Kerry Earnhardt is the older son of late stock car racing legend Dale Earnhardt. He is the half-brother of NASCARNextel Cup star Dale Earnhardt, Jr., but is yet to achieve the level of success enjoyed by his sibling. He currently competes in the second-tier Busch Series, but occasionally lands a Nextel Cup ride. He bears an uncanny resemblance to his late father, well beyond that of a typical father-son similarity.
