Since it's founding in 1948, NASCAR stock car racing has been incredibly popular, including big races such as the Daytona 500 and the Winston Cup. Companies like Revell, Action, and Team Caliber quickly began producing plastic and diecast models of the cars, later to be joined by Hot Wheels.
The most valuable NASCAR model cars are those that won big races, had famous or charismatic drivers, or big-name sponsors. Die-cast or pre-built models are typically most valuable in mint condition in their original boxes, while kits are prized unbuilt in their boxes. The most common scale for Nascar models is 1/24, but there are many variations.
