This review is from: Espn Ultimate Nascar-Volume 5-Families (DVD)

Has alot of informative stories I didn't know about with the petty's, Earnhardt's, and the allison's. Lots of emotion put into this video, and hard work. I was surrpised to hear new stories from the drivers that I've never heard before. Then also on this disc is the great classic race footage:
1969 National 500
1972 southern 500
1990 valleydale 500
1966 sportsman 250
1989 Peak Performance 500
2004 daytona 500
1977 Firecracker 400
1990 Goodwrench 400

I was very happy to see ESPN do this again on a dvd! Because once I learned these races were on this disc, thats why I bought this dvd and know alot of other people I know would think the same way.

The races are no more than 25 mins long the 1977 firecracker 400 is the shortest at 10 mins but if ESPN is reading this just a few words to know More classic races and keep the orignal lenght because I know the 77 firecracker 400 would of been around 30mins in lenght because thats how abc did it. But what can I say its better than nothing keep up the good work ESPN Home Entertainment!

This review is from: Espn Ultimate Nascar-Volume 5-Families (DVD)

many different stories from NASCAR's beginning until today, skillfully interwoven featuring NASCAR's greatest families the Pettys, Allisons and Earnhardts. Exclusive interviews with Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Darrell Waltrip, Humpy Wheeler, Kyle and Pattie Petty, Donnie Allison, Ed Hinton, Tom Higgins, Junior Johnson, Liz Allison (Davey Allison's widow) and Martha Earnhardt as well as many others including more family members from the Pettys, Allisons and Earnhardts. this is an emotional tearjerker which is a must have for any real NASCAR fan, whether new to the sport fans or old school, lifelong fans, all will get total enjoyment and want to rewatch this video over and over. this is one video that gets better each time you watch it. if there was a way to rate it more than 5 stars this DVD would get it. narrated by Dr. Jerry Punch.
