Nascar and CMT to Produce Earnhardt Documentary
June 13th, 2006
NASCAR Images and CMT Films are teaming up to produce “Dale,” the first authorized documentary about the late racing icon Dale Earnhardt, to be released theatrically early next year.
Narrated by Paul Newman, the film will enjoy a unique rollout, opening in select cities on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series circuit beginning in February, which coincides with the start of the 2007 Nextel Cup season.
“Dale” will then air on cable channel Country Music Television in the third quarter of 2007 and will be released on DVD following the CMT premiere.
The film will include archival race footage, rare outtakes, never-before-seen home videos and interviews with Earnhardt’s friends, family, competitors and fans.
“This film provides an incredible opportunity to reach the very audience that Dale’s life and legacy mean so much to,” said Jeff Yapp, executive vice president for program enterprises at CMT parent MTV Networks. “We’ll create large event screenings in Nextel Cup Series markets preceding a race weekend, with the goal of creating an event atmosphere more like a live concert than a traditional movie screening.”

Yeah but it was a "movie" persay, this is going to be a film full of commentary and real life footage of Dale..."3" the movie was all actors and they left out alot of stuff about his life.......

I am still excited to see anything Dale Earnhardt, nomatter how many they make lol

Well said. ESPN is trying to be the HBO for sports movies... but the production values are consistently lower. Now, a big-screen Earnhardt movie would be great.

Never was a huge fan of his, but any Nascar movie is always a good time to watch. He had an interesting life, so whether you loved him or hated him.. I would still give it a shot.
