Kerry Earnhardt is supposed to drive DEI #8 tonight in the Nationwide race. Any thoughts?

Question

espn - nascar link

Answer 1

Kerry?He ain't Jr. The names the same, the game ain't!!!!

Answer 2

He'll finish in the top 20.

Answer 3

Yes, I do have a thought.   He will wreck.  He can't drive for beans.  The track is slick and bumpy this time around.

If you think Dale Jr. is overrated, which he is at some tracks, Kerry just has NO TALENT what so ever.  I can't wait for tonight's race.

This Earnhardt can NOT drive. Period!  I am surprised they let him near Daytona.

Answer 4

As long as he stays away from his brother on track it's all good..

But seriously, I hope that he does well..

:-)

Answer 5

My thoughts...he'll go around in circles (ovals, actually), turning left

Answer 6

stay clear of the 8 car

Answer 7

I THINK HE WILL DO REALLY WELL HE STARTS IN THE TOP 10

Answer 8

Kerry sounds like he has the spirit of Kyle Busch inside him.

I'll have to watch the race.

Answer 9

i hope he doesn't get in too many people's way.

Answer 10

Pretty sad really, when DEI has several drivers in need of seat time(Smith,Almirola), and they use Kerry Earnhardt.

Answer 11

He looks like his dad,but he sure don`t drive like him.

Teresea probably drives better.

Answer 12

I'm glad to see him out there. I believe he qualified 10th.

I think he has run like 7 Nationwide races at Daytona so he is certainly qualified.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Answer 13

Yeah, apparently whoever decided this has never seen him drive.  I hate to say that, being a JR fan but he really cannot drive, which if you watch the Nationwide race tonight, you can witness for yourself.  Some might argue that he qualified well.  Anyone, even my cat, could qualify well at Daytona.  He apparently didn't inherit the same genes as JR.  JR knows how to drive.  He's tried this before in the Nationwide/Busch series years ago and I used to cringe every time he was near Jr, like "please don't wreck, please don't wreck".  I don't know why they would give him another chance but then again, look at who's running DEI.  Not exactly the brightest crayon in the box.

Answer 14

Wreck.....Thats my thought...

Answer 15

he'll probably finish mid pack

Answer 16

I think it's kool that he has a ride in the race tonight.  Everybody needs to stop comparing him, Jr. and Sr.  Each is/was their own person, with their own style of driving.  Kerry doesn't seem to have the passion for driving that a lot of drivers have, but he could do allright if given a chance.  I hope he finishes well.

Go Jr.>>>>

Answer 17

Supercool...2 Earnhardts in a race thats great. Maybe in a yr there could be 3, Jeffrey wow that'd be awesome...Hope Dale Jr & Kerry have a great race...and I sure hope Brad Keselowski gets the win tonight....But its great to see Kerry back out there, wow the older he gets the more he looks like Sr..

Go Dale Jr & Hms & Jr Motorsports

Answer 18

YES!!! I've been waiting for him to drive ever since he was fired from his ride in the Truck series. In my opinion, if Kerry had a decent ride he could perform well. After all, he was a pretty darn good racer in the ARCA series.

Answer 19

No doubt about who got the oval genes in the family, I guess. I don't know if Kerry just isn't serious, flat out can't drive, or hopes his name will save him. d**n if he don't look like Sr. But that doesn't put a car in Victory Lane. I'm willing to give anyone a chance, we'll just have to see, I guess.

Answer 20

He finished 14th, congrats to him! It's like seeing The Instigator again seeing his kid back.
