The four -part Earnhardt ’ docuseries chronologically traces the seven -time NASCAR Cup Series champion’s rise from unknown racer to cultural icon.

Director Joshua Altman reveals unguarded moments in telling a family story of The Intimidator .

Altman: "A lot of those moments reveal character and personality".

Director Joshua Altman says he was "a sponge absorbing all of that stuff and getting as best as I can to communicate that to an audience" Altman : "I think the show is going to resonate with people, hopefully both as fans, but also non-NASCAR fans as well" Dale Jr. and Kelley Kelley sat down with Dale for four hours at a time.

Amazon Prime's " Dale Earnhardt " documentary is a non-chronological look at the late NASCAR driver's life.

The documentary is about family, and the story is very much the center of that family.

It's not the happiest of the endings because it can’t, Altman says.

He says it's a " Greek tragedy in a lot of ways".
