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.
Created just for “Cars” fans, this playset is inspired by real NASCAR races! The 2.5-foot track set is designed to look like the Los Angeles Raceway, which fans will recognize from the first “Cars” film.
With no batteries needed, this track playset with a cranking booster allows kids and fans alike to launch the racers across the track to try to take the lead! It includes two of the racers, Lightning McQueen and Carstin “Ace” Dillon, and even connects with other “Cars” playsets.
“Cars” fans can now shop the full Disney and Pixar’s Cars NASCAR Diecast Vehicles and Lane Change Race Playset, exclusively available at Walmart.
