Kaylynn is a superstar 🙂 So glad she works with Clay Millican

[@billclark5943]

KayLynn has developed a bigger fan following than she knows

[@waynewilliams8554]

@billclark5943. You are right. Kaylynn has proven her abilities and to have Clay as the cheerleader for the entire RWR team doesn't hurt at all. Cheers to the newly married young lady, with a long career in her chosen world of drag racing!!

[@jimhirth9684]

So impressed with her knowledge!

[@MET90LX]

And she responds to questions on Instagram! She’s definitely great for the sport.

[@Thatonesassybrunette596]

So true, I go to the Las Vegas race and saw kaylynn I said hi and said “your youtube famous” She said “thank you we try”

[@gregsimon9061]

There are some truly amazing young people coming into the sport and she is definitely one of them. I follow Clay and his team on KZbin and you really can’t ask for a better team and driver to work with.

[@BuddhaKat1]

Clay is such a nice guy and I'm so happy he's got Kaylynn on his team. As well as he's doing, she obviously knows her stuff.

[@EngineBuilder]

Both Clay and Kaylynn are awesome people.

[@dmeemd7787]

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Clay Millican cheers me up everytime I see him. Kaylynn got married recently, so all the best to her. I try and follow the Parts4Plus team as much as I can, and frankly they deserve all the success that comes their way. What a wonderful team it is. All the best to all at Parts4Plus and THANKYOU :)

[@follkiej]

Love this! I know of Kaylynn from Clays vlogs! So cool to see this!

[@ricknoah9184]

I'm glad that the team understands adjusting to your abilities and keeping you safe. Plenty to do on a top fuel car that doesn't require brute muscle. Been watching Clay's channel and always enjoy seeing you getting things done. Glad you've found a "home".

[@neilreid2298]

Good interview. Interesting. Thanks!

[@abitoffcenter383]

Yeah, Kaylynn is definitely badass and a breed apart!!

[@wagsman9999]

Love this. She would be an excellent crew chief when the time comes.

[@kennethbode2017]

I've watched a lot of Clay's videos.She is always right in the middle of it and does a great job.

[@matthewmccormick2417]

She is not only Beautiful but smart. She is every Man dream Lady.

[@turbotorana4336]

good on her for following and exceeding in her career path.

[@williamhanna2613]

I love your story clutch girl.

[@vincereynolds6092]

I'm a huge Clay Millican fan, and have enjoyed seeing Kaylynn in his videos. It's great to learn more about the amazing people in Drag Racing, and to find out how they "got there", as well as what it takes to do what they do. Great job with the interview, as you allowed HER to talk, and explain herself without interruption. Really enjoyed this. Thank you! 😊

[@yattaran1484]

Thank you for posting this awesome talk. Really enjoyed !.

[@vehdynam]

[@lesliechester7059]

Love,every aspect of her work, what a knowledge she has, ĺove to see her with clay, keep it up kaylynn, more young women should be doing what she does think clay has no 1 on car in 2024, your viewer from Canada.

[@DANIELinOREGON]

Miss Kaylynn,,im from the northwest,, Seattle is my home track so to speak,,,,im a former US Navy Seal,,,, what your talking about in team work is how its suppose to be,,,, just remember pain is only temporary ,, chaos and pain will refine your team ..... in other words when the pressure is on and your used to chaos and pain your team will rise up.... looking forward to seeing the team again.... congradulations on your and the teams success...God Bless

[@CallofDoobie585]

Oh snap shes from Lima N.Y!... Thats like 30 min away from the city. Dang you go girl!!!

[@balsumfractus]

I was at Vegas in 2017 when Terry got his first win. If I had known that Kaylynn was on the team at that time, I would have definitely checked out their pit after the race.......I did get Terry's autograph, though

[@alkennedy1124]

Kaylynn is hot to the bone, and a woman who is after my own heart with dirt car racing in her blood,thanks for the interview with her, she makes clay Millican, roll smooth down the drag strip,thanks BigAl California …

[@tbone67gthenderson78]

Kaylynn you are awesome keep on getting Clay to the win , you’re an amazing person and badass clutch lady 😂 ✌🏻💰💰

[@1rawdawg007]

Doin such a great job for the team!! Keepin Clay hooked up when he goes stompin on that loud pedal !

[@grandnattygarage7355]

She’s cool I met her a handful of times at the gator nationals every year I guess her boyfriend or fiancé or something like that is also on one of the teams. He’s a super chill dude as well not sure if they are still together

[@David-hm9ic]

Among Clay's fans Kaylynn is a rock star!

[@johnboywaltonbeard4699]

Kaylynn is Terrific! I would compare her to Kim LaHaie Richards. I was there for the win in St Louis 2023! Great job! And the fact that she is from Central NY, same area as myself! We love Kaylynn!

[@frediefarmer]

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽awesome lady.. good luck in goin forward in your career

[@markfuchs9385]

......We all love Kaylynn.....

[@757warbirds]

I've seen you doing your thing at the track, awesome job.

[@leedouglass9636]

Wow you two,my dad was from Wolcott New York

[@leedouglass9636]

Cool

[@brianiswrong]

I hope she gets to licence a fuel car if she wants to and gets the chance. As a clutch specialist ,she has a ' as yet" undiscovered mechanical understanding through the seat of her pants when driving. Lots of fuel drivers came from a clutch background.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

Hey she's on Clays team, right? I like her!

[@EngineBuilder]

You're correct

[@shaneswayze6228]

Awesome.

[@mhendricks7253]

Clay and crew are very lucky to have you. I read that you would like someday be a crew chief. I can see that happening.

[@meatwad3000]

Hey Kaylynn❤❤❤

[@kev4fun12]

Kool, Smart Lady.!

[@onefirequacker2733]

green light for crew chief, go go go

[@CallofDoobie585]

She will be next Austin Coil!!!

[@scarter176]

Good clutch hand

[@CraigMullins1]

:)

[@goodguystu]

Thank goodness she carried this interview, cause the guy asking the questions sucked.

[@terrellwashington8507]

What a turn on... She's feminine and can tune a 12,000hp vehicle. You Rock... Btw great questions Sir.

[@Edward135i]

Who's Kaylynn? that's Bruce.

[@ctlt-pg4tm]

I love the pits Kaylynn. Not so much the over glam Kaylynn. We know you are a woman

[@gteefxr3094]

Is your jaw wired or something?

[@Profabdesigns]

Ok, I am 62, and have a daughter about her age. So when did these young women start wearing stripper eye lashes as a fashion statement? What the hell is going on here, I could almost feel the wind every time she blinked. This is not a good look. She is a very talented woman, so focus on that not the looks. IMHO

[@jimkaray]

62 then i would think you might remember fashion from the 1960's.
