This Was The Most Popular 2025 NASCAR Car
Talk about making a good first impression.
Lionel Racing has released its list of top selling NASCAR cars for 2025 and number one was only in one race.
JR Motorsports made its Cup Series debut at the Daytona 500 with Justin Allgaier driving the Traveller Whiskey Chevrolet to a ninth place finish, but he took the top spot on the sales chart.
The clean version of the car was the best-seller and the raced version, complete with battle scars and repairs, took the third spot.

In between them was the throwback Budweiser late model that Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove to 10th place in the Cars Tour race at Anderson Motor Speedway in August. The paint scheme was inspired by his 2001 Pepsi 400-winning car.
Next up was the Atlanta-winning NAPA sponsored Chevy of NASCAR’s most popular driver Chase Elliott, while the Daytona 500-winning car of his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, William Byron, was fifth.

Kyle Larson’s 2025 NASCAR Cup Series championship-winning Chevy took the sixth and seventh spots with the clean and raced versions, which were followed by Connor Zilisch’s Red Bull Cup Series car, Josh Berry’s Wood Brothers Racing Las Vegas-winning Ford and Shane van Gisbergen’s Red Bull Chevy.
“These best-sellers reflect the incredible diversity of NASCAR fandom — from legendary names like Dale Earnhardt Jr. to rising stars like Connor Zilisch, Lionel CEO Howard Hitchcock said in a news release.

Allgaier will be back in the No. 40 car next February attempting to qualify for the Daytona 500 again, so he could repeat on the 2026 Lionel list.
