Here are the best-selling diecasts of the 2021 NASCAR season with a surprise winner
They tell me Christmas is fast approaching. Personally, as a new resident of South Florida who also doesn’t have a Christmas tree, I can’t say for sure.
But, are you on the hunt for last minute gift ideas from a NASCAR enthusiast in your life, here’s a great start.
Lionel is a popular maker of NASCAR diecasts. Each year they publish a list of the most popular small cars throughout the season.
This year, four drivers compile the Top 10: Kevin Havick, Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott and Bubba Wallace.
This year’s list is slightly more varied than in previous years. In 2020, Elliott landed 8 of the top 10 spots available. This year, its diecast dominance only took 4 spots, but it remains the most used name on the list.
