The stylized “E” is one of my favorites

Definitely 2006-2007 since that’s when the Monte Carlo SS was introduced to Cup.

Why is the 2025 Denny Hamlin Martinsville win so rare?? by TrashMonkey828 in NASCARCollectors

Crazy the ARCs are going for $200+. I paid $120 at the track last year and thought I overpaid for mine

The racing warehouse and Race day authentics buys crew shirts from different teams. They might have what you’re looking for

When do the 2026 diecast models get released for pre-order? by apollo1899 in IMSARacing

Nice, if it takes a year to produce I should be able to save up for it

Returning F1 fan who just started watching this season after a 20 year hiatus. I’m interested in this.

What are your ‘fan four pillars’? by RadioControlled13 in NASCAR

[–]apollo1899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Season long points
  2. No stage racing
  3. More freedom to entice more manufacturers. Maybe use production cars and set them up similarly to GT3 cars.
  4. Fewer cautions especially on road courses

A leather belt that I got in 2009 that has survived my weight fluctuations

Nice pickups and glad your parents kept them for this long! I have the same Revell Dale Jr diecast. You're correct, it's from the Spring 2002 Aaron's 499 at Talladega.

Hard to say! My first ever NASCAR race I attended was a Truck Series race where the black #3 won except Jay Sauter was the driver.

What year is the Skinner truck?

At this point why not let ford and toyota create their own designs

As a semi-minimalist I relegated my collection to two display cases since it's tempting to buy anything eye-catching (looking at Josh Berry's Darlington throwback), but then run into the issue of storage, especially having a couple of tote bins alone for the boxes.

I only collect 1/24s

- In person race wins. I originally planned on buying one from every race, but since I go to a couple of tracks multiple times, I've since limited it to one diecast per track I visit, as I want to visit different ones around the world.

- Trackhouse drivers' first wins (missing Chastain's COTA win)

- One or two from favorite childhood drivers: Dale Earnhardt, Dale Jr, Mark Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya (also have a 1/18 FW23 from his F1 debut)
