Brickyard 400 toy car
| Description: |
On August 6, 1994, the inaugural Brickyard 400 auto race was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This was not only the first NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) race held at the Speedway, but the first time since the track opened in 1911 that there was more than one race held there per year. This toy car is typical of the cars raced by NASCAR, and was sold in honor of the first Brickyard 400. |
