DALE: Review

12/30/2011

 

He was a legend behind the wheel, he won 7 championships (6 with Richard Childress). He was loved and hated at the same time. The smirk, and character. The man was Dale Earnhardt, Senior.

DALE is a documentary film (6 disc set) on Earnhardt’s life and racing career. Its narrated by the late Paul Newman. Disc 1 is the movie. It covers his first and only win in the Daytona 500. In transition of scenes it goes to a point in the 1998 Daytona 500. Disc 1 is about 90 minutes long.

Disc 2 is Bonus Features; alternate scenes, alternate openings, bloopers, interviews with Jeff Gordon, Rusty Wallace, and Kevin Harvick to name a few.

Disc 3 is Dale’s final win in 2000 at Talladega. See the historic race with newly recorded commentary by Richard Childress his team owner and closest friend.

Disc 4 is called Dale-Tona its all the bad luck in the 500 for Dale. The years are 1986, 1990, 1997, and the year he won it (1998).

Disc 5 is a photo gallery.

Disc 6 is 2-way audio from the 1998 Daytona 500- Ride along with Dale and hear everything he heard as he communicates with the Richard Childress Racing team.

Overall, I would recommend watching this documentary film. If you are a NASCAR fan you will enjoy it.
