For any NASCAR memorabilia collector, it is a dream to have all possible diecasts of their favorite drivers’ cars. The sports official diecast builder, Lionel Racing, recently put out a top 10 list. In it are listed the top 10 most sought-after diecast models this year. It doesn’t take long to realize that Chase Elliott was a clear favorite of the collectors this year.

As per a tweet shared by NASCAR YouTuber, Eric Estepp, four out of the ten spots are taken by Chase Elliott models. Meanwhile, the top spot was taken by Ross Chastain’s Martinsville car, most probably, because of his incredible wall-riding move at the Martinsville Speedway.
