Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: NASCAR Series 2026 (End of Line in 2026??)

For the past 4-5 years, wed have had a NASCAR CARS collab with real NASCAR drivers with "CARS" character names in a series of die casts - Walmart exclusive ... the 2026 releases are the first with 2-packs. They have not changed the paint schemes/livery look from last year to this year but they all in the new "spectraflame" like metallic look - sharp and classy looking with the biggest release, Dale Earnhardt Jr. (from CARS 1) with an eyelid line and in metallic red. His first (re) release in over a decade!

Gogo Logano & Dale Jr. 2-pack. You also get the race barrier with Dale Jr's #8 but the tool chest carry no logo or markings, it's just the "official" color of that sponsor (Dale Jr's has no sponsor (since his sponsor IRL was a beer company at the time) so he's just red.

Lightning & Carstin Ace Dillion.

Danny Swervez & Ryan Inside Laney.

Chase Racelott & Bubba Wheelhouse.

I think these are the only 8 re-releases for 2026 ... missing any? I have seen photos of a single Dale Jr so there are probably other single releases for 2026 but I have not seen any ...

The rumor is that since CARS is collabing with F1 in the future so this might/seems likely the last year for the NASCAR series but it is going out in metallic style.

Collect 'em all.
