ESPN : Dale Earnheart 3

Anyone else catch it this weekend. It's been on all weekend since Sat night. Watched it a bit Sat night, Then watched it comepletely Later Sat night. Now I am up at damn near 3 and it's on again.

I am not a huge Nascar fan so I can't say much about it but it wasn't a bad movie and kept me watching,

I hate NASCAR, but yeah, it was a decent movie. The ending was pretty gay though, they could have done it much better.

Yeah, if you didn't know much about what happened to Dale Sr in the later year of his carreer you couldn't follow some of ot, but it was still pretty good. Matt they already have it out on DVD I guess. Saw a commercial for it on ESPN late night. That and replay will be going on all week.

BIG NASCAR fan here.

I thought it was a good depiction of his career, but had some made for tv drama added to it. Dale was a "driver's driver". Meaning that his job for every NASCAR race was to win, period. He was there to race, not whine about what rules should be in place, why you shouldn't draft too close, why you shouldn't push your way through traffic, etc, etc,....... Dale made the sport what it is today, big and powerfull. Dale loved trading paint at 200 mph. He died doing what he loved to do, while watching his son and Darrell take first & second at Daytona. It would be nearly impossible to write a better "story book" ending to an awesome career.

The dvd is supposed to have several hours of interviews with Dale from his career.
