I have always been searching for that oddball Torino he drove and finally found one. Got that other beauty of a Dodge as well. Happy to add these into my growing Petty legacy collection. He's been such a staple to our sport.
Certainly a far cry from Stewart's usual orange Home Depot schemes. He showed up in this vibrant limeish yellow Subway scheme with Home Depot as a secondary.
This is my contribution to Rudd Month! A month that honors Ricky Rudd!! In 2004 Ricky Rudd sported this Wonder Woman/DC Comics themed Ford Taurus. At the time, there was a big push on the latest DC cartoon and this was Wonder Woman's design. In fact, Hot Wheels had a Wonder Woman figurine that came with the car (which I don't have!). The paint job looks like a super combo of heroic proportions!
Looking back on Clint Bowyer's career, he was better than I remember. His weak spot was between 2014 and 2017 but beyond that he was a pretty solid driver. Even in his final year at Stewart Haas Racing, He picked up two top five's and 12 top ten's. At the age of 41 he finished 12th in points.
With his career at a close his two peaks were a third place in points in 2007 and a second place in points in 2012. He ended out his career with 10 wins.
This is Bowyer's 2020 Rush Truck Centers Ford Mustang.
Both of these were schemes Chase Elliott ran in 2025. The NAPA blue is his primary but he also ran this white scheme. There was also one race where he ran a NAPA black for a NAPA Gold product.
Of these two schemes, do you prefer it in white or blue?
I LOVE how simple this design is.
This is an old RCI casting of the Chevy Lumina representative of Jeff Gordon's 1993 stock car. Considering how old this car is, I think they did a great job with the casting. I don't know if this is Revell's casting or in fact RCI. I do know some people here probably do know. Nonetheless I wanted to share it. I think it's really cool.
What I love is how rough the rainbow stripes are especially towards the rear. I really think someone in the factory hand-painted parts of it. I find this stuff charming.
Time for a little Alex Bowman love. He's had a really rough year with the vertigo, so I figured I would share his 2026 Ally Chevy Camaro! Here's to a good rest of the season!
A full suite of diecasts available, pretty much every trim too. Choose your store (not available at all stores yet, some take till Monday)!

Who were the US National Guard better? We have two like schemes in Todd Bodine's 2003 National Guard for Taurus or Greg Biffle's 2005 Ford Taurus. Which do you prefer?
I hope this isn't an ongoing trend at more stores but some of my local Walmarts have now removed Lionel NASCAR Authentics completely from the shelf. I walked into one store here and there's one car randomly hanging on a Hot Wheels Culture peg, but there are no pegs for NASCAR anymore. Is anyone else having this issue?
I've seen this at three local Walmarts and it's all been within the last month. I was hoping it was just a stocking issue. But they have remained empty since. These are photos in Western Washington, south of Seattle.
I got into NASCAR right as Bobby Labonte was tearing up the scene and winning his championship. I loved his green Interstate Batteries Pontiac. Who would have guessed that he would then go race one of my favorite paint schemes as well in the Petty Cheerios Dodge! I remember playing my NASCAR video games and his car was always up near the front!
I know he probably will never say this, but wish him a happy birthday! It has been a joy being your fan through the years!
I think this is a pretty good design! In 2014 Austin would get his first full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series coming off his O'Reilly Series championship in 2013. He would end the season with one top five and four top tens. He would finish his rookie season in 20th.
I miss the time when every package was unique and designed for the specific driver inside. The Gold Series cars of the past were awesome! Here's just a colorful assortment of some!
Received an email from Lionel Racing today with a new exclusive stock car in which only 77 are being made. Clicked the link and it's already sold out. It seems like they are going back and making as many Elite's of some of his car's as they can now with his new found popularity.
Lionel Racing is really making bank lately. This Carson Hocevar fandom sort of just exploded out of nowhere it seems to most fans. It's good and healthy for the sport to see so many new young fans enter the sport this way and hopefully they stick around.
Lionel Racing's website has pre-orders up and other websites like Circle B Diecast should have them up shortly. Funnily enough, Lionel Racing's website just broke, probably due to traffic increases. Hopefully it is fixed shortly.
As stated by Lionel Racing earlier this week on their Twitter, all the Chili's cars are simply waiting on the licensing department of Chili's. With Hocevar's win, and a new rising fan fav, I wonder if this will put a fire on the Chili's legal team to hurry up? We just got to hope they don't go down the Monster or Coco Cola route.
