@@ChazISfat Dale Sr wasn't the only person that said Kelley was a better race car driver than her two brothers. ESPN and Dale Jr has stated that a few times too. Kelley chose to quit racing to obtain a higher level education and auto racing requirements conflicted with her education class schedules. She earned a BA for Business Administration. After that, she knew that business management meant more to her than auto racing. Her grandfather, her dad, or her mom ever got a college education. Dale Jr earned a degree for auto mechanics from a trade school college. Kerry Earnhardt quit high school before graduating.

A great question to ask Kelly or even Dale Jr would be this- When they hired Danica Patrick on at Jr Motorsports was anything said about the slightly nasty remarks Danika said about Dale Jr during a race when he wrecked her. The race is online. I think it's on a video that someone posted about Dale Jr racing and putting people out of the race. Some were intentional but most were unintentional as the one involving Danica. He wasnt trying to wreck her it just happened. As the movie said- "rubbin is racing" and I am willing to bet the race he put her out in was probably when she was a rookie NASCAR driver because you could tell it wasnt intentionally done but they bleeped her response to the wreck. So I'm just curious if that was ever brought up or talked about. Maybe they talked after the race which would have ended it there but you never know.

@anthonybarbone529 5 жыл бұрын

DaleE988 Agreed. Danica proved that it could be done, but she didn’t have the talent. She opened the door for someone like Hailie Deegan to have a shot. Natalie decker is pretty terrible, but deegan is like 17 years old, has the off-road dirt background, and is already doing pretty well, so I like her chances going forward. Has monster backing her, a big last name and hooked up with Toyota. I think she’s talented and marketable, so I hope she gets there

@88fanforlife 5 жыл бұрын

Anthony Barbone yeah true about Decker. People either think she’s gonna be great or not amount to anything. With Deegan and what I’ve seen outta her I see superstar potential. If she can get into a quality ride like maybe the 11 since Denny would probably be ready to step out by the time she’s cup ready she could do some really great things

We're not going to see Danica's impact on the sport for many years still. Danica might not have left an impression on many current fans but I bet we'll see an influx of female driver's in the future. Just wait for her young fans to grow up and start driving in the senior divisions.

@jimboslice9472 5 жыл бұрын

I agree a bit, unfortunately the bulk of us are quite vane in our quest to be independent of our looks from the negative perception of the "homely" portion of "that" side of the family. For instance, I despise the look given me of my father's crevice chin. Most think it's cute, at least that's what they say. However in this instance there is no denying her wide looking "catfish" eyes. It's her father's eye even to a blind man. I don't say this to be mean. No it's quite human to judge this. Jr has almost the same eyes, hence the difference I spoke of before. It wouldn't be that noticeable, but they look quite eerie on a woman, even on Sr.
