  • Golden Globe(R) and Emmy(R) nominee Barry Pepper stars as the greatest NASCAR driver of all time in the ESPN original Movie 3: THE DALE EARNHARDT STORY. Growing up in the shadow of his father, Ralph, Dale Earnhardt was driven to prove that his dreams of professional racing could become a reality. But when his own son, Dale Jr., wanted to follow in his footsteps, Dale reacted in the same way as his stubborn old man -- until a moving realization helped both him and his son fulfill their destinies on the track. From his humble beginnings to the triumph and tragedy of his career, this true-life story provides a thrilling look at the man who was called "The Intimidator" by rivals and friends alike. Packed with hours of exclusive bonus footage and interviews from the ESPN archives, this 2-disc special edition DVD is the ultimate account of racing's legendary hero.
