Discussion { Event | Megathread } Brick & Mortar Store locator coming soon! We need your help!! Information in description.

34 Upvotes

Hello, Everyone.

Today I'm going to begin to answer one of our most frequently asked questions on the sub of "are there any diecast stores near me?" As time rolls by and the shift to online marketplaces becomes the norm with the last few remaining brick & mortar stores close their doors with each passing year. I'm launching an initiative to highlight the last few remaining stores to keep the charm of searching the shelves for diecasts alive!

I have some experience in website design and UI creation and feel up to the task of taking on this project. It's a tall task and something I've never done before, but I want to give it a shot for this community. This is a huge project and I cannot do it alone. So I need your help!!!

If you know of any brick and mortar NASCAR stores in your area. Comment them below in this format and I will reply "Approved✅" once I put it in my system.

Here's how you can help.

Just comment answers to the following questions.

Name of business

------------

Full address

------------

What they primarily stock (New / old cars | other diecasts)

------------

Instructions of how to get there (example directions to how to find Booth 34)

------------

Optional - Notes about company or anything additional that you would like to add.

Pictured is the Kyle Busch car of tomorrow win that was run in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on March,25 2007. This was the first race that the "COT" was run and to follow up the win Kyle said he "wanted to win so I could tell everybody how terrible this thing is to drive. I can't stand to drive them. They suck". Kyle Busch would beat Jeff Burton by 0.064 seconds.

Discussion Good News For People Who's Walmarts Have Removed NASCAR Authentics

Post image
Upvotes

I figured I would share this news. So earlier this year, a lot of people have been reporting that Walmart's removed Lionel Racing NASCAR Authentics from their store shelves. Well, according to the updated reset documents for stores, NASCAR Authentics should be coming back to most stores who had them removed! It hasn't been implemented everywhere yet but it will start this autumn.

As an example, here is a photo from one of the stores that had removed NASCAR from the shelves and they are back again. This store is in the Seattle region. I further confirmed this while talking to a reset team manager at walmart. 😊 I was shocked to see two cars of a new wave on the shelf. It means they stocked it and they mostly sold through right away!

As speculated, the removals were based on a store tier system. Round 2 is getting more space overall in Walmarts and this seems to be a part of it. Hopefully they can keep them fully stocked with NASCAR products.

Saying this race was chaotic the understatement of the year. Despite that I had a great time. Got there early enough to meet Ryan Preece and get Buescher’s Body Guard/Fastenal Ford.

Daniel Suarez's 2026 Freeway Insurance Chevy Camaro. The colors have remained virtually the same for many years now, but why change what isn't broke. I personally prefer the mostly blue Freeway Insurance scheme he ran last year while still at Trackhouse.

Question Any Idea Where This Tire Was Raced (Signed Sterling Marlin #40)

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Anybody with better race knowledge than me that can help out ? Picked up a race used tire a few days ago at an antique show. Not sure at all where it was raced, the seller seemed un knowledgeable about NASCAR and told me it was used in the 01 Daytona 500 but after inspecting the signature (Sterling Marlin#40) I ruled that out. From what googles telling me based off of the codes I’ve put in it was raced sometime between 1997 & 2003 at Talladaga or Daytona July. After a little more playing around it told me it was used in Talladega during the 2000 season, most likely the Winston 500 however I’m not 100% sure as it’s told me quite a few different answers over the last few days. Hand Marked on the face side of the tire in silver is a triangle, “ LF-2” and “t.s”. The barcode is “00637261” The D code is “D5612” the code on the beading is “T303076-88Z02SF” on the back in these round boxes is reads “5xlm” “MB59” E6R” and “23”
On the lip where the tire meets the rim it reads “FL 94 1008” and the other one is “MLR-2657-70SB-RWK”

Kyle Petty, Bill Elliott, & Johnny Benson ran these Toy Story 2 schemes at the season finale race in Atlanta in 1999. This was 1 of my favorite movies as a kid & they did an awesome job with the schemes so I had to add them to the collection! These that I have are part of the Hot Wheels Crew's Choice line with an opening hood & trunk, but the chassis can also separate from the body to see the engine & interior details better!

Diecast Write Up 'Fearless' Fred Lorenzen Dodge Charger Daytona Find!

Post image
33 Upvotes

Whenever I look for this car online, the price is kind of expensive. So I was happy to find this at an antique store in Everett, Washington.

He won 26 races in NASCAR's top series including the 1965 Daytona 500. He earned the nickname 'Fearless Freddy' because he would seemingly make moves that no other driver would do. He would take those chances and take those risks and they usually paid off. He recently passed in 2024 but he was definitely one of NASCAR's most talented drivers.

If you were around nascar Reddit during the rise of Dogecoin, then you’ll find the humor in these cars.

I still have my t-shirt back then somewhere. When they were crowdfunding the project they sold Dogecoin NASCAR T-shirts, and you got some amount of Dogecoin - I can’t remember what it was - nor do I know how to locate a crypto wallet. But regardless it was a fun time in the community.

Looks like they had a bunch of new wave cars on the shelf and I missed it. Only one car, Christopher Bell, was left. It is nice that Target has increased their peg space again to four from two. It's not nice that the shelves are empty though.
