My store has the throwback 18 Skittles hauler and it's the first time I've seriously considered getting one, even though I'm fairly certain they didn't reskin their semi and trailer for those two races. I believe those haulers are a generic semi truck design. I don't think they are licensed by any of the truck manufacturers.

My Walmart hasn't restocked any NASCAR diecast in a good while. It's pathetic.

I acquired a bunch of 1:24 scale cars yesterday from a friend. They are mostly Texaco Havoline cars and Dale Earnhardt Jr cars

So yesterday I acquired more NASCAR Diecast from my friend. It was mostly Bill Elliott stuff, including an autographed Picture and 1:24 where the box was in bad shape. The oddest thing I got was an Bill Elliott Thunderbat autographed by Bill Elliott's wife. Most of the cars that were in the boxes were in rough shape so I opened them. I also acquired some more winged Dale Earnhardt Jr. Winged COT's.

So I did some magic last night with my tools. I received a Dale Earnhardt Jr Elvis Budweiser car on a base and a Dale Earnhardt Triple Crown Diecast set also on a base. I was able to remove the 2 1:64's off the base with an adjuster screwdriver my dad gave me. It's not a TP3 Screwdriver but it fit into the slot of the screw so I could remove the 2 cars. I removed the Dale Jr. Elvis car with a vise and some Pliers. I didn't damage the cars at all.

I see that Lionel finally released a 1:64 Michael Annett TMC Transportation diecast. After multiple times of being DNP'd it finally got made. The lack of Xfinity Series cars has disappointed me this year. Also I have yet to buy one of the 1:64 Camping World Truck Series trucks this year.

I went to the fair and a seller had some older Racing Champions 1:64's for sale for $3 each. I finally got the Kyle Petty NWO car from 1997. As a Kyle Petty fan, I needed that car. I need to find the other WCW cars though. I also bought a 1998 Derrick Cope Gumout car.
I still haven't bought any 2019 diecasts besides the Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Fifth Third Bank Mustang. I do plan on buying the 1:64 Michael Annett TMC Transportation Camaro when my birthday comes next month.

I used to watch NASCAR with my dad when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s, and we collected the 1/64 cars from Racing Champions. I got older and moved onto other sports, but he kept the collection. He passed away earlier this year, and I was looking through all the cars. I started searching around ebay, thinking maybe I could fill in some of the ones we didn't have from those years. I found the 5 Decades of Petty Racing set that Racing Champions put out in 1999. It included 50 cars, one from each year 1950-99. Each car was the model from that year. Richard Petty was always our favorite driver. I found the whole set MOC in one lot for a decent price, roughly $3 apiece. No clue how I'm going to display them, but looking at them has brought back some good memories.

I considered getting some of the cooler looking ones, but no, I'm not falling down another hole.

The last bunch of NASCAR diecast I bought was a few Vintage Matchbox ones from The Farmer's Market. I've been contemplating buying some of the newer ones such as the William Byron City Chevrolet Car but decided against it. I don't feel like having to buy all new Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Diecast since he left Roush Fenway Racing

Does anybody know if they sell all of the race winners 1/24 or is it just some tracks and drivers? I'm asking because I like to have the Cole Custer Kentucky win and if they do make most how long before they go up for sell?

Usually stick to purchasing Jeff Gordon or Dale Jr diecasts for my grandpa, but I did get a Kyle Larson 42 2020 wave 3 at Walmart last week. At least for now, should be the last one of those, right?

Well I found this at the Farmer's Market for $3, Bobby Allison's 1983 Miller High Life Buick Regal. I removed it from the Acrylic display case. This was before they started to put TP3 screws on the base.

Well I scored this for $0.99 on eBay, a Matchbox Days of Thunder Rowdy Burns Exxon 51. Well technically I got 2 for $0.99. Both are Matchbox branded but however one is a Racing Champions one just in Matchbox packaging. I have no idea why Matchbox had a Racing Champions Lumina casting in their Days of Thunder line. I won't post a pic of the Racing Champions one but the true Matchbox casting is the superior. Plus the Rowdy Burns car rarely comes up for sale online
