“Great job to the homeowners that customized this Cedar Springs floor-plan from our @earnhardtcollection ! This is bringing the outdoors in! AMAZING 🤩@schumacher_homes Porch goals + lake views = the ultimate retreat 🛶⁠.”

“Here's a closer look at the custom Cedar Springs from our Earnhardt Collection. Built by our Greensburg - Spartanburg team, this home has a walk-out basement and spacious porch to take advantage of the lakefront views.⁠ ⁠And yes, that is a golf cart garage on the lower level!” he added.

Kerry Earnhardt is Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s eldest son from his father's first wife, Latane Brown. Dale Sr., a.k.a. The Intimidator, then married Brenda Gee and had two children with her, namely Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley Earnhardt-Miller.

The late seven-time NASCAR champion also had a daughter named Taylor Nicole, whom he shared with his third wife, Teresa Houston. Only Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley Earnhardt-Miller stayed put in the stock car racing series, managing an Xfinity Series team called JR Motorsports.

“I didn't know if I would be accepted or rejected”: Kerry Earnhardt on meeting half-siblings Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley

In a 2021 episode of the Dale Jr. Download podcast, Kerry Earnhardt shared how he met his father for the first time before being introduced to his half-siblings, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley. He admitted feeling nervous, not knowing whether he would be accepted or rejected.

Back then, Kerry's mother didn't tell him about his connection to the Earnhardt family. He was nine years old when he found out about his biological father, and met him about seven years later after getting his driver's license.

Recalling the nerve-wracking family reunion, Kerry Earnhardt said:

“I finally built the courage and walked out the back door. It was... everybody laughing and clanging tools and stuff. When I opened that door, it got quiet [...] And dad was like, ‘Hey son.’ I said, ‘Hey, dad, how are you going?’ He said, ‘Good.’ And then he says, ‘Come on, let's go riding.’”

After remembering that The Intimidator told him about meeting Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley, he added:

“We had apart from 3 years old to 16 years old. I didn't know if I would be accepted or rejected.”

Kerry Earnhardt got his hands on racecars after Dale Sr. welcomed him into the family. Unfortunately, his father passed away in 2001 following a last-lap crash in the Daytona 500.
