Nowadays you rarely see drivers in NASCAR turning up with the same paint scheme week-in, week-out, but in the 1990s it was relatively rare for drivers to roll-out one-off paint schemes.
Diecast diaries is back with a recent addition to the collection to tell the story of an unusual one-off comeback for one of NASCAR’s all-time greats.
This week’s Diecast Diaries entry goes way back to 1998 and the first time Dale Earnhardt Sr and Dale Earnhardt Jr raced against each other.
After a short break, Diecast Diaries is back. This week the spotlight is on Brad Keselowski’s first NASCAR Cup title, which coincided with Dodge’s exit from NASCAR.
This week’s Diecast Diaries is the first IndyCar entry into the series, and looks at the links between the 2005, 2011, 2016, and 2017 Indianapolis 500s.
This week’s Diecast Diaries looks at Red Bull in NASCAR. The Austrian energy drinks brand entered NASCAR in 2006, going full-time in 2007 when Toyota joined the series.
