1995 Ford Thunderbird Hooters Nascar 20th Anniversary Alan Kulwicki

The NASCAR Cup Series is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). The series began in 1949 as the 'Strictly Stock Division', and from 1950 to 1970 it was known as the 'Grand National Division.' In 1971, when the series began leasing its naming rights to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, it was referred to as the 'NASCAR Winston Cup Series' (1971–2003). A similar deal was made with Nextel in 2003, and it became the 'NASCAR Nextel Cup Series' (2004–2007). Sprint acquired Nextel in 2005, and in 2008 the series was renamed the 'NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' (2008–2016). In December 2016, it was announced that Monster Energy would become the new title sponsor, and the series was renamed the 'Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series' (2017–2019). In 2019, NASCAR rejected Monster's offer to extend the current naming rights deal beyond the end of the season. NASCAR subsequently announced its move to a new tiered sponsorship model beginning with the 2020 season similar to other US based professional sports leagues, where it was simply known as the 'NASCAR Cup Series', with the sponsors of the series being called Premier Partners. The four Premier Partners are Busch Beer, Coca-Cola, GEICO, and Xfinity.

Alan Dennis Kulwicki, más conocido como Alan Kulwicki (Greenfield, Wisconsin, 14 de diciembre de 1954-Blountville, Tennessee, 1 de abril de 1993), fue un piloto de automovilismo de velocidad estadounidense, que se destacó en los stock cars.

En total, cosechó 5 victorias y 38 top 5 en la categoría.

Durante toda su carrera corrió para la marca Ford, y en casi toda su trayectoria compitió con su equipo propio.

Kulwicki fue el que creó la vuelta polaca, que es un festejo que empleó en sus victorias, que era una vez terminada la carrera, daba una vuelta con su auto pero al sentido invertido del circuito. Actualmente es usado por varios pilotos de NASCAR como festejo de victoria.

A la edad de 38 años, Kulwicki murió el 1 de abril de 1993 en un accidente de avión, cerca de Bristol, Tennessee.

1963 Ford Galaxy #54 Jimmy Pardue 1:64 Nascar Racing Collectables

James "Jimmy" Pardue (October 26, 1930 – September 22, 1964) was a NASCAR race car driver who lived in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, USA.
He made his debut in 1955 at Martinsville, where he finished 28th after suffering hub problems in his Chevrolet Bel Air vehicle. He made his first full-time attempt in 1960 where he had eleven top-tens. In 1963, he won his first race at Richmond, followed up by another win the following year at Dog Track Speedway.
Pardue's car number was 54. A part of his career was during the same time that the popular television show, "Car 54, Where Are You" was running on network television. On the door of his car, he added a small "Car" above the number, and "Here I Am" below it.
In 1964, he was doing a tire test for Goodyear at Charlotte Motor Speedway, when a tire blew and caused him to lose control. The car went through the guardrail in Turns 3 and 4 and came to rest outside the track. The 33-year-old Pardue did not survive the wreck. Despite his season being cut short, he still finished 5th in points.
Items from Pardue's career, including a door from his car and Burton & Robinson Racing Team apparel, are on display at the Wilkes Heritage Museum in Wilkesboro
