According to The Hollywood Reporter, NASCAR Images and CMT Films are teaming up to produce DALE, the first authorized documentary on Dale Earnhardt to be released theatrically.

Narrated by Paul Newman, the film will enjoy a unique rollout, bowing in select cities on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series circuit beginning in February, which coincides with the start of the 2007 Nextel Cup season.

DALE will then air on CMT in third-quarter 2007 and will be released on DVD following the CMT premiere.

The film will include archival race footage, rare outtakes, never-before-seen home videos and interviews with the late racing icon's friends, family, competitors and fans.
