    If I was Kerry I'd just put on a Goodwrench hat and a pair of Gargoyles and walk around the track on weekends. He don't need a blood test to prove who his daddy was.

    Kerry Earnhardt looks SO much like Dale Sr. In my opinion, Dale Jr looks more like his grandfather, Ralph. Dale Sr is more heavy- boned whereas Ralph looks more small- boned. Earnhardts!!! Kerry even has some of his dad's mannerism's. His smile the same but he smiled more. I'm so glad Kerry found himself his place in the family.

Hopefully he will one day know that his dad really did love him very much. Dale Jr should know that his brother does admire him, you can see it in Kelly's eyes. But i love Dale Sr ever since I first watched racing. He was a awesome driver. And he will always be one of the greatest of all. Miss you Dale Sr.

      This is a perfect way to say how I feel about Dale Sr. after maturing into a man. He was my hero as a kid, but I lost a lot of respect for how he abandoned his kids and allowed Teresa to influence and manipulate him so much. You can tell me all the heartfelt stories you want about him helping fellow competitors in secret, but the fact that he chose racing over his children hits me different as a father myself.

    I went to an autograph signing with Kerry 20 years or so ago at a dealership in Memphis when he drove for Aaron's. As they were setting up Kerry came out to check the crowd. He was wearing his sunglasses and a ballcap. Kerry leans against a pillar and folds his arms, just standing there. An immediate hush fell over the crowd. Kerry's silhouette was striking. You could feel the collective goosbumps we all had because it was Dale. It was amazing. Kerry was awesome to talk to, very nice. He signed a couple of cars I brought and as he and were talking, he even took my son's Aaron's cap (that was mine when I used to work for them) and signed it. My son got so tickled Kerry did that. He thought it was coolest thing ever. GOOD TIMES👍

    No offense to Jr., just physical attributes that people cannot control.
    As for character, and controllable aspects of a person, Dale Jr. is in the very top tier.

    I just keep imagining what it would have been like for Dale to keep running DEI and Jr. , Kerry, and Kelly racing for him. Sucks we didn't get to witness and enjoy that happen.
    Instead, we lost Dale, and the wicked witch destroyed everything.
    I didn't know anything about Kerrys life and how that all happened .Im so happy he go to finally meet his real dad and grandma and Dale kerry and the rest of the family. I got close to Dale Jr. and lived together for a while.
    I got to meet Kerry when i worked at lowes Home Improvement store, and kerry came to the flooring department for i think grout and i immediately recognized him and said hey Kerry and we talked about racing for a few minutes and about Jr and Dale their dad. That was really cool for me being such a big Earnhardt fan because of Dale Sr.
    I never knew how the home building thing with Kerry & his wife worked out, so i was happy to hear they won that and the ability to use the Earnhardt name because kerry is am Earnhardt.
    Awesome podcast, yall. It's just amazing to hear all the stories
