Ahead of Prime Video's first weekend streaming a NASCAR Cup Series race, the first half a four-part documentary on the late, great Dale Earnhardt was released. The show immediately shot to No. 1 among trending shows on the streaming service, and remains inside the top five a full week later as the final two parts were released.

Ah yes, Dirty Dale, the guy who brought “Hit-To-Pass” into Nascar. “Intimidator” my hairy patoot, he drove to damage others, and paid the price.

I’ll make sure to put that on my “Hagiographies I am not gonna watch “ list

Dale Sr. Was out to win at any cost. "!If you got in his way, he moved you- " - d waltrip.

never was my favorite driver.

Always thought he was the intimidater. You had to out run him because you couldn't race with him.

imso - Dale Jr. Was a better driver, Jimmie Johnson was a much more likable and better driver.

H3 risked people’s lives “moving them” at 200 mph! I woukdnt call him the intimidator, but more the “out of control egomaniac with a reckless and dangerous ‘win at any cost’ attitude”

My wife pays 200 bucks a month to watch tv and my internet. And absolutely nothing for me to watch on the tv outside of a very few sports events.
And now I’m supposed to pay more to watch the ‘new’ nascar? The nascar with every car identical so all the laps put the cars door to door and bumper to bumper for 2 hours snd 45 minutes? Then wreck in the last ten minutes or so?
They must take me for a fool. How about you?

NASCAR hasn’t been the same since his passing. Jr. Helped for a while, but NASCAR followers are way down.

[[And now I’m supposed to pay more to watch the ‘new’ nascar?]]

I quit nascar after the bubba wallace’s noose hoax and nascar went full on blm support. I swi5ched to F-1, Motogp, and Indy Car racing.

The old nascar was exciting to watch much of the time, but yep, the new nascar is a snoozefest. I tune in every now and again to ses if anyrhing has changed, but see the same scenario everytime. Bubba wal.ace so ewhere near the back of pack until the mandatory stage breaks (which i absolutely hated when they started that nonsense), and then somehow bubba works up to the front, and wins. Went from a horrible driver to a supposedly top 5 driver overnight practically? I suspect that noosecar might be throwing races to boost blm support, but cant know for sure. Juwt se3ms fishy to me.

That’s when I quit too.

I was actively negotiating with a track for a corporate sponsorship deal with my employer.

Such negotiations also stopped.

Honestly... I know what NASCAR is, but I probably have never watched the entire race. In fact, maybe just clips period I had a friend- she was totally into NASCAR. Her parents ran a concession at Talladega. And the Merch she had collected over the years was pretty darn impressive. Personally I became an F1 fan with the movie Grand Prix, the camp classic with James Garner came out in the early 60. I still love that movie. I saw it in a palatial Bangkok theater when I was about 11 and have been a fan of F1 ever since.
