8/30/2026

And just like that, the 26 races that make up the Nascar regular season have concluded and the Nascar Chase for the championship is about to begin. After several years of chaotic and seemingly unbalanced results that impacted the playoffs and overshadowed the results of one of the most unpredictable races of the year, some refinement in the points system, and the way teams and drivers could qualify for the playoffs has been repaired. Ryan Preece, after nearly 250 starts in the Cup series finally won the first points paying race of his career. His Kroger/Oikos raced 1/64 leads off this week's issue of the D.U.

Sunday's race at New Hampshire had just about everything, rain tires, questionable spin outs, calamitous crashes, and a great battle for the lead at the end of the race. Ultimately, Ryan Blaney was able to hold off a hard charging Bubba Wallace to solidify his third win of the season, and his top five standing going into the Nascar Chase following the summer Daytona race this weekend. While the action at New Hampshire was awesome, we've got some great 1/64s this week that are pretty awesome too. For a closer look a new Cup, O'Reilly, Truck, and LMSC diecast that are now up for preorder, read on...

I have to admit, while the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway last evening kept me engaged, it didn't leave me thrilled. Ryan Blaney started on the pole, and while all of the Team Penske Mustangs ran well, it was Joey Logano who made it to the front and kept the lead for 95 laps including the last one. This is his 39th career win, and the raced version of his Shell/Pennzoil No. 22 Ford is the first of several new 1/64 scale race cars that have been listed for preorder this week. With something to review at every level of stock car racing this week except for the O'Reilly series, let's go!

With the summer bye week behind us, it was great to get back to racing at Iowa Speedway. It was announced that the track would be getting a repave that would start right after the race ended on Sunday. I'm undecided on whether or not that would be ideal as even the best drivers with the best cars had trouble navigating the treacherous turns. Ultimately, it was Ty Gibbs, and young crew chief, Tyler Allen who made a race wining call to take two tires on the final stop of the race. Gibbs, who is maturing before our eyes, used the strategy to his advantage to win for a second time this year. For a look at this, and more cars that were posted, read on.

Even though Nascar was off this week, Lionel Racing made sure there were still plenty of new and interesting 1/64 scale Nascar diecast cars to pay attention to. They also gave collectors a number of raced diecast from the previous week that didn't originally get announcements. Among some of the newly posted raced versions of several cars, there are some great 2026 standard schemes, a few of those could even contended for scheme of the year honors. There's even a special four-pack of 1/64s to take a closer look at this week with a special auto'd version offering. Read on for more....
