I know this doesn't fall directly under Ford Motorsports, but I'm using my Moderator Powers and posting here anyway!
EDIT: (And have since moved to 'Off-Topic' to garner more attention for discussion . . . if warrented.)
Is anyone planning on watching the ESPN movie? I'm sure it will be replayed numerous times over the winter as well, and I think ESPN is releasing the movie on DVD.
I grew up watching NASCAR, my Father, and Grandfather worked for Ford Motor Company, so I am a die-hard Ford nut. I hated Earnhardt growing up, but always respected him. Sometime the "Enemy" garners your respect when warrented. (And he did drive a T-bird for 1.5 years!
)
I used to love to watch #3 and #9 (Bill Elliott Coors Thunderbird) battle on the track.
I've heard the movie is getting pretty good reviews.

I will be watching. Always a Earnhardt fan and now a Dale Jr. fan. That was a very sad day but the name lives on with Dale Jr. I really really like Ryan Newman, Kasey Khane, Jeremy Mayfield, Jamie McMurray and the list goes on and on..........Not making my list is Jeff Gordon. I think it kinda stems from a rivalry between my parents.. they are huge Gordon Fans. I think I pull for people I like, not brand dealers.
I have been wondering if this movie is endorsed by Teresa & Dale. I would like to hear their reactions.

My father and I are big Earnhardt fans both Sr. God rest him and Jr. My Grandfather was also a big fan or Sr. When Dale passed it was kinda like losing my Grandfather all over again Dale was and is one of my hero's so much so that after his death I had his number forever tattooed on my right bicep enshrouded in a tat I designed myself. My family is really looking forward to this movie hopefully it does The Myth, The Man, and The Legend justice.

I missed the first 30 because I forgot to tivo it...Went up and stuckthe 11 Pm showing in there, will watch soon.
I hate the whole thing........ :bang: And its irrational, but I have despised Sterling Marlin since. I blame him. I haven't even sat and watched a race for more than ten minutes since then.
Fortunately the last race I ever went to was Dega in October 2000. That was spectacular.

Moot point because I no longer watch racing and sold my excellent Nascar collection off on Ebay.
