SPEED will re-air The Day; Remembering Dale Earnhardt on the 10th anniversary of his death, Friday, Feb. 18, at 10:00 pm/et. SPEED’s Feb. 11 premiere of the one-hour special scored a .78 (640,000 households) Nielsen Rating, making it the highest non-event rating on the network since July 2008. Response to the one-hour special has been overwhelming in the media and across social media outlets. Mike Vega of The Boston Globe wrote, “But none was done better than ‘The Day: Remembering Dale Earnhardt’ It’s worth watching, especially for the poignant interviews with Richard Childress, Earnhardt’s car owner, and Ken Schrader My stomach churned as I watched the moving retrospective on Earnhardt’s death because it sent me reeling back to what had been — by far — the hardest day I’ve ever experienced as a sportswriter.” SPEED offers encores of The Day on Feb. 18 at 10:00 pm/et immediately following the network’s live broadcast of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season opener from Daytona (7:30 pm/et) and Feb. 19 at 7:30 pm/et.(SPEED), all I can say is, the special was awesome and brought tears to my eyes.(2-16-2011)
