It's a performance that will be judged by millions of people who this guy meant something to. I think we have a realistic perspective that you can't please everyone. I don't believe you can please the family, those who raced with him, those who hated him, those who loved him, those who knew him as a child, his ex-wives, everybody. There so many different perceptions of who Dale Earnhardt was that you could only capture the essence of the man. That ultimately is the biggest challenge of the film, fitting a life into 100 pages of script in 92 minutes of airtime.
