CMT aired "Dale The Movie" last night on their cable channel. If you didn't get to see it, they are showing it again tonight at 8pm/7pm central.
My husband is a HUGE Earnhardt fan. We have a curio cabinet and acrylic display of all Dale & Dale Jr. memorabilia. Our game room in the garage is red & black, covered in the numbers 3 & 8. We have been to many Daytona races, went to the pits, bought fan packages and all and he's traveled to others on the east coast. The day Dale died was a sad, sad day in our house. Since my husband's father passed away, Dale had been a hero and inspiration to him. The Intimidator was a well known name in our house. Of course, we had to watch this.
I actually learned a lot from the movie. I didn't realize what a close relationship Dale & Richard Childress had or the bitter-sweet relationship between Dale & Darryl Waltrip. I was a little disappointed not to see Michael Waltrip telling his stories but I'm sure there was a reason behind it. And the way Jr. was portrayed as a kid dyeing for his father's affection & approval was new to me as well. I learned a lot about Earnhardt last night. I laughed a little, was ad from the memories and proud to be a fan as well. It's definitely a must see for every Nascar fan.
