NASCAR Images and CMT Films are teaming up to produce Dale, the first authorized documentary about the late racing icon Dale Earnhardt, to be released theatrically early next year.
The Hollywood Reporter says the film, narrated by Paul Newman, will enjoy a unique rollout, opening in select cities on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series circuit beginning in February, which coincides with the start of the 2007 Nextel Cup season.
Dale will then air on cable channel Country Music Television in the third quarter of 2007 and will be released on DVD following the CMT premiere.
The film will include archival race footage, rare outtakes, never-before-seen home videos and interviews with Earnhardt's friends, family, competitors and fans.
