Cool concept but holy cow this woody looking guy is an embarrassing effort by Lionel but why am I not surprised.

Found this in store at Target, packaging was clearly opened. One of my weirdest finds ever

This is how they looked after I painted most of the paint dings and chips they had but it was still a great get

On October 1st, 2026, Lionel Racing showed off the new Ram 1500 casting on a prototype. If this doesn't get you excited for the new casting, I don't know what does! This look incredible. This is Tony Stewart's return to racing truck, aka "Smoke." Fingers crossed they use this opportunity to also bring back proper 1:64 manufacturer castings too. Share thoughts below! A majority of the Ram pre-orders for 1:64s and 1:24s are listed as 10/31, but obviously it will probably be later.

My theory as well is the Advent Calendar will include a RAM as the box does indeed say RAM is a manufacturer within the box. My guess is it will be the only way to get Corey Lajoie's MOPAR Ram. But that's just a theory, a diecast theory!

The blue and black Trackhouse cars glow under my blue LED lights. Just thought it was cool.

Since the early days of the Craftsman truck series, the Spears Chevy was a staple. Running under the Spears Motorsports banner, they were a staple to racing in the Pacific Northwest and West Coast as a whole. They took their chances in the Craftsman Truck Series with drivers such as Bill Sedgwick, Dan Press, and names like Dennis Setzer and David Starr. But one name that ran through their organization in 1997 and 1998 may be more recognizable to you all. Kevin Harvick.

He ran a part-time schedule and 97 but then ran the full 1998 schedule minus one race. Rather shockingly Harvick never got a win but he did get three top fives. A fourth at Texas was his best result. Harvick finished 17th and points that season having more or less an average finish in the top 15 the top 20 range. He definitely showed glimpses of promise and little did we all know, he would become one of NASCAR's greats.

Personally I have always loved these Spears paint schemes. They remain the same throughout the history of the team and they continue to sponsor cars out west with this paint job. The spears family is huge in sponsoring and supporting local drivers out west and it's great to see their legacy continue all the way up to 2026.
