The Intimidator. The Man in Black. Ironhead. One Tough Customer. Dale Earnhardt was called all of those — he was such a legendary NASCAR figure that just one nickname wasn’t enough. Considered by many to be the best driver in the sport’s history, Earnhardt died in a last-lap crash at the 2001 Daytona 500 and has since attained almost mythical status among race fans.
Earnhardt is coming soon to Prime Video, and the streaming service has released a trailer teasing the new docuseries.
The series will focus on the life and tragic death of the NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt and his family. Prime Video shared the following about the series when it was ordered:
