The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

![]() Today's Car Of The Day is Lionel's 2017 Ford Fusion NASCAR stock car (Danica Patrick). ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car, please visit: Danica Patrick ![]() The car represented here never took a green flag. Sponsor Nature's Bakery reneged on their contract in January. This can't represent a 2016 car since her team was running Chevrolets at the time. So what we have here is a situation similar to the one Lake Speed and Melling Racing faced in 1997 when they signed the University of Nebraska to be a sponsor only for them to back out at the last minute. Diecast of the Speed car was also made, and is challenging to find today. ![]()

Oh the interesting world of NASCAR sponsorship - like the Lake Speed car of '97 this will be one of the more interesting collectibles in years to come, I imagine. Got to be hard for drivers to lose the major sponsor before or even during the racing season. As for the model - nice to see a 2017 Fusion "stock car". |
