What to Watch: Thursday

- Today is the premiere day for the new documentary on Amazon Prime Video simply called Earnhardt. It is a four-part series and the first two episodes are available for subscribers.

It is also possible to get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime Video so that you technically wouldn't have to pay to watch the five Cup races on the service if you cancel before the 30 days are up.

- Today is a quiet day at Charlotte Motor Speedway. ARCA teams will be loading into the garage later this afternoon. There is no on-track activity scheduled for today.

NASCAR teams are putting final touches on their race cars and trucks before making the short haul to Concord. If anything of note breaks, we'll have it for you at Frontstretch.

Frontstretch Line of the Week

From Katherine Legge on Her NASCAR Return, New Book & Diversity in Racing

"Oh crikey. I have been very, very lucky, and I’ve traveled a bunch racing. Obviously, your favorite memories are the ones where you have good results; I think that goes without saying. But also, just like the friends that you make along the way and the experiences that you get to have. I think my life’s been very unique and different, and I wouldn’t change it for the world." - Pietro Fittipaldi on his days racing late models at Hickory Motor Speedway.
