Kerry Earnhardt's First Memories of Meeting His Dad & Stories From Being Dale Jr.'s Roommate

This conversation was an instant classic. From 2021, Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes his brother Kerry Earnhardt for an honest conversation about Kerry’s childhood, meeting his father, and living with Dale Jr.

Along with co-host Mike Davis, Dale and Kerry Earnhardt fill in the gaps about his childhood that Junior never knew. The eldest Earnhardt son details his family situation from a young age when Dale Sr. left the picture, and what life was like growing up with no knowledge of his other family.

Find out what Dale did in the middle of the night that pissed Kerry off. Who caused the phone bill to be so damn high? They explain. The two also swap stories about working together at the dealership, including the time Dale Jr. got fired.

As Kerry then secured an opportunity to race at Dale Earnhardt Inc., find out how it all came shockingly crashing down the night of his father’s death. Find out what Kerry has been up to since moving on from his racing career, including details about the legal battle he faced trying to use the rights to his last name with his Earnhardt Outdoors brand. Then the guys crack open some cold ones to end the show and promote the launch of Kerry’s new beer.

Grandma is the hero in all this. Her caring enough to go to Kerrys ball games to watch from a distance shows how much of an amazing human she is. If not for her!

[gregfaircloth]

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.

[mattkelly]

As a life long Earnhardt, Earnhardt Jr and DEI fan this podcast is priceless.

[jackiek]

Kerry’s resemblance to his dad is striking. This was the best episode! I really enjoyed it!

[Dirtydeff]

In my opinion this was the best episode ever of the Dale Jr Download. Learned so much that I didn't know and it also made me appreciate the journey Kerry went through. I was so happy that they let the audience in on what would normally be a private matter

[debrawardlaw]

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.

[KathyEilbeck]

Its like looking at dale sr and it's amazing how much Kelly looks just like his Dad. I hope he knows that he is a walking double of dale sr. 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.

Man so I'm from California, 54 years old black man, I loved sr I love jr. My perception of Kerry and jrs relationship was always there was some kind of friction... All my years.. omg they absolutely love each other and I'm a Kerry fan from now on!!!

[Joelontugs]

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve listened to this from start to finish and this is the coolest story on all of YouTube

[Terrancem]

This is Dale's best podcast episode yet. Kerry is a great man and so easy going. I could listen to him and Dale talk all day long.

[mazekaos]

I think jr needs to have another podcast with Kerry and Kelley together would be great

Man Never Thought Of Seeing Kerry And Dale Jr Together In One Video

Long Live Dale Sr My Childhood Hero 🙏🏼

[MelissaMalzahn]

Its great seeing brothers together. Kerry looks just like Dale Sr. ❤

[mr.intensity]

This is great. Hats off to Mr. Key for being there for Kerry, and hats off to Dale, Sr for taking the time to get to know Kerry. I adopted my son, but he's on seen his biological dad once, when he was 5 months old. He's 22 today with 2 older siblings that he's never met.

[deansutherland]

This is beautiful. Im Kinda emotional.
I have a Dale Earnhardt picture I've carried across 🇨🇦 in dec 2000. A gift from my neice☺️
(Feb 2001😓, then 911😓) I was thousands of miles from home working in the oil patch. I carried my Dale Earnhardt picture around since 1994.

The picture is called "Reflections"
And reads, , , " Looking back, knowing you gave it your all, win or lose, you finish a Champion"🫡
It's hangin in my kitchen as I write☺️

[springpro]

All the affection SR showed to competitors over the years juxtaposed with how he treated his own kids is such a fascinating dichotomy of man.

[rodneyjackson]

I met Kerry at an autograph session at a Car-Mart in Rogers, Arkansas. The number 33 RCR Bass Pro Shops was the car with him. He signed my cap. Nice guy.

[Aaronthinfantry]

Love hearing Kerry! This is awesome! Kerry is Dale made over.

[hellraizer]
