Kerry Earnhardt, who spent most of the Busch Series season with Fitz-Bradshaw Racing, said he recently reached a settlement with the team, which released him from his driving duties in the #12 Chevrolet in July. Earnhardt said he is exploring several options for next season, with the most likely one a move to the NASCAR Truck series. “I have gotten a few opportunities in the Trucks and if I jump into it, it will be some competitive equipment,” he said. “There have been a few things in Busch, too.” Earnhardt said his hands were tied somewhat in looking for a new job while he waited for his settlement to be completed with Fitz-Bradshaw. “I wasn’t going to do anything to mess things up. I decided when things were finally settled, I would start looking again.”(ThatsRacin.com)(10-9-2003)
UPDATE: FitzBradshaw Racing and driver Kerry Earnhardt say they have mutually agreed to end their contract. The team replaced Earnhardt, the eldest son of the late Dale Earnhardt, as the driver of its #12 Chevrolet following the Chicago race in July.(Winston Cup Scene Daily Newsletter)(10-15-2003)
