Loved seeing & hearing these events from Waltrip's perspective! A tear jerker for sure but so raw from all aspects!

Great to see the whole inside story from the people that were closest to Dale when he drove away into the sunset at Daytona in 2001. Thank you for making this film.

Michael Waltrip is one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met and a total sweetheart. My husband Scott and I loved this movie to pieces!

Only thing missing was Kevin Harvick who replaced Dale after his death. I would have liked to learn more about his thoughts. Besides that, GREAT film!

Would have been a lot better if person 3 seats down wouldn’t have brought their 1 yr old that kept whining the entire time

Nice insight to Earnhardt and M Waltrip. Golden age of Nascar.

Such an incredible story of friendship and amazing people. There’s laughter and a lot of tears but no one could write a better story than this true one.

I knew the basic facts of the story. I had no idea how close Michael and Dale were as friends. I can't wait till it's released so I can own it at home and watch it again

The interactions between these real-life characters are here recalled with fondness and rue by the surviving participants. Taublieb’s approach is straightforward, but also a little pedestrian.

Waltrip’s earnest and forthright narration lends Blink of an Eye its intimacy and insight.

That points to the biggest shortcoming of Blink of an Eye. It’s a seriously unchallenging documentary, one that has no contrary voices suggesting why Waltrip never won before Earnhardt took him on (More hard luck? Nobody says so, nobody asks.) and as it lapses into hagiography, borders on “NASCAR Sanctioned” and “Official Myth-Burnishing.”
