Kenny Wallace reveals the reason why he will not be watching the Dale Sr. documentary

NASCAR veteran driver and former commentator, Kenny Wallace, recently expressed why he would not be watching the special documentary made on Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s life that is streaming on Amazon Prime. The documentary titled 'Earnhardt' was released on May 22 and consisted of four episodes in the first season, in which the final episode covered Earnhardt Sr.'s devastating accident at the Daytona 500 in 2001.

Wallace was a close aide to Earnhardt Sr. during his time and expressed that the documentary would be too emotional for him, as he had experienced the tragic moment at Daytona. The 61-year-old presented his opinion about the documentary, answering a fan question on X.

"I will not watch it because I already know what happened, and it’s too emotional for me. I do not want to put my heart through that again. However, the young generation needs to see it" Kenny Wallace wrote via X.

The first season has been well-loved and appreciated by fans of the sport. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has put in great efforts to successfully present his father's legacy and story on screen.
