The next generation of Earnhardt’s NASCAR legacy, Wyatt Miller clinched a major title while competing at the restricted Micro Sprint Divison of Tulsa Shootout in Oklahoma. The 12-year-old is the son of Kelly Earnhardt-Miller and LW Miller and thus the nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Miller has earned himself the nickname of ‘The Thriller’, all thanks to his exploits in dirt racing and sprint car racing events. At the event in Tulsa, he was just too good for the competition to catch up. Celebrating his first-ever Golden Driller in Restricted A Class, Dale Jr’s wife, Amy took to Instagram and shared the snaps of excited Dale Jr celebrating his nephew’s win.

The Earnhardt genes were displayed at the event where young Miller took home the win in the Gold driller event at Tulsa. In a 20-lap race, he led the whole 20 of those laps, but domination resulted from drama in the first lap. Jett Nunley was also in contention to dominate the event alongside Miller. However, a tussle between the two saw, Nunley lose control of his car and this paved the way for Miller to take the lead.
Speaking to Floracing after claiming his award, the youngster said, “No it was definitely not easy because Jett Nunley was outside of me, behind me and everywhere. But we had a really good car.” He also had a cracking answer after hearing that Nunley was not too happy with the engagement in the first lap. Miller added, “No it sort of shocked me, I don’t know what he is mad about but had a really good car.”
