25th anniversary of Dale's win. 75th year of NASCAR. 65th running of the Daytona 500.
Superspeedway racing offers a truly unique cinematic and dramatic experience. Crazy kinetic energy.
you could tell dale he was gonna die on the final lap that day and he would say “the final lap? that means it’s gonna be a good race then”, and get in that car with a smile on his face.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
There was never a better way to end this than Mikey and Jr celebrating on top of the car at the Pepsi 400.
Lackluster as I remembered. How is this the only major piece of documentary content focused on this? It’s wide open for an actual storyteller.
I did it for Dale
watching this dvd is surreal. How a dvd from 2007 looks like 4k is beyond me.
pouring out my coke zero for dale tonight
what more could i ask for than an earnhardt doc narrated by paul newman
again. just what a guy. really endeared by his daytona win and just seeing all those pit crews lining up to say their congrats. that kind of sportsmanship warms my heart
It’s been a long time since I saw the Rory
Karpf produced documentary on the late Dale Earnhardt, an icon in the world of NASCAR stock car racing and man…it’s still a great documentary if you’re into NASCAR like I am. Paul Newman’s narration in it is what also sells it for me, as the former race car driver and actor still did a good job narrating this little look into the late icon’s life.
Overall, I’d recommend it to any casual NASCAR fan or hardcore fan or someone who’s starting to become a fan of the stock car racing scene, NASCAR included.
I’ve only known of this man through stories from family members that got to see him race in person and actually meet him. I just never knew too much about him. After this I think it’s safe to say he’s earned his status as racing legend. Definitely makes me take NASCAR more seriously.
Raise Hell. Praise Dale.
