MOTORTREND GROUP ACQUIRES EXCLUSIVE STREAMING RIGHTS TO THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED, EMOTIONAL SPORTS DOCUMENTARY BLINK OF AN EYE

--BLINK OF AN EYE Streams Exclusively on the MotorTrend App Beginning Monday, February 3, 2020--

(Los Angeles) - MotorTrend Group, a Discovery company, announced today that it has acquired exclusive streaming rights to BLINK OF AN EYE, the feature documentary film about two-time DAYTONA 500 winner Michael Waltrip and his star-crossed friendship with legendary stock car driver Dale Earnhardt. Based upon the New York Times bestselling book, "Blink of an Eye", the film was directed and produced by two-time Emmy(R) Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Paul Taublieb. BLINK OF AN EYE premieres Monday, February 3, 2020 on the MotorTrend App, the only subscription streaming service dedicated entirely to the motoring world.

BLINK OF AN EYE chronicles the story of Michael Waltrip from the time he leaves the small town of Owensboro, Ky. looking to follow in the footsteps of his older brother Darrell as a professional race car driver. Darrell refused to help him, but Michael makes his way with help from the sport's most legendary driver Richard Petty.

As he chases his professional racing dreams, Michael competes in 462 races without notching a win. Along the way there are close calls, horrific crashes, changing teams but he only extends the longest losing streak in NASCAR history. With his struggling career and dreams hanging in the balance, iconic driver Dale Earnhardt put him in a Dale Earnhardt, Inc. team car for the 2001 DAYTONA 500.

On the last lap of "The Great American Race" Michael was in first place, Earnhardt's son Dale, Jr. was in second (also part of the team) and Earnhardt was in third place. Instead of Earnhardt making his trademark charge to take the lead, he blocked the field of 40 hungry cars to protect Michael and Dale, Jr. As Michael finally takes the checkered flag, Earnhardt is swept up in what looks to be minor crash. Michael is ecstatic in victory lane, waiting for his friend to give him hug. It never comes as Earnhardt was killed in the wreck.

Michael wrestles with guilt and questions his victory, while also leading the mourning for the sport's biggest star. July that year finds he and Dale, Jr. back at Daytona for the summer race. Michael yearns for another victory. On the last lap, Dale, Jr. is leading but Michael is coming hard and fast, and is perfectly set up to "slingshot" the lead and take the victory. Instead, he tucks in behind Dale, Jr., and pushes him across the line in honor of Junior's dad and Michael's friend.

BLINK OF AN EYE is the incredible true story of failure, friendship, triumph and tragedy during a time when NASCAR was at the height of its popularity in America. BLINK OF AN EYE streams exclusively on the MotorTrend App beginning Monday, February 3, 2020.

The MotorTrend App offers nearly 8,000 episodes and roughly 4,000 hours of world-leading automotive series and specials including the most complete collection of classic TOP GEAR (200+ episodes and specials spanning seasons one thru 25), the upcoming all-new TOP GEAR AMERICA and every season of WHEELER DEALERS, ROADKILL, FAST N' LOUD, GARAGE REHAB, OVERHAULIN', BITCHIN' RIDES and many more.
