Blink of an Eye excerpt: Why Darrell Waltrip didn't back his brother's early career

Blink of an Eye, the new documentary from Emmy-winning director Paul Taublieb, brings to life the triumph-to-tragedy “odd couple” friendship between perennial NASCAR underdog Michael Waltrip, and the sport’s icon, the late Dale Earnhardt.

The film draws upon rare archival footage and new interviews with Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ty Norris (former President of Dale Earnhardt, Inc.), and NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty, Richard Childress, and Michael’s brother, Darrell Waltrip. Click here for RACER's full review.
