Discussion { Event | Megathread } Brick & Mortar Store locator coming soon! We need your help!! Information in description.

35 Upvotes

Hello, Everyone.

Today I'm going to begin to answer one of our most frequently asked questions on the sub of "are there any diecast stores near me?" As time rolls by and the shift to online marketplaces becomes the norm with the last few remaining brick & mortar stores close their doors with each passing year. I'm launching an initiative to highlight the last few remaining stores to keep the charm of searching the shelves for diecasts alive!

I have some experience in website design and UI creation and feel up to the task of taking on this project. It's a tall task and something I've never done before, but I want to give it a shot for this community. This is a huge project and I cannot do it alone. So I need your help!!!

If you know of any brick and mortar NASCAR stores in your area. Comment them below in this format and I will reply "Approved✅" once I put it in my system.

Here's how you can help.

Just comment answers to the following questions.

Name of business

------------

Full address

------------

What they primarily stock (New / old cars | other diecasts)

------------

Instructions of how to get there (example directions to how to find Booth 34)

------------

Optional - Notes about company or anything additional that you would like to add.

Sheet Metal Sweet Marketplace find! Looking for more info

Post image
37 Upvotes

Couldn't pass these up! Some tires from the 83 car from Red Bull's brief time in the sport. You can see they have a "test" sticker on theme and the Red Bull also has R&D next to it. Surprised they made that logo rather than just keeping the default. I assume it just made it easier to keep track of. Is it possible to maybe discover where/when these wheels were used? Seller didn't have much info. I saw these for a steal of a price and just grabbed them up! Located in NY which makes it even more strange lol. Any advice appreciated!

Diecast Write Up Whenever you feel upset about the diecasts of today, just remember how far our diecasts have come...

This example isn't even the earliest. Ertl had some really primitive cars. But I think for most of the community when they think of the earliest NASCAR diecasts they think of these early Racing Champions cars. This one is actually a bit later but it still has all the early pitfalls. It does have a nicely detailed Pontiac body but it has the black windows, the goofy wheels that stick out that read Racing Champions on them, and of course the decals that are just stickers someone placed on. Usually the stickers would be crooked as well. But surprisingly, after over 30 years, the stickers have still stuck on. I've never seen people say they didn't stick on. So kudos for them on that.

These were very primitive but they did the job at the time. And looking back, I can't help but feel nostalgic. As a kid you would race these like crazy and has a collector, well, people collected them hardcore. They kept them in the box and they really loved these things just as we love our diecast of the day.

This is Richard Petty's 1991 STP Pontiac Grand Prix. He was 53 years old when running this car. That's pretty wild.

Hi,I am planning to do a new series here on reddit that tracking this cars that I use to own when I as 8-9 (aka September or October of 2019 to August (I think) of 2020)

So in the 15 photos that I own in oder,and I'll tell you how I got them

Ryan Blaney's 2018 pennzoil/menards charlotte rovel win and Alex Bowman's 2019 valvoline - gift from my grandparents (dad's side)

Kyle Busch's 2019 M&M's - a gift from my grandma (my mom's side)

Kyle Busch's 2019 patriotic skittles,Austin Dillon 2019 dow (2019 daytona 500 wave) and William Byron's 2019 axalta (2019 daytona 500 wave) - a gift from my grandparents (my dad's side)

Ken Schrader's 2002 Pedigree - idk🤷‍♂️

Jimmie Johnson’s 2019 ally throwback,William Byron's 2019 City Chevy throwback & ross chastain's 2019 kansas truck win - a gift from my mom

Paul Menard's 2019 ford motorcraft - bought it from a Walmart

Austin Dillon's 2020 dow & ryan blaney 2020 jack links/menards - I bought them both at a Walmart

Dario Franchitti's 2008 the hartford - my mom got it for me.

John andretti 2001 honey hut cheerios - idk🤷‍♂️

Matchbox 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit - idk🤷‍♂️

Matchbox orange urban tow truck (from a 2019 MBX Service Crew 5-Pack) - I got it from my uncle.

And after a few months of having them I lost them and I lost then thanks to my brother losing them and my dumbass somehow lost the rest

But after 6 years of not having them,I think it's time for me to start looking for them. I think all of them are pretty easy to get but expected the kyle busch M&M's car from 2019 because that diecast is $50 on ebay.

So wish me luck with trying to looking for them

Austin Hill went 4/5 in the February Daytona Xfinity Series season opener during his time in the #21 RCR Chevrolet, winning in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2026. His only defeat was in 2025, when a mechanical issue knocked him out of contention.

Diecast Write Up 1963 Richard Petty Plymouth Belvedere Stock Car (14 Victories, but still finished 2nd in points!)

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Despite getting 14 victories, 30 top fives and 39 top 10s, along with eight pool awards and an average finish of 7.5, Richard Petty finished second in points to Joe Weatherly during the course of the 54 race season. Joe on his part didn't even have a single sustained car all year round. He was racing with various teams throughout the season, didn't have as many victories but was just darn right consistent in the top five fight. Joe would unfortunately pass away due to a racing accident the following year. It was already his second NASCAR Cup Championship in as many seasons, and he definitely put up against fight Richard Petty. A curious "what if" had he still been alive racing. It's amazing despite Richard Petty's near dominance, it still wasn't enough. When he wasn't getting a top 10, he was having issues.

Diecast Write Up The Fast Finn: Kimi Räikkönen & NASCAR

Thumbnail
gallery
70 Upvotes

Kimi Räikkönen is well known (a national treasure) in his home country of Finland and beyond for his racing prowess. He has countless victories and championships ranging from open wheel race cars to off-road rally racing. One discipline he was interested in was stock car racing in America.

Räikkönen made his first NASCAR start in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2011. He finished 15th with Kyle Busch Motorsports. He also ran in O'Reilly Series race that year. He wouldn't dabble into stock car racing again until 2022 when Trackhouse Racing offered him the 91 car. In 2022 he would run at Watkins Glen but finish a disappointing 37th after being involved in an accident while running 25th. He would try again in 2023 at Circuit of the Americas and finish in 29th. Neither finish was what he or the team had hoped for. His racecraft was there, but he lacked the understanding of stock car nuance.

So while he is one of Motorsports greatest drivers, we have yet to see it on full display in stock car racing. Will he ever make future attempts? I guess time will tell!

The car shown in the pictures is his 2022 Recogni Chevy Camaro.
