“His mouth don't work”: When Dale Earnhardt Jr. recalled hilarious incident involving step-brother Kerry Earnhardt

Retired NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. has brought a litany of guests onto his show "Dale Jr. Download" over the years that had significant impacts on both his personal and professional life. Back in 2021, the 26-time Cup Series winner welcomed his older brother, Kerry, onto the show.

Dale Jr. and Kerry discussed a litany of topics, including when the latter first met their father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., and stories about being roommates. One of the stories the two brothers recalled involved Kerry's wife, René, and her daughter from a previous marriage, Blade, who was three years old at the time of the story. Dale Jr. doesn't remember many stories, but he remembers the young Blade making a humorous joke about how quiet he was. He said:

"They're all in the living room and talking and Kerry told me this later. She was asking like, 'Who's that boy in that room? Who's that boy in that room?' They're like, 'That's Dale, that's my brother,' She goes, 'His mouth don't work.'" (57:14 onwards)

Dirty Mo Media, a media company owned by Earnhardt that produces podcasts including "Dale Jr. Download," has recently been uploading past DJD video episodes to their entirety. Viewers can now watch the DJD in full video format rather than clips. A few of the recent guests in the full video uploads include Kerry Earnhardt, John Force, and Ty Norris.

Kerry competed in NASCAR from 1998-2006, most notably on a part-time basis for Richard Childress Racing in the Cup Series in 2005. He most recently competed in the Xfinity Series in 2009, when he drove for Rick Ware Racing. While he never won a race in any three of NASCAR's national touring series, Earnhardt registered six career top 10s in the Xfinity Series.
