Hailie Deegan opens up about racing career with Kyle Petty (FULL INTERVIEW) | Motorsports on NBC

[@SteveLowe65]

I love how Kyle treats her as a peer, and how comfortable she seems talking with him. This is a GREAT tête-à-tête style interview.

[@theoriginalshew]

@Alan formula1 I remember how people hated him for saying that about Danica

[@jubelet]

@Alan formula1 He said she (Danica) could drive fast, but wasn't a racer.

[@blipco5]

KP is cool and a great ambassador for the sport also.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Danica Patrick was famous before she raced Indy cars. She got moved up to cup because she was famous, had a sponsor already, and had millions of fans. She was not ready at all to race in nascar and especially not cup level. But she made herself and nascar a lot of money.

[@JBtheExplorer]

Kyle's great. He never talks down to people, never talks bad about people, but he also keeps it real. I'm glad he's on the media side of the NASCAR, because it'd be a shame if he wasn't apart of this sport.

[@bryanwilliams4620]

I used to watch NASCAR when Kyle was racing. He does a great job on these interviews and he is good person. I had a nephew that was terminally ill with leukemia and loved NASCAR. His family sent several letters to drivers at the time to try to get them to meet him or get a response to help the boy's morale. Kyle Petty is the ONLY one that responded, with a card and hand written message. My nephew died his Senior year of high school. Thank You Kyle.

I was pretty successful locally, but, my daughter had FANS! It was pretty funny watching the boys in her class literally cry when we rolled her car out of the trailer. They all knew that when that neon pink mini slingshot, with The Powerpuff Girls painted on the cowl and "Girl Power" on the sides showed up, they were gonna run 2nd TO A GIRL!

Hallie said she was in no hurry and rather wait two or three years to get the seat time before moving up. When she does make that move her fan base will already be established. She has a great Temperament also. Dale Jr and his sister showed Hallie great respect and you could see Dale JR’s respect for her grow during the interview.

This is like passing of the guard form me. Grew up watching the Petty's and the Earnhardt's. Deegan seems to have the same "it" factor. Danica Patrick, bless her heart. I see a lot of people saying she didn't want to win. That's BS, their isn't a single person who climbs behind the wheel of a legit race car that doesn't want to win. That's just stupid. Danica didn't have the right combination of attitude and tools to move her to that next level. You could always see how disappointed she was. She wanted it too bad maybe. Deegan on the other hand, was born with the tools and daddy Deegan helped whip up that attitude. I agree that it is harder to make someone aggressive then it is to have them dial it back. If she can find that right combination, she will be on Coffee with Kyle in no time.

I think the problem with danica was that she spent too much time in open wheel then quickly jumped into cup. You could see with some of her crashes that she didnt break some of the open wheel habits.
