Kelley King Earnhardt Miller (born on August 28, 1972 as Kelley King Earnhardt and formerly Kelley Earnhardt-Elledge) is an American NASCAR co-owner of JR Motorsports. She is the daughter of Dale Earnhardt. She is the vice-president of JR Motorsports which she co-owns with her brother, Dale Earnhardt Jr. The team's driver Chase Elliott won the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series title.
She learned how to drive from her father and she would drive a car around the family farm since she was about 12 or 13 years old. Earnhardt Miller raced stock cars at local tracks. Her father Dale Earnhardt reportedly said that she might be the next great driver from the Earnhardt family because of what ESPN described as her "aggression, mental toughness, a willingness to push the car to its limit". Her cousin Tony Eury, Jr. said, "She was very good at what she did. I raced her several times over at Tri-County [Racetrack in Brasstown, N.C.]. We thought she probably had as much or more talent than any of them." She raced more frequently at Hickory Motor Speedway and Myrtle Beach Speedway. Her father hired Dale, Jr. to work on her race cars, including building one from scratch, while the two were local race car drivers. She raced after graduating from University of North Carolina at Charlotte and ended her racing career in 1996 until leaving on Friday's at 2 o'clock conflicted with working full-time at Action Performance.
Earnhardt Miller co-owns JR Motorsports with her brother Dale Earnhardt, Jr., her cousin Tony Eury, Jr. and Rick Hendrick. She is credited with bringing Danica Patrick to the team's Nationwide Series car.
