It was 2005 and it was Rusty Wallace's last year in the NASCAR Cub Series. He arrived in this beautiful blue flamed Miller Lite Dodge Charger. A special paint scheme for a special race track. Rusty Wallace, throughout his career, had nine wins at Bristol. You just always seem to run good here and he had a knack for the tight, high banked oval.

This is one car of 444 produced and is an RCCA Club Car.

I want to give a big shout out to the customer service representative at Lionel Racing who saved my bacon. As you can see with this older diecast I have, one of the hood ties popped off and I have no idea where it had disappeared to. I emailed Lionel and within a day they shipped me a bag of hood ties. Received it and they nicely will fit in the missing hole! I should have enough for future cars that may lose them as well. Thank you Lionel Racing!

Just wanted to pass this positive message on to others and let you know that they have hood ties if you need them.

This car is Riley Herbst's 2025 Sunny Delight Toyota Camry. In fact it was the brightest thing of his 2025 season. Racing for 23/11, Herbst had no top tens and was the worst finishing car of full-time drivers landing a 35th points place finish. His best finish was 14th followed by five 17th place finishes.

Unfortunately for him, his 2026 so far isn't much better. At the time of writing this, and eight races into the season, he is 29th in points. Here's to hoping he has more delight and a brighter future than what we've seen so far.
