"There's got to be something in it for everyone" - Kelley Earnhardt on working at JRM

In a clip of the MotorVate podcast on 'Skinner Round-Up,' Kelley Earnhardt spoke about her life balance with JR Motorsports and her son racing, with host Angie Skinner.

"Well, there's got to be something in it for everyone, you know. So, you know, I think about that at JR Motorsports quite often... What is this going to mean to our employees? What is this going to mean to this person? What is this going to mean to a driver, a team, a dad, or whatever? You know, the scenario, and you need to check all the boxes because everybody has to have an investment into it, right?" (07:13 onwards)

Kelley graduated from the University of North Carolina. She worked as the vice president of sales and vice president of procurement at Action Performance before joining JR Motorsports in the early 2000s. She also shared her thoughts on doing the work without focusing on money and said:

"I mean it's not always about money. It's not always about money... Obviously, you know, you may not be in a position to do it forever without a sponsor but you’ve got to have that leap of faith. And, you know, you have to show the world the reason why they should believe in it, right? And so, that's what you're doing."

Kelley Earnhardt is a mother to three children. Her youngest son, Wyatt Miller, recently won a pavement race in his second start, driving a Limited Late Model at Hickory Motor Speedway. The 13-year-old finished second in his first race and started this one in front. Miller also won his first Golden Driller trophy in 2023.
