Product Description

Based on a forthcoming major ESPN movie event, 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story blends rare photographs with real-life stories to create a lasting tribute to one of America's great sports icons ninth-grade dropout, son of a hard-driving father, Dale Earnhardt endeared himself to millions of Americans with his fearlessness, his dogged pursuit of victory, and his down-home Southern charm. Nicknamed 'The Intimidator,' he bumped, banged, and bullied his way to seven Winston Cup championships in fifteen years-a feat equaled only by the great Richard Petty. In a finale befitting a legend, Earnhardt died in February 2001 on the last turn of the last lap of NASCAR's greatest race, the Daytona 500.

I Became a Dale Earnhardt fan in 1988, first year of the Goodwrench Sponsorship. Didn't know much about him before '88, this movie gave a great perspective on his early life and what shaped him. I was at Daytona in '01 and this American Hero is missed very much by our family!

My brother recently died and he was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan. Well, I didn't really like him but because my brother did I decided to watch the movie. I loved it. I grew up around racing with my brother and don't live but about 5 miles from the Talladega track in Alabama. I highly recommend this movie.

Good Book, Short reading, Pictorial. Of the greatest Nascar Driver Ever, and I am not a Huge Nascar fan, especially Since Dale Sr. Passing, I do like Dale Jr. and some others, But I don't follow it,**I am A Chevy Guy**. I am more of a Road Racing And Drag Racing Fan, Nonetheless, I haven't seen the movie yet as of this writing but a preview, But I do have this book and Feel it's great for any Racing Fans Or Dale Fans, Sad He's no longer with Us.
