Awesome Movie

3:The Dale Earnhardt Story had not been a widely advertised movie, to be truthful it hadnt been advertised at all around here, and that to me really is a shame, because it is a lot better movie then a lot of the crap that they're putting out nowadays.

I myself am a stock car driver, and who else do i look up to other then Dale Earnhardt himself, on the track I've lived by the quote that Ralph tells dale "The winner isn't the man with the faster car, it is the man that refuses to lose", that among others of course.

I know i watch this movie every day for sure, and i highly recommend it to anyone. Not just race fans.
