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.
After completing the series and wiping a few tears away, it's clear that 'Earnhardt' did a better job than anything that came prior in painting a realistic portrait of Dale the racer, but also the human being behind 'The Intimidator' persona. Many only know the mythic figure now immortalized in the media and few truly understand the complex and conflicted individual behind it all.
