It’s time to put the pedal to the metal!

Pixar’s “Cars” and NASCAR have inspired the new Lane Change Race Playset and six newly designed die-cast vehicles from Mattel! Get ready to race the one-and-only Lightning McQueen against vehicles inspired by real NASCAR drivers, including: Carstin “Ace” Dillon (Austin Dillon), GoGo Logano (Joey Logano), William Byrev (William Byron), Ryan “Inside” Laney (Ryan Blaney), and Bubba Wheelhouse (Bubba Wallace).

Rev your engines for this fast-paced collection!

Each of these slick 1:55 scale character racers is inspired by a racing great, and features unique NASCAR-inspired designs — as well as matching pit-stop barriers! Updated with new metallic finishes and rims, these vehicles make for authentic storytelling collectibles, plus endless racing play for ages 3 and up.

I am speed! Kicking off the collection is Lightning McQueen from “Cars!” With his iconic red shine, yellow lightning bolt, and RUST-EZE branding, #95 is always ready to race.

Inspired by second generation NASCAR driver and four-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Austin Dillon, make way for #3: Carstin “Ace” Dillon!

Red, yellow, and lucky #22, you might recognize this one… GoGo Logano is inspired by the two-time NASCAR champion himself, Joey Logano!

Introducing #24, William Byrev, inspired by none other than NASCAR’s William Byron — who holds 13 career victories!

Don’t blink, or you might miss Ryan “Inside” Laney — inspired by #12, reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion, Ryan Blaney!

Want to get a look at life in the fast lane? Bubba Wheelhouse, inspired by NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace, sports his iconic #23, with purple metallic shine and yellow rims.
