NASCAR 2011 Season Brings Changes, but Collectors Know the Value of NASCAR Collectibles Stays Strong

A Rare NASCAR Collectible from The Hamilton Collection

(Vocus/PRWEB) February 10, 2011

Change was the name of the game for the 2010 NASCAR season, especially with the advent of the new NASCAR Hall of Fame®. And more new faces, locations and rules are anticipated for this year.

But one thing never changes: the thrill of the races. Motorsport Editions™ has captured this excitement by offering authentic NASCAR gifts, including NASCAR collectibles and NASCAR diecasts.

Our NASCAR diecast collectibles evoke the bold glory of one of America’s most popular sports, from autographed NASCAR diecasts of Richard Petty’s 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo to commemorative figurines of Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt.

You can bring racing’s legendary action into your home with the NASCAR Hall of Fame Collector Plate Collection. Fully authorized by NASCAR®, this collection brings you collector plate NASCAR collectibles starting with full color historic imagery of Dale Earnhardt, to be followed by Richard Petty, Junior Johnson and other greats. You can display your racing heroes on wooden plate stands, which come free with each of the porcelain plates in this limited-edition collection, offered exclusively from Motorsport Editions™.

Another way to commemorate NASCAR events and greats is by collecting the first-ever limited-edition collection of silver-plated NASCAR collectible coins honoring the inductees of the NASCAR Hall Of Fame®, which include first day covers and collector cards. Issue One is the Dale Earnhardt coin and cover, which will be followed by the Richard Petty collectibles, and then by additional NASCAR coins with commemorative covers. As a bonus, collectors will also receive a deluxe collector’s box free to preserve the collection in top condition.

The commemorative coins in this NASCAR Hall of Fame collection are U.S. minted and sealed within transparent protective cases. Plus, the collector cards and coins fit inside their first day covers, which are officially postmarked by the U.S. Post Office in Charlotte on the day of the induction.

The 39mm coins feature vibrant full-color imagery on both sides. They are showcased on collector cards, along with highlights about the inductees’ achievements. Details of the specifications for each coin and stamp are also included.

Included in our NASCAR diecast collectibles is the full array of Dale Earnhardt’s championship cars. If you want an entire collection of Dale Earnhardt’s championship cars right now, you can order a set of his NASCAR diecasts, the “7-Time Champion” Diecast Set , which comes in its own collectible metal case. This limited-edition collector set contains seven 1:64 scale diecast cars, photos, and more.

Earnhardt fans will remember Dale Jr.’s historic tribute to his dad in 2010, when he drove his father’s legendary “blue and yellow” colors to victory at Daytona International Speedway. Our limited-edition collectible ‘Salute to Dale #3’ is a framed print wall décor. It celebrates this historic race with photos of father and son, plus a genuine piece of tire from Dale Jr.’s winning Wrangler Chevrolet.

Of course, Dale Jr., #88, has his own following. One of our great NASCAR gifts – made especially for his female fans – is a Dolly Mama humorous figurine, who carries a sign that says: “If You’re Not Dale Jr. I’m Not Interested!” This limited-edition 5” fan is hand-painted, sporting fun details like the lipstick marks on Dale Jr.’s photo and the 88s that cover her boots.

As NASCAR fans revving up for the 2011 season and anticipating more excitement, visit Motorsport Editions™ for a wide selection of racing collectibles and gifts.

NASCAR – A New National Pastime: 5 Tips to Help You Enjoy Racing with Your Kids

(PRWEB) November 15, 2004

NASCAR auto racing has become one of America’s favorite spectator sports.

But do you know what to pack to keep your young fans safe and entertained for a few hundred laps? “NASCAR provides an excellent family activity,” says Craig Elliott, racing enthusiast and author of Racer Buddies: Opening Day at Daytona! “Both parents and children are naturally drawn to all the unbridled energy and excitement involved in racing.”

A father of two boys, ages four and six, Elliott wanted to bring the racing excitement to the younger generation with his book, Racer Buddies: Opening Day at Daytona!. The book uses racecar characters and actual track locations to take a fun kid’s eye view of the races, while the story teaches racing terminology and solid family values.

Here Elliott shares five tips to help you make the most of a NASCAR race with your kids.

Take earplugs. NASCAR races are very loud and can be damaging to children’s ears. Make sure they have earplugs or headsets to muffle the sound.

Stock up on sunblock. Encourage your kids to slather on a sunblock with a high SPF so they don’t leave looking like a lobster!

Buy a program. Help kids pick out their favorite drivers and cars.

Bring binoculars. Give your kids a chance to see their favorite car and driver up close – from a safe distance.

Give your child a copy of Racer Buddies. As a memento of your special day together, present your child with a copy of this fun and fast-paced tale of cool cars.

“With a little planning, stock car races can be a great place to bring your kids,” says Elliott. NASCAR is the new national family pastime.” And according to an article in Sports Illustrated (July 1, 2002), anybody who thinks differently needs “to have their tires rotated.”

Olympia Steel Buildings Expects Great Things From NASCAR Sponsorship

Mc Kees Rocks, PA (PRWEB) November 17, 2005

Olympia Steel Buildings Sponsors NASCAR Team.

“NASCAR is the world’s fastest growing sport and the possibilities for Olympia are numerous,” says Arnold Davis, owner of Olympia Steel Buildings. In 2006, Davis’ company, Olympia Steel Buildings, will become an associate sponsor on a NASCAR Busch Series racecar for FitzBradshaw Racing.

“We expect great things from our NASCAR partnership — NASCAR fans are right in our target customer demographics,” says Davis. “NASCAR enjoys one of the largest audiences in the entire sporting world. What better venue than NASCAR to advertise Olympia Steel Buildings?”

Olympia’s sponsorship with NASCAR will also afford opportunities for business-to-business relationships with other NASCAR sponsors, in addition to the relationships that can be forged with sports fans.

“We are thrilled to find a world class racing partner in FitzBradshaw Racing, a team with so much to offer Olympia both on and off the race track,” says Davis. FitzBradshaw not only provides Olympia with a connection with NASCAR fans, but — as a Pittsburgh-based company — also provides a strong connection with NFL fans through co-owner Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw was a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers and co-owns FitzBradshaw Racing with Armando and Mimi Fitz.

Olympia has launched a new company web site for NASCAR fans to access the latest FitzBradshaw race results, news releases, and information about the team, owners, drivers, and crew. The new website, http://www.olympiaracing.com, will regularly offer special offers and promotions for Olympia customers and NASCAR fans alike. The website will link to the Olympia site, http://www.olympiabuildings.com, as well as to the FitzBradshaw website.

FitzBradshaw Racing races three Dodge Chargers in the NASCAR Busch Series and is featured weekly on the Speed Channel television show, NBS 24/7. This weekly reality TV program gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on off-the-track for the highly competitive FitzBradshaw NASCAR Busch series team.

Olympia’s logo on the race car and drivers’ uniforms seen both on the track and on the TV show will deliver instant brand recognition for brand-loyal NASCAR fans.

“Branding is the name of the game. We have an excellent product with features and benefits that many of our competitors do not provide. The added visibility will give us an edge in a very competitive market,” Davis emphasizes. “We have already enjoyed an increase in our sales leads and product recognition since the announcement of our NASCAR sponsorship.”

Olympia Steel Buildings® is the industry leader in pre-engineered steel buildings. Olympia buildings are professionally engineered, with flexible building designs, top commercial grade US steel, over 30 years of experience and lifetime warranty protection, and are made in the USA.
