Synopsis
One of the greatest sports stories never told is presented in this action-packed look inside the high-stakes world of professional NASCAR Racing. Daytona 500 in 2001, with one lap to go. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were running one-two. Junior’s legendary dad, the driver race fans called “The Intimidator,” was close behind in third, blocking anyone who might try to pass. Waltrip couldn’t stop thinking about all the times he’d struggled to stay ahead—and the 462 NASCAR Cup races he’d lost without a single win. He’d been a race-car driver all his adult life, following in the footsteps of his brother Darrell, a three-time NASCAR champion. And his losing streak was getting more painful every race. But this day, he knew, could be different. He was driving for Dale Earnhardt now, racing as a team with his close friend and mentor. Yet as his car roared toward the finish line, ending that losing streak once and for all, Waltrip had no clue that the greatest triumph of his life could get mired in terrible tragedy.
