Ryan Preece secured an emotional win at the 2026 Clash Feb. 4 at Bowman Gray, his first victory in the Cup Series. However, due to Coca-Cola not granting Lionel Racing the rights to produce the diecast, Preece’s first win will not be offered or produced.  

Lionel Racing replied to a post on X, formerly Twitter, “We do not have approvals to offer” Preece’s race-winning No. 60 Coca-Cola car. On Lionel’s forum, the company responded to a string of hopeful collectors advocating the car be produced by stating, “Not happening, y’all.”

Diecast Mag has made several attempts over the last year to glean more information from Coca-Cola on its refusal to allow NASCAR diecasts to be produced bearing the company’s logos, but Coca-Cola has not responded to these requests.

It appears the last time Coca-Cola permitted Lionel Racing to produce a Coca-Cola-sponsored diecast was Tony Stewart’s 2016 Darlington throwback scheme.

Numerous cars have since been sponsored by the company’s brands. Daniel Suarez, Denny Hamlin, Ross Chastain and Chase Elliott have all run Coca-Cola-sponsored cars in recent years that were not offered as diecasts. Other brands under the company’s umbrella, including Monster Energy, Minute Maid Aguas Frescas and Dasani, have also served as primary sponsors in the Next Gen era without these cars being offered.

As such, the 2026 season will begin with a Raced Win not being offered as a 1/24 or 1/64 diecast. This did not occur throughout the 2025 season, in which all Raced Win cars were offered. At least two of these will not be produced, Bubba Wallace’s and Austin Cindric’s Daytona Duels Raced Wins, but all 2025 Raced Win cars were or are being offered for pre-orders or have since been produced.
