Diecast Update: Week of 10/5/26

10/5/2026

One of the most overused sayings used when talking about the best drivers and teams in Nascar, especially as the season wears on, is that the 'cream always rises to the top.' While the saying is overused, the sentiment is truer than ever with just five races remaining in 2026. This week marked an uptick in 1/64 diecast preorders from Lionel Racing compared to what was announced last week. Our spread begins with two very high performing drivers in two top performing cars. Both Corey Day and Chase Briscoe made use of their driving talent and high end race cars to win this weekend. Their cars, along with several others are on tap for today...

According to the Gluck Poll, Atlanta ended up being the best race of the 2026 season. Even after a lengthy rain delay that resulted in a race that started at 7pm resuming well after midnight, the summer Atlanta race yielded great ratings. Ryan Blaney who has been leading the Fords all year, and typically runs very well at Atlanta would not be denied. All race long he was challenged, and all race long he responded. Blaney's raced Bodyarmor Flash IV Mustang leads the way in the 1/64 scale this week, and we've got cars in almost every series up for preorder now. For all the latest and a full break down, read more here!

For a while, it appeared as though the long awaited Hendrick resurgence was going to happen. William Byron won both of the first and second stages of the race, and led 94 of the 267 laps during the eero 400.

That raced version, and several other new 1/64 scale cars are now up for preorder from Lionel Racing. We've also got a first look at some newly finished Nascar 1/64 products that have surfaced online to take look at as well. For all that and more, read on...

Diecast Update: Week of 5/25/2026

5/25/2026

It has been a week of unprecedented sadness in the Nascar world. The sudden and tragic loss of Nascar great, Kyle Busch has left the racing world reeling. The sport that brings so many, so much joy, turned into a nightmare when it was announced on Thursday, May 21st, that Busch had passed away at age 41. Kyle leaves behind a family and the racing community far better off than what he found it, and a legacy that will last forever. We will carry on this week as always, but of course mindfully of what's been lost.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. The addition of COTA (Circuit of the Americas) to the Nascar schedule has been a stroke of genius by the racing league’s game makers. The Next Gen stock cars look great on the track meant for F1 cars, and the racing has matured into something really great. What no one could have seen coming was Nascar history being made in Tyler Reddick's third straight win, the only time a driver has claimed the first three races of a season, ever. There's that and so much more from another week of 1/64 preorders. For all the latest, read on...
