History
The Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Monte Carlo No.48 Lowe's car, driven by Jimmie Johnson, is a favourite with NASCAR fans.
Success in NASCAR ultimately depends upon many things, but none more important than the engines that propel NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series cars to speeds approaching 200 mph. In 20 years of NEXTEL Cup competition, Hendrick Motorsports has earned its reputation as NASCAR's premier engine-building operation. As the only team in history to win four straight NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series championships (1995-98), Hendrick Motorsports has built a reputation as one of the most innovative operations in stock-car racing.
The Scalextric car
This, the fourth evolution of Scalextric NASCAR cars, is configured with a sidewinder motor (the preferred set-up) and the new round guide blade system which is also now accepted as a huge contribution to improved performance. The livery and sponsor detailing is to the usual faultless standard. A new driver figure is included in the detailed interior.
Advantages:
Modern NASCAR cars are not currently produced by other slot-car manufacturers. The colourful cars are robust with no small parts likely to break off, ensuring easy door handle-to-door-handle or drafting duels.
Features:
Side Winder, rear mounted, SP motor. Quick-change braid plate.
