NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt's grandson Wyatt Miller competed in the highly anticipated racing event, the Tulsa Shootout held at the SageNet Center at Expo Square, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Following an impressive day in Tulsa, Miller reflected on his experience and shared a post on his social media.

Miller is the son of Kelley Earnhardt Miller, who was one of two children from Earnhardt Sr.'s second marriage. Racing is in the bloodline of the Earnhardts. 13-year-old Miller competed in two races on the first day of the Tulsa Shootout. In his first race, the FuelTech Race 32, Dale Sr.'s grandson secured P1 in the Non-Wing Outlaw division. Moreover, he crossed the start-finish line in P2, second to Austin Torgerson in the FuelTech Race 96 of the Winged A-Class.

Following a near-perfect day at the SageNet Center, Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s nephew shared a few snaps from the event and reflected on his impressive results. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

"Another good day at the Tulsa Shootout. Picked up the heat win in Outlaw Non-Wing and finished P2 in my Winged A-Class heat. Ready to get back after it tomorrow 👊🏼 #TulsaShootout | #DrillerSzn | @tufcoflooring | @BassProShops | @BrandtRacing | Odle’s Special Touch Collision Repair | @_CBIndustries | Apex Chassis."

The Earnhardt family is one of the most famous and historic families in the history of American motorsports. Seven-time Cup Series champion Dale Earnhardt set the precedence after an illustrious career in NASCAR. In his NASCAR career, the Hall of Famer secured 76 Cup wins alongside 21 Xfinity Series victories.

Moreover, Dale Sr.'s son Dale Earnhardt Jr. made his NASCAR debut in the Busch Series in 1996. He claimed back-to-back Xfinity championships in 1998 and 1999 and amassed 50 victories across NASCAR's top two divisions.

Wyatt Miller's mother Kelley Earnhardt Miller and her brother Dale Jr. co-own NASCAR team JR Motorsports, which recently secured the 2024 Xfinity Series title with #7 driver Justin Allgaier.
