The Earnhardt kids are building a motorsports complex in Alabama. Check out the link below.
My first thought was, ok, cool, sounds awesome.
Then at the end it tells the name of the development.
Um, a little one sided, don't you think? Here it says that Jr., Kelly and Kerry are all involved, but the name only mentions Jr.
Shouldn't it be "Earnhardt Family"

Name recognition, that's all. More people are inclined to be interested with Dale Jr's name being linked to it.
I agree, though. In the long run that won't be as important and to just using the name 'Earnhardt' should be sufficient.

Yes I've heard about that.
And it is not one sided that they are using Dale Jr's name. After all, he is the most recognizable out of the Earnhardt children and he more likely is putting up most of the money for the project.
Kelly and Kerry prefer to stay in the back, they don't like all the press.

i'm sure it was all a mutal decision between them all. for example, kelly does a lot with dei, but you don't hear about her.why?? i'm thinking perhaps b/c she is all about keeping quiet and in the background. probably not a big deal, esp since people know dale eanrhardt jr..but would be like who the heck is kerry earnhardt..

Well all their last names are Earnhardt why wouldn't they call it that. Why would they call it Jr. Kelly and Kerry's place?
