Dale Earnhardt was a great NASCAR driver, and he was a man who rose from working class roots to become a wealthy man. He was a highly competitive man, (a must for NASCAR racing), who always seemed to feel that he had something to prove to others. His family life wasn't perfect, and he could be a tough man to love, but his dedication to winning earned him millions of fans around the world. His popularity was at its peak when he died in the 2001 Daytona 500. This movie was simply sports film-making at its finest. Pepper should be in line for many awards for this role, and this should make him a major Hollywood star. Earnhardt's life wasn't perfect, but this movie is about as close to perfect as a bio pic can get. Catch this movie, and you'll understand why "Big E", and son "Little E" (Dale, Jr) really are loved by millions of working-class people.
