Earnhardt 101
At the Alter of Speed has all the makings of a Cinderella story: A boy growing up in a rural mill town in North Carolina, dropping out of school in the sixth grade to follow in the not-so-successful footsteps of his father, only to struggle trying to make ends meet as he tries to make his mark in the NASCAR world.
This redneck boy from Kannapolis made more than a mark. Earnhardt blazed a trail that earned him seven Winston Cups, tens of millions of dollars in revenue only rivaled by the likes of Jordan and Gretzky, and the adulation of countless fans. Documenting the trials of NFL Europe
The dream of every football player is to make it to the National
Football League, but the journey is not always easy. Some players will
go directly from college to the NFL, but many others face a more
difficult route, proving themselves in a foreign country where they
battle homesickness, inclement weather, travel and accommodation chaos,
lousy food and low pay. That's what is documented, along with incredibly
funny stories, in "The Proving Ground, A Season On The Fringe In NFL
Europe".
