Michael McDowell #34 Love's 2021 ELITE COLOR CHROME 1/24 DAYTONA 500 WIN ONLY 52

  
The car is numbered 38 out of just 52 pieces made. Although it looks like a gold color it's actually the color chrome version.

McDowell got some damage on the right front and on his right rear during the race and it's noticeable on the car which is very cool. Looks like "200 mph" tape. Journeyman McDowell took the lead going into turn 3 on the last lap when Penske teammates Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski got together on the last lap opening the door for him to win the race. The wreck started a chain reaction and resulted in the "big one" where several other cars as well got a lot of damage.

NASCAR called the caution and it froze the field and McDowell had the lead at that time. It was the ONLY lap he led during the race and the one that matters most. That was the third time a driver in five years won the Daytona 500 by just leading the last lap of the race it also happened in 2017 (Kurt Busch) and 2018 (Austin Dillon). It's just not as fun to collect anymore without him. Check out my other auctions this week.
