Latane Brown’s first son Kerry shares a striking resemblance with his father, Dale. Although Dale was absent during his formative years, Kerry did not only look like him but also followed his footsteps career-wise.

Teresa later won an appeal that required the US Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to clarify whether Brown’s son should use the name in his ‘Te Earnhardt Collection‘ or not.

Kerry’s father Dale was keen on family business and so he hired his family members to work on his race teams and his race teams and his shops and other business ventures as well. Contrary to what he believed his wife tends to share different views.
