Following the success of Prime’s “Earnhardt” and FS1’s “We’ve Lost Dale Earnhardt”, nearly half-a-dozen additional documentaries have been green-lit for production on Dale Earnhardt, sources have confirmed.
“We’ve barely scratched the surface on what can be done”, said Nascar Communications spokesman Steve Wright. “There’s so many more perspectives to be seen, so many more moments to analyze, so much more money to be made. Um, scratch that last one.”
NBC Sports confirmed that they are working on a two-hour-long documentary titled “Earnhardt: Extended Family, Extended Mourning” which will look at lesser-known members of the racing family and how Dale Sr’s death affected them.
“We have some great interviews with Nicki Earnhardt-McNair, Dale Sr’s second cousin”, said a producer on the special. “Plus, you won’t want to miss how Earnhardt’s perishing on national tv has affected the karting career of Joey Foreman, Dale’s great-nephew’s half-brother.”
TNT Sports, meanwhile, is going in a different direction.
“Thanks to our longtime relationship with Nascar, we have access to some amazing never-before-seen footage of The Intimidator”, said John Forde about a currently untitled three-part series. “You’ll love to see how Kenny Wallace reacts to footage of Dale brushing his teeth before the 1989 Winston Cup Awards Banquet. And just wait until you realize the impact that Hank Parker Sr. had on Dale before the 1993 Coca-Cola 600—I don’t want to give anything away, but he told him ‘good luck’”.
All five documentaries under production are expected to be released later this fall, at which point they’ll be crushed in the ratings by a replay of a pre-season NFL game.
