Kelley Earnhardt highlights son Wyatt Miller's first Late Model win as Earnhardt legacy grows

Taking to her Instagram stories on Sunday (March 23), NASCAR team owner Kelley Earnhardt shared her son, Wyatt Miller's, post celebrating his win at North Carolina’s Hickory Motor Speedway. Miller scored his victory this past Saturday evening when he competed in the Paramount Auto Group Limited Late Models and crossed the finish line after starting the race in pole position. Along with being the first Late Model win of his career, Miller's performance helped him secure his first win of this year.

Sharing her son's post to her Instagram story, Kelley Earnhardt opted to do it without a caption, allowing her son's win to speak for itself.

Miller fell short of victory at this track earlier this month when he finished second behind William Aldred in the race that took place on March 8. This time, the grandson of Dale Earnhardt and the nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr. started the race in pole, and while he lost the lead for a while, he secured the top spot in Lap 32 and held onto it for the next three laps until the checkered flag was waved.

Sharing his success on his Instagram, Miller made sure to thank his uncle and Kelley Earnhardt's Xfinity Series team, JR Motorsports, for their support.

"Second time was the charm @hickoryspeedway 🏆 Thank you so much to my team, sponsors, @jrmotorsports and @dalejr for all your support and help. We are just getting started!!"

JR Motorsports also took to their social media account to celebrate Miller's success, sharing a post about the win at a speedway that has seen earlier generations of Earnhardt race to success as well.

Ralph Earnhardt, Kelley Earnhardt's grandfather, won five championships at the Hickory Motor Speedway in the 1950s. Earnhardt Sr. and Earnhardt Jr. have raced there as well, with the Senior Earnhardt scoring wins at the track.
