IMPORTANT: Nothing in this is final, everything is in a constant state of change.

This image represents a project I've been working on here and there for twenty years.

It began as a simple idea: What if my favorite cartoon characters drove in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series? A melding of two of my favorite passions as a kid. Over time the idea has grown and evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined. There are rules that I am operating on:

The cars mostly come from the 2001 Winston Cup season (the first season I ever watched), but I make exceptions for 2000 and 2002 since the '00, '01 and '02 cars look similar in some cases. I may even allow cars from other seasons and series if there are memorable car numbers that aren't currently here (0, 37, 38, 41, 60, 74, etc.)

Any cars that have the same sponsor as other cars is something that NASCAR allows in reality:

-9 and 19 were in several races together, both driving for Dodge

-26 and 66 were in several race together, both driving for Kmart

-82 and 83 were in several races together, both driving for Red Bull

If things were different:

-01 and 04 would've been in the same race, both driving for Cingular

-7 and 68 would've been in the same race, both driving for Nations Rent

-14 and 41 would've been in the same race, both driving for Conseco (in '01, 41 was the same sponsor and paint scheme as 14, but I chose the '02 Target car for my list)

-23 and 90 would've been in the same race, both driving for Hills Bros.

-31 and 48 would've been in the same race, both driving for Lowe's

I will ONLY use characters originally created for Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, so no cartoons that existed prior to their inception or shows based on franchises (No Scooby Doo, Teen Titans, TMNT etc.) and even then I'm biased towards certain cartoons (No Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Gumball, Loud House, Regular Show etc.) Pretty much cartoons before 2007.

The car assignments are based on shared color schemes between car and character, so similarities with real drivers are purely coincidental, though some characters have difficult colors to work with, so some car switching will inevitably occur, and some might even be dropped entirely. Teams will simply be Team Cartoon Network and Team Nickelodeon. I'm trying for an even split of characters between both cartoon networks. lol geddit

This roster is also synched up with my acquisition of 1/64 scale NASCAR die-casts. DC/HW means 'Die Cast or Hot Wheels". For cars that don't exist as proper die casts, I'll use generic Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars. A green box means I now have that car, and a red box is for cars that exist but are rare. I've uploaded this mainly to preserve it, update it and keep track of my collection, but you can enjoy it and give some feedback if you wish.
