i think Chance 2 is gone....but DEI surely could have put him in a DEI busch car.

I dont think its right, but Kerry just never seemed to have gotten the chances that Jr got at DEI. Dale Sr had him running in the ARCA series and winning races before he passed, after that, nothing really developed with him.
 
A good KE article
Kerry Earnhardt, however, had a different plan when he dropped out of high school to get married and have the first of two sons.

"I got a job in a textile mill and later on I worked at my dad’s automobile dealership," he said. "I loved racing, but I didn’t want to go traveling around to tracks and leaving my family alone for days and nights at a time. That stuff can be hard on a family.

"I wanted to pay the bills and get established. I also wanted to see my kids grow up. I didn’t want to miss anything. My family never wanted for anything, either."

"I started my racing late, but I think it made me a better person," he said. "I lived week by week at times. I had to work side jobs cutting grass and fixing my neighbor’s car just to pay the rent.

"I think that has made me respect people more. I can appreciate these fans that pay so much for tickets. A lot of them save every single day of the year so they can go racing. For some, a race like this is a trip of a lifetime because of the experience."

"I’ve seen baseball games, class plays and a lot of my kids’ firsts," Earnhardt said. "I wouldn’t trade that for anything. I enjoy being me. I don’t care that I’m not famous. I don’t put on shows. I’m not jealous of Dale. He has earned everything he has got. People have no idea how hard he worked to get where he’s at."
