We got Sun Drop schemes here. 2023 (right of first image) and the other is 2025 (left). Which do you prefer? Its hard to not like some Dale Earnhardt Jr and Sun Drop paint schemes!
James Robert Yates (April 19, 1943 – October 2, 2017) was an engine builder and founder of the Cup team Robert Yates Racing (or RYR for short). He purchased the team from Harry Ranier in 1988, with driver Davey Allison behind the wheel. Along the way he expanded the team to two cars and hired some NASCAR legends like champion Dale Jarrett and Hall of Famer/Ironman Ricky Rudd. Yates owned the team until retiring at the end of the 2007 season (with Rudd) with his son Doug assuming ownership and renaming the team Yates Racing. In 2018, Yates was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, about 6 months after his passing. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. drove this scheme at Darlington that year to honor Yates. Since Yates set up Rudd for one of his career best seasons (that saw Rudd second in points with a real chance to take it all until RYR experienced an end of season drop off that would make a roller coaster blush) I wish to honor him too. I only wish it was number 28 the run.
Just got the Bristol win to complete the 2021 official wins! Facebook Marketplace has been the place to go so far. Amazing deals are on there.
Championship car and the 9/11 car thrown in there also.
2006 was a season of highs and lows for Kasey Kahne. The Washington State native broke out and had several wins, but was hampered down by poor finishes whenever he wasn't in the top five.
Just his third year racing in Cup, Kane had the stats of someone who should have been in the top five points. But because of the inconsistency, they finished 8th. Kahne had six wins, six poles, 12 top 5s and 19 top 10s. It was a very solid year but the problem was he also had 10 races where he finished below the lead lap. He had 10 finishes of 30th or worse. There was a late summer stretch where the team just couldn't seem to get a break. In that stretch they had six finishes out of seven races 20th or worse.
These 2006 Evernham primary diecasts are actually really hard to find and when you do find them, they're usually way more expensive than you want them to be. I'm not sure why the 2006 Evernham Dodges are hard to find, but they are.
Had the opportunity of a lifetime play out yesterday as I got to temporarily relocate the majority of my race used Mark Martin collection from New Hampshire to Bentley's Saloon in Maine in support of Mark’s book tour signing.
Incredible experience to share the collection in person with tons of Martin fans and beyond surreal to spend time with Mark and his son Matt chatting about the pieces.
Might have some exciting developments to share in the near future as well, as always thanks for taking a look.
Finally got my hands on one
2025 Kyle Larson championship ice
Completely forgot I had placed a bid on this a couple days ago. Turns out I somehow won with a max bid of $104 😅 a pleasant surprise on this post-KB day morning.
2002 looked like it was going to be another solid season for Sterling Marlin but injuries said otherwise. He only accomplished 29 of 36 races and because of that fell out of the top 10 in points to 18th. Despite this he still had an average finish of 13.9, two wins, 8 top five's and 14 top 10s. Statistics most drivers in the field would love to have.
Unfortunately after Marlins accident, he seemed to never drive quite the same and his results would never match his 2001, 2002, and 1995 seasons. Marlin's best finish in the NASCAR Cup points was third two times. 2001 and 1995.
Just going through some of my diecasts , thinking of selling. Curious on how much this one may go for.
I have been waiting for this Connor Zilisch rookie diecast and it arrived today. Well it’s supposed to be color chrome. Only the 88 outline is chrome on the side walls. Not even the top. Never seen anything like this. I have seen 2 color cars only have 1 of the 2 be chrome and the other base paint but this is a joke. Anybody else get those today? I’m wondering if this was a mistake by Lionel? I’m gonna be pissed if the Trackhouse car is like this when it arrives.
Had a dentist appointment this afternoon, so I stopped in at the Wal Mart near my dentist's office to check for the 2025 & 2026 Wave 1 & 2 liquid color cars that I still haven't found, I instead found well-stocked pegs that already had Wave 3. There were 13 total cars I think - almost 2 full sets of Wave 3 (only one Elliott), plus the Wave 2 CBell and the Wave 601A SSmith. No sign of the Liquid Rajah, but I'm not going to complain about that. I wasn't expecting to see Wave 3 so soon after it was announced, especially since other parts of the country usually start seeing them before we do in southeast Texas.
That said, this particular Wal Mart isn't well-stocked anymore 😀. As you can see, I grabbed the entire wave for myself, and I also got the 2nd Chastain, Byron, and BK because my girls wanted them.
Good luck to the rest of you hunting this wave, and hopefully the shorter turnaround from announcement to availability will continue with future waves!
I caught my pup posing in front of my Gordon and Johnson 1:24 collection which I’ve bolstered over the last few months. I sought to have a good variety representing my favorite cars over the majority of their careers. My top favorites are the 2011 Johnson Lowe’s, 2007 Johnson Kobalt, 2002 Gordon DuPont 200 years, and 2013 Gordon Axalta.
Bonus Earnhardt Peter Max, Dale Jr. Busch 1:43 and Kimi Raikkonen 2007 1:24 also pictured.
Two out of my nine Rowdy diecasts that I have. These two are my most prized pieces. Miss him everyday. His last cup win was my first race.
Turned a good mail day into a great mail day. Third one I’ve gotten, all from Circle B preorders. Sadly I had to sell my other 2 door numbers due to life happening but this one’s staying in the collection until the bitter end.
2026 was the year i planned to get more Kyle Busch diecast but due to obvious circumstance that didnt happen, However i still feel in the sea of shitty sellers and the forever inflated valu,e of his diecast i was still able to get some very good diecast with some of these diecast way before his death. Was my second favorite driver behind Carson Hocevar and of my dads favorite citing him as the closest thing to Dale Earnhardt in driving ability.
This is my entire Kyle Busch collection. My diecasts and first trading card. KB was my favorite driver since the 2015 Quaker State without me even knowing it was Kyle, the M&M’s drew me in😅. 2024 was my first ever race that I went to in person, and Kyle was driving the Zone scheme. One of my favorites so I’m glad I was able to get the diecast. There will never be another Kyle Busch, RIP Rowdy🏁
