I have not been able to find a copy, but you might enjoy this if anyone can ever find it.

In 1981, we (Wrangler Jeans/Blue Bell, Inc.) released a syndicated television production that followed Dale Earnhardt getting ready for the 1981 World 600 at Charlotte, including the race. It was "furnished" to stations all over the country. The piece was produced by our New York advertising agency, Dancer, Fitzgerald, Sample.

I don't remember whether it was a one hour or half-hour piece. I also don't have any recall what it was named.

I do remember the "infomercial" following Dale from either his lake house or Kannapolis on race day morning. In the Charlotte infield, Dale, who was driving for Rod Osterlund, almost runs over a speedway security guard trying to block him. Dale yells, "I'm Dale Earnhardt" as the poor fellow jumps out of the way of Dale's car.

If anybody ever finds that one, please let me know.

Yes, It is called. " Dale Earnhardt,One Tough Customer" It was I think 30-45 minutes long. It is on the Dale DVD. The one that was put out by the Earnhardt family. It is on Disc 2 in the bonus material. Great film. In it we see a young Dale Jr water skiing. Yeah that part is funny where Dale is driving to the track in this big Pontiac in these big shades and big cowboy hat going, "I'm Dale Earnhardt" was great.
