Unfortunately, the iconic Winston Cup Museum is shutting down permanently. December 16th will be the museum’s last day of operation. As a blessing in disguise, this has provided NASCAR collectors a chance to own a piece of history. Considering the museum’s acute financial crisis, authorities have decided to auction off a major part of the collection at the Mecum Auto Auctions.

The auction will be held in Kissimmee, Florida, from January 2 to January 14, 2024. This is an incredible opportunity to own some of the well-remembered cars in NASCAR and race-used collectibles. The Mecum official website is welcome to registrations, and this is your chance to grab your favorite driver’s memorable vehicles.
