Blink of an Eye

The documentary is about the 2001 Daytona 500. Michael Waltrip drove in that race. Dale Earnhardt, the owner of his team, was on the track too. That day Waltrip crossed the line in front. It was the great win of his career. At the same moment a crash happened behind him. Earnhardt hit the wall in turn four. Earnhardt was both his friend and his team owner. The celebration started when the race ended. News of the death came a short while later. Joy turned into mourning at once. Waltrip carried that day for years. The documentary draws on his book. Race footage and interviews run together. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. appear in the eighty eight minute documentary. It is an American production Paul Taublieb finished in 2019.
