Kerry Earnhardt career over

Kerry Earnhardt

Kerry Earnhardt hasn't competed in a NASCAR race since July 2009, and the 41-year-old driver wants to do what he loves. That means he wants to spend his time outdoors, but not necessarily at the race track.

The oldest son of the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. still hopes to have a connection to racing but hopes it's through drivers appearing on the outdoors television show he's working on or at the track when son Jeffrey is racing. But with 106 starts in NASCAR's three national series – seven in Cup, 72 in Nationwide and 27 in trucks – Earnhardt doesn't expect to have another one.

"I do get bored a little bit," Earnhardt said. "I still have the thought [to race] but I just don't have the desire to drive. You can attribute it back to a lot of opportunities that I had that weren't successful, they weren't competitive opportunities. Scene Daily
