Michael Waltrip

A big-screen look into one of America's most successful entertainment industries, NASCAR racing.

Based on his book, Michael Waltrip recounts the 2001 Daytona 500 and the lighting-fast transition from elation to mourning - as he took the checkered flag to win while Dale Earnhardt, his friend and team owner, crashed in Turn 4 behind him. Earnhardt's death and the events of the race had a profound effect on Waltrip, shown in this documentary.

Dale Earnhardt Sr. was a legend in the sport of NASCAR. This special looks back on that fateful day, February 18th, 2001, when the world lost one of the greatest drivers of all time.
