You know, I never saw the sequel... Loved the first one as a kid, though.. I must have seen it 20 times.The thing I remember most is the "distinguished" one... he talked. And I think there's a big "New York, New York" musical number with him at the end. Haven't seen this movie in at least ten years, though.

They're going to show it again at Midnight... I can see that this is going to be on 100 times a week. When they create ESPN 7 I think it's just going to show this and the Pete Rose movie over and over continously all day long.

I thought it was a fair movie about the greatest NASCAR driver that has ever lived.

I thought it was a fair movie about the greatest NASCAR driver that has ever lived.I thought it was ok. They didn't spend a lot of time on his actual racing career. Mostly on his early years getting into Nascar. They pretty much sugar coated Ernhardt in general. Pretty much a fluff movie. I give it ** stars.

I thought it was a fair movie about the greatest NASCAR driver that has ever lived.That would be Richard Petty. Ernhardt would be a close second. With Jeff Gordon moving into that circle of company soon.

You'r probably right about Petty, I came into NASCAR in the early Earnhardt years and I thought he was the best ever but I didn't see much of Petty. With 7 Winston Cups he should be a close 2nd. Don't EVER metion Gordon EVER again. :p

I don't know about this one, but I was hugely disappointed in the first ESPN movie, the one about Bobby Knight.

The Junction Boys was better, but still not great. IMO

IMO Earnhardt deserved more than an ESPN "crap" movie.

err I suck, why did the damn kicker (busted twice, qb) come to mind?

I was just going for obscure nascar driver, I remember I went to his last race at the Brickyard 400 years ago as a kid and his first name was I think A.J. and feely came to mind, then by the time I realized it, it was too late :banghead:

what was that guys name.

12-12-2004, 02:19 AM

ahhh I just googled it. A.J Foyt I meant...

hehe talk about egg on my face.

A,J Foyt raced open wheel dude.

A,J Foyt raced open wheel dude.

he raced Nascar as well, I've been wrong about a lot on this thread but I know that... Like I said when I was like 14 I went to his last Nascar race, which was the Brickyard 400... they made a huge deal about it, and that's all I ever knew of him because I only followed nascar.

OldTownChief

12-12-2004, 02:27 AM

What year where you 14?

OldTownChief

The 1st Brickyard 400 was held in 1994.

Could you be thinking of A.J. Jr.?

cheeeefs

12-12-2004, 02:34 AM

14 in 95, but I said "like 14" so I could have been a bit younger I'm bad with years.

here, if you insist, I googled it.

... The inaugural Brickyard 400 took place in August 1994 and AJ Foyt was one of the

oh, and yes it was the first Brickyard. I went to the first and second Brickyard 400's. The only two Nascar races I've been to, unfortunately I never lived close enough to a track to go regularly, both times I had to travel to Indianapolis from Sturgis SD.

If thats right I stand corrected, when Gordon won that race AJ was an old man, I would have thought he was just a crew chief or something. rep to you.

You are right, he was an old man I thought that was the only reason they were making such a big deal of him being there that day. Once again I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think he quite finished the race, I know he finished last (or close to) if he did finish. And I was wondering what all the big fuss was about, heh I didn't have the internet to easily look it up, I guess he was quite a racing stud, just not in Nascar... I always assumed he was kind of a nobody because I hadn't heard of him in Nascar.

AJ was the king of indy racing, I remember when NASCAR took the track for the brickyard, I just didn't remember AJ being there in a car.

From www.who2.com

Name at birth: Anthony Joseph Foyt

One of the greatest racing drivers of the 20th century, Texan A. J. Foyt won 12 national titles and 172 major races, including a record 67 Indy car wins. He is the only driver to have won what some have called the "Triple Crown" of professional racing: the Indianapolis 500 (1961,'64,'67 and '77), the Daytona 500 (1972) and the 24 Hour Le Mans (1967). Foyt retired in 1993, but continues to work as a team owner. He has received about every honor and award in professional racing, including being named "Best Driver of the Century" (with Mario Andretti) by the Associated Press.
