Gold Line: Jeff Gordon '15 Axalta' Chevy SS

It's a bit shocking to think that Jeff Gordon has been out of a full time Cup race car for nearly a decade. Looking back on one of the great careers in Nascar history, there are hundreds of great paint schemes and race cars to explore. Today's P.O.T.D. focuses on Gordon's last race at Texas Motor Speedway. This Axalta/Service King Chevy SS was perhaps one of the best looking cars of his 2015 campaign. For a closer look at today's subject, read on...

Gold Line: Kyle Larson '14 Target Patriotic' Chevy SS

It's incredible to fathom that Kyle Larson has been racing in the Cup series for over a decade. His rookie campaign in 2014. (Larson ran four Cup races in 2013). While his 2014 season didn't yield any wins, his 8 top 5's, and 17 top 10's plus a pole award would be more indicative of his future success. With a full season of support from Target, the 42 had several interesting paint schemes. For a closer look at this one, read on...

Ross Chastain completed the 2022 season with two wins, and had an average finish of 13.3. His two victories came early in the season at COTA, and  Talladega before the debut of new sponsor, Jockey. 2022 marked the year Justin Marks took over from former team boss, Chip Ganassi, and with new ownership came new partnerships.

Gold Line: Denny Hamlin 2013 'Fedex Express' Toyota Camry

By 2013, Denny Hamlin had established himself as an all-time great. He entered the season with 22 cup wins, good enough to be in the top-40. But 2013, aside from a spare win at Homestead, would be impacted by back injury suffered early on at the spring race in Fontana. Denny scored 753 points that season, and he did so with almost a full season sponsor, Fedex. For a closer look at his 2013 Fedex Express Toyota, Read on..

Winner's Circle: William Byron '24 'Axalta Daytona 500' Chevy Camaro

2/10/2025

In 2023 Lionel Racing upgraded its Nascar Authentics brand by creating a new sub line, 'Winner's Circle.' These new waves of cars come in a plastic bubble package and feature raced-won versions of race cars from all three of Nascar's top series. 

Now, this isn't the original WInner's Circle line. Long-time collectors like myself remember the heydays of Nascar diecast, and back in the 90's Winner's Circle diecast were 1/64 scale race cars that came fastened to a plastic pit stall complete with 1/64 scale pit crews rushing to make adjustments. This is not that, but it is a noteworthy effort made by Lionel to add a little something extra to their mainline retail product. For a closer look at this Winner's Circle Daytona 500 Winning Chevy Camaro, Read on...
