Budweiser Off-Season Update: All Dale Jr. All the Time
|
Spring fever setting in? Getting itchy for the start of the NASCAR Nextel Cup season? Grab a cold Budweiser, set your VCR or get the Tivo warmed up... You can get your off-season fix of Dale Earnhardt Jr. in a wide variety of ways, including:
MTV DIARY
This Sunday, January 25, at 10pm ET (and again at 12:30 am Sunday night/Monday morning) is the debut airing of "DIARY: Dale Earnhardt Jr." The documentary follows Dale Jr. through a rain-plagued Atlanta race weekend, then follows him through his new home in Mooresville, NC. Dale Jr. joins an exclusive list of celebrities that have been a part of the Dairy series, including Brittney Spears, Ashton Kutcher, Beyonce, Tony Hawk, Jason Kidd, and many more...
VH-1 DRIVEN
The documentary series takes a look at the young Dale Jr., growing up as the son of the Intimidator before becoming a superstar in his own right. It features interviews with several dozen of his family members and friends. DRIVEN will debut February 13 (12 pm ET, and again at 4PM and 10PM) on VH-1. Among the previous subjects of DRIVEN have been Madonna, the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw and Kid Rock.
MAGAZINE COVERS
Dale Jr. is currently seen on the cover of a series of NASCAR-related yearbooks, season previews and special editions. You can find him at your nearby newsstand on the covers of special editions of Sports Illustrated, TV Guide, Athlon's, Sporting News and Speedway Illustrated.
DALE EARNHARDT JR: ANY GIVEN DAY DVD
NASCAR Images will release the first-ever Dale Jr. DVD in early February. Dale Jr. was executive producer of the disc, and provided the direction for a peek at three months in the life of one of America's busiest and most-popular athletes. The soundtrack was hand-picked by Dale Jr., and includes bands like Staind, O.A.R., Static X and the All-American Rejects. Wanna know what it's like for Dale Jr. to get a haircut? OK, even if you aren't too fascinated by his grooming habits, you'll enjoy riding along as he makes an appearance at Fort Bragg to meet the troops or escapes to rural Alabama with his buddies to get away from the stress and hoopla of a long NASCAR season. Here's your ticket to ride, with more than 110 minutes of footage and many other extras...
If all of the above is not enough, Dale Jr. is also scheduled to race in nearly every event on four wheels at Daytona's Speedweeks. The action begins next week with the 24-Hours of Daytona, followed by the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona, where he is the defending champion, the Busch Series Hershey's 300 (again, the defending champion), and the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 15.
