Really classy and made right with lots of people you know and some insights about how much of a stand up guy, Dale was! The people's people. A must for Dale and Nascar fans!

Dale Earnhardt - The Movie (Narrated by Paul Newman) 6 Disc Collectible TIN Set
only authorized film about the life of Dale Earnhardt
Details:
Actors: Dale Earnhardt
Format: Color, NTSC, Dolby, Closed-captioned
Language: English
Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only. Read more about DVD formats.)
Number of discs: 6
Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Studio: Nascar Images
Run Time: 99 minutes (Disc 1)
Disc 1 - The documentary movie
Disc 2 - Deleted Scenes, bloopers, extras, an alternate beginning and ending, interviews with the man himself, etc.
Disc 3 - The full 2000 Winston 500, which was of course, Dale's last race. This also includes commentary with
Richard Childress, which I believe is actually on a condensed version of the race.
Disc 4 - Dale-Tona: Shows the highlights of his 1986, 1990, 1997, and 1998 efforts. The thing I love about it,
especially '98, is how it comes in its original format, as in it comes with the CBS logo, the graphics, etc. A lot of
times when they have a race on DVD it cuts a lot of that out, but it's still intact on here, which is just a little
thing that enhances the viewing experience.
Disc 5 - A photo gallery, and a 20-minute documentary, "The Making of DALE." The photo gallery is especially
nice, because again, it's not like something that is on a lot of DVD's where it's just pictures and you scroll
through, but it has background music and transitions between the pictures. The documentary is pretty cool too.
Disc 6 - The full version of the 1998 Daytona 500, with a separate condensed version which has all the major
two-way audio that occurred during the race between Earnhardt and his team.
And the case itself is packed, with a print-out of an actual '98 Daytona 500 ticket and the full results/point
standings. Another nice touch. 41st Daytona 500 Official Souvenir Program and a DALE #3 Decal. All of this
along with an official signed letter from Teresa Earnhardt (DEI) and Richard Childress (RCR) stating that this is
the only authorized film about the life of Dale Earnhardt. # 857,746 of 1,500,000
Very well done, and it was really the truly the way it should have been completed...
Excellent documentary on a legend.
This self made, hardworking, hard charging man made quite an impression on my life. This is an excellent
documentary on the man who started with so little and later became what some call "a real life superhero". It
documents very well Dale's life on and off the track. Lot's of interviews with family, friends, competitors, and
even of Dale himself. Also included are the full versions of the 1998 Daytona 500 and the 2000 Winston 500
which next to NC State's 1983 NCAA Basketball championship, may be the most astonishing finish I've ever seen.
Dale came from 17th spot in 4 laps to grab his final WC win. The movie, all the extra's and all the rare interviews
make the price of this set an absolute steal to any NASCAR fan.
