Narrated by Paul Newman, this 90-minute documentary provides the most accurate presentation of Dale EarnhardtÕs career and life. This moving tribute is told through archival race footage, never-before-seen family home videos and interviews with Earnhardt himself. His fiercest competitors and most avid fans share memories of him on the track, and his closest family members and friends give insight to the man behind the Intimidator persona. The film Dale illustrates the depth of his influence in the racing world and beyond. Produced with the support and endorsement of Richard Childress Racing plus the Earnhardt family, corporation and team, Dale is a must-see movie for every fan.
Country superstar duo Brooks & Dunn host a one-hour special pre-show highlighting Dale Earnhardt's greatest comeback. The special airs only one time, so be sure and catch it.
"The movie is just amazing; I'd never seen any of it before," Earnhardt Jr. said. "If it felt behind the scenes for me, imagine how it's going to feel for the fans. It told what kind of man he was. It definitely opens him up more than he would ever have done on his own."

"Even if you're not a NASCAR fan, you're going to love to watch it because it's an inspirational story," (Richard) Childress said. "I think it'll hit home to people. He was definitely a role model."

"Non-race fans will be moved. Race fans will be moved to tears."

"He's a legend today, he's going to be forever. Everybody knew what he was like on TV and in the media, but this really gives you a look at behind the scenes, his family life, I thought it was very entertaining to see Dale, Jr. in his early days and he and Kelly in their Oakridge military regalia, and of course Martha . . . I would encourage everybody to go."
