talk to him in a few weeks in seattle
Thoughts?
Clay seems like a really nice person. And who in the heck give this a thumbs down!??! There are 4 people that need prayers.
I have been watching his channel for a while now. Really like him. Had no idea he lost his son. Heartbreaking 💔
We all love ya clay. You are a good man
He is the nicest guy. 😢😢😢
Clay Millican is to be Admired for sure!
Nicest guy in any form of racing right there!
Clay is the kind of person that will make you question who you are. Such a great example of how to treat your fellow man.
Truly amazing

Legend & a true southern gentleman
This video has me in tears. I too have lost a son. Dominic was only 10. That signed chest guard, whoa, how cool. Thanks for sharing. We love you Clay
Clay is an awesome human being!!
Thanks for posting. I like Clay Millican more than ever after I saw this episode !
Clay is the best!
he is a humble man I would be honored to meet him one day
Let’s go Clay
What a class act
Close to the heart story.
Wow you've gotta Love that man
Love this guy. ❤
This came at a good time. I’ve been watching Clays personal UA-cam lately.
Clay is THE man
Never met clay I hope too someday, he seems to be thee nicest guy. I've rooted for him for years and wish nothing for the best for him. The way he has takin Brent from pfi under his wing and their friendship is amazing two of the most positive people who could've givin up but didn't let rough parts in life stop their journey
What a human ❤️❤️❤️
God bless
I love clay
Thanks for producing this story. He IS, the nicest guy in the pits. No doubt about it. Hope he gets more wins and a championship....
I'm amazed y'all glossed right over his IHRA national championship in 2001. I was pulling the team Werner trailer that day.. still have the t-shirt and pit pass for that?!!!!
Clay was THE man in his IHRA days. Was amazed it took him as long as it did to win an NHRA Wally.
NHRA is a far different breed of kitty.. difference between SCCA and NASCAR
A legend
I was at the Thunder Valley Nationals in 2017.
Cleetus McFarland brought me here.. must have something in my eyes.. Sorry for you & you’re family’s loss Clay
I was trying to find the cover for the onions but I realized I wasn't cutting onions.
RIP dalton
❤️
First time seeing this, See you on the starting line Dalton...
Boostedboiz.
Who is the Bozo that gave a thumbs down??
Who’s the interviewer with the big sacks?
in God We trust
Almost got a thumbs until I saw the motors on fox. I don’t give Fox News or any of there affiliates thumbs up anymore since they can’t mention a certain individual “Soros” on any of there programs. It’s a shame. They have lots of good coverage n reporters and commentators but they are held back.
