Anyone plan on watching the movie on Saturday night?

Yeah i will be flipping beteewn that and the Gophers hockey

Should be interesting but looks to be low budget. Could have some good race(real) action in it. If it goes over well I see a MOVIE company doing something like this for a theatrical release. Maybe a straight to video thing

I saw it, it was ok, I would give it about 2 stars.

There are some doubts about the accuracy too. The movie is not endorsed by the Earnhardts or Richard Childress.

I thought the movie was pretty good for a racing movie.There was a few things that did'nt look right but it seems to really show when they try to mix the real racing with the movie stuff. Overall 3 stars.

Hey I got some trivia for you re: that '84 Earnhardt picture...

WHO WAS THE CREW CHIEF???

Anyone know????

If you don't you'll recognize the name (and he's not a crew chief anymore, and not a big name owner either...) ???

I will post the answer Monday if no one has gotten it yet...

You guys got it. He wasn't always just a sad pathetic field filler. At one time he was a Cup championship winning crew chief... Do you suppose many new fans even comprehend that and how tough it is to be a Cup winner???
