Happy to see Dale has really found a niche. He is a great interviewer.

[@jonathonpoloski917]

To think, when he raced, you could tell he hated doing interviews. Lol

[@MrJumping89]

He seems like a great businessman.

[@reimersorama]

You can tell she hates to be compared to to Danica... completely different drivers

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

I would be too.. Danica never won a championship Lucas off road trucks. Danica never won a Nascar race K&N west winner 3x.. What I love is she is Hailie Deegan not Danica! I think Kelly likes that to!!!!!

[@ShereeAshleyArend]

They never compared her to Danica, Kelley said I lived vicariously through Danica when she was in the series.

[@retroguy1976]

but Kelly made a good point she shoulda stayed in the xfinity series a bit longer than the quick jump to cup but would that have helped Danica dunno

[@Rob_Moilanen]

Danica never raced on dirt, Hailie has never raced open wheel, there is no comparison to be made.

This is the kind of girl that we need as a role model in Nascar. She knows what's up. Gonna be keeping an eye on your career, Ms. Deegan. Best of luck and I hope you do make it!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

What's so great about her is she's so open and doesn't have a trash mouth like Danica Patrick. She also doesn't blame everyone else when things don't go her way.

it wont happen since jrm is chevy based and hailie is a toyota racing development driver so she gonna go to kbm in the trucks when she is ready and probably jgr in the xfinity as well as jgr in the cup serieis as well

[@KK-ex5zu]

I'm happy to see that Dale Jr and Kelley, especially Kelley have taken an interest to Hailie Deegan as a legit driver. Kelley said in a Coffee with Kyle Petty interview that if Hailie was to be brought in the right way up through the top 3 ranking series, she could be successful in Cup racing. I think Hailie has a bright future ahead of her if the right business decisions are made and if she works her ass off on the track!
