He's the 30-year president of Earnhardt Auto Centers, a business founded by his dad Tex Earnhardt 60 years ago and now comprised of 11 Valley dealerships. He's been a thoroughbred horse breeder since 1990. And for the last year and a half, the 55-year-old has taken to hurtling down a rodeo arena at 30 miles per hour on a 1,200-pound horse.
Earnhardt is a team roper in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association - a pursuit he returned to last year after more than 30 years away from competing. He and his roping partner Victor Aros, 40, won the Pro Rodeo team roping event at the annual World's Oldest Continuous Rodeo in Payson last month. The win qualified them for the Turquoise Circuit Finals rodeo, which begins Sept. 29."
