NASCAR driver at risk of missing the Daytona 500?.

NASCAR: Surprising name continuously linked to new seat.

NASCAR Cup Series: New team set to compete in 2024.

Larson, however, is set to pilot the #5 Chevrolet, which hasn’t been used since the 2017 season when Kasey Kahne drove it. The team had already confirmed that Alex Bowman, who has competed for the team since the 2018 season, is set to move to the #48 Ally Financial Chevrolet to replace Johnson after he retires, but Larson effectively becomes Johnson’s true “replacement” in terms of Rick Hendrick’s driver lineup.īut Bowman had driven the #88 Chevrolet. The rocking motor pod and copper strip connections on SCX ones are also problematic so we allow soldering of the strip and gluing of the pod to stop any connectivity issues.With the addition of Kyle Larson to Hendrick Motorsports’ driver lineup for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season, there is no more #88 Chevrolet.Īs has been speculated for several weeks, Hendrick Motorsports confirmed that Kyle Larson is set to join the team as their fourth driver for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season with seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson set to retire. If you can't find any good ones then there are a number of urethane replacements on the market but, if you have the good fortune to have a decent set of treated SCX ones then they are definitely better. Tires are also a nightmare, a lot of SCX ones are rock hard and impervious to any treatment. There can be a 25% difference in maximum revs and they all let the smoke out eventually, whereas a Scalextric motor will last forever. As stated above you need an RX42B motor but these vary enormously and are notoriously unreliable. Not all SCX cars are equal though and you may have to buy several to get a good one.

There have been at least four different Scalextric versions but only the final incarnation (COT sidewinder) is worth buying. Nobody uses the COT SCX versions because of the stub axles and low ground clearance of the splitter but the Scalextric COT versions are the only ones that are remotely competitive with the SCX cars. They corner on rails and gain huge amounts of time. The SCX ones are far better in the handling department, if a little slower down the straights. The track is wood/copper tape so plastic track and/or magnet racing may be different. We run box stock with no upgrades allowed. Our club's NASCAR championship has been won by an SCX car every year since 2012 despite some of our best racers' efforts with the Scalextric version.
