Kelley Earnhardt Net Worth $50 Million
Kelley Earnhardt hails from a racing family, as the daughter of Brenda Gee and Dale Earnhardt, a famous racer; her brother is Dale Earnhardt, Jr., also a professional stock car racing driver. Thus, she learnt to drive when she was 12 years old, soon driving stock cars at local tracks. Upon matriculation, she enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, from which she graduated with a BA degree in Business Administration. Before graduation she raced at Myrtle Beach Speedway and Hickory Motor Speedway, but after college her racing career was ended, and she began pursuing career in the other field of sports industry.
Hence, Kelley’s professional career began in 1996, when she was hired by Action Performance, a NASCAR merchandising company which sells souvenirs, where she worked as the vice president of procurement, and the vice president of sales. Her net worth was established.
Nevertheless, she moved to the family company JR Motorsports in 2001, becoming its general manager and the vice president. At that time her brother competed in the XFINITY Series championships, so she helped him to expand his career. At the beginning the company worked with souvenirs, but later Kelley turned it into a race team, signing with Hendrick Motorsports, which also added a considerable amount to her net worth. The first win for the team came in 2004 at Moto Mile Speedway in Radford. In 2010, Kelley became the co-owner of the team, alongside her brother. At the present time, the team competes in the Camping World Truck Series and the Xfinity Series, and has one of its youngest champions in Chase Elliott.
Thanks to her accomplishments, Kelley has won a number of recognitions and business awards, including the Top 25 Women in Business Achievement Award by Charlotte Business Journal in 2007, and in 2010 she was the Opportunity Award winner by Lyn St. James’ Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation.
When it comes to speak about her personal life, Kelley Earnhardt has been married to retired NASCAR driver L.W. Miller III since January of 2011; the couple has one child together. Previously, she was married to Ray Holm, and Jimmy Elledge(1999-2008) with whom she has two daughters. In free time, she works at The Dale Jr. Foundation.
