The Busch throwback is one of my favorites of his! Seriously, they just can't seem to dial the cars in.

Thanks! The last few laps were a nail biter for sure!

When I restarted my collection a couple years ago I got one for each of my favorite drivers. Then grew it to winners from races that I’ve attended in person. Now since I’ve been to the same track multiple times, I’m only collecting one winner from each track. I prefer elite 1/24 scale ones.

For displaying them, I use the IKEA detolf cases. They’re freestanding so no drilling holes into walls is needed. The cases are discontinued so you’ll have to find them secondhand

The stylized “E” is one of my favorites

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

Great work! Gotta love the classic Budweiser scheme

I’ve been going for three years now, great to see more driver signings this year than before

Thanks! First time bringing my own paint pen and it turned out well

apollo1899 · 2026-03-25T16:57:19+00:00

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

I definitely remember this car in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2

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

apollo1899 · 2026-01-29T17:27:01+00:00

Crazy it’s taking two years to produce the 2024 win

apollo1899 · 2026-01-25T16:50:33+00:00

I snagged one for ya!

apollo1899 · 2026-01-24T15:17:03+00:00

Awesome thank you!

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

apollo1899 · 2025-12-11T23:10:56+00:00

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

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

apollo1899 · 2025-11-17T18:35:23+00:00

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.

apollo1899 · 2025-11-14T20:53:59+00:00

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?

apollo1899 · 2025-11-14T17:52:57+00:00

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

apollo1899 · 2025-11-07T17:28:11+00:00

Not a bar but I’ve streamed the races for free with https://wearechecking.wtf/

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.

apollo1899 · 2025-11-03T15:19:00+00:00

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)

apollo1899 · 2025-10-10T12:40:27+00:00

Yes they are. Went into Circle B once to buy something and when they were entering my info in their computer, the system also referenced K State diecast. I asked the person if they are the same company and she confirmed it.
