Dale Earnhardt Jr. 2026 Sun Drop Late Model 1:24 Diecast

Sun Drop returns as primary sponsor on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 8 JR Motorsports Chevrolet Late Model for the zMAX CARS Tour event at Newport Speedway on October 3, 2026. The Earnhardt-Sun Drop partnership traces back to the late 1980s, making it one of the more enduring sponsor-driver relationships in short-track racing. Earnhardt enters the Newport race with three top-10 finishes in nine 2026 CARS Tour starts. This officially licensed Lionel Racing diecast replicates the 2026 Sun Drop Late Model as it runs at Newport.
