On this week's edition of the Diecast Update, we've got a solid bunch of 1/64 preorders to take a closer look at. As you can see by this week's thumbnail photo, there's a bunch of red, black and orange! We have at least one representative from each of the three Cup series OEMs, and a pair of raced late model stock cars to investigate as well. This has certainly been a down week with fewer liveries announced, but a few of these are big time sponsors that have purchased multiple races in 2026. Without further delay, let's take a look at what's up for preorder for the week of 1/26. 

It’s been great to take a step back over the last few weeks to rejuvenate and rest for the upcoming season. With the countdown to the Dayton 500 on, and the Clash at Bowman Gray just a few weeks away, the new story lines and most importantly for this page, new diecast announcements ​are rolling in. Over the past few weeks, there have been several new paint schemes announced, and the majority of them have come from the HMS garage. There are several other schemes to take a look at (eleven in total), and a lot for collectors to contemplate!
