Holiday Gift Ideas for NASCAR Fans

Auto racing fans, like any other sport, stand by their favorite team through thick and thin. They proudly wear their number one driver on their hats, t-shirts, and jackets, and collect all their die-cast cars and other memorabilia. Are you looking for the perfect gift for the NASCAR fan on your gift list? Here are some ideas they'll be proud to display.

NASCAR.com's shopping area has all the latest NASCAR collectibles, apparel, and more. Popular this holiday season will be the gear and collectibles for the inaugural class into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Inductees Dale Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, Richard Petty, Bill France Sr., and Bill France Jr. have their likenesses on t-shirts, hats, die-cast cars, replica helmets, clocks, and more. For the NASCAR fan who has been around the sport for many years, these pieces will take them back to the glory days of NASCAR.

For the youngest fans on your list - or the young at heart - NASCAR.com features the Hoodie Bears - adorable 20" plush bears wearing a hooded sweatshirt featuring some of today's top drivers. Produced by Toy Factory, the drivers featured are Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, Kyle Busch, Jeff Burton, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano, and Clint Bowyer. At $12.99 per bear, these are an affordable present that the child will love for years.

Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has been a mainstay in NASCAR for 40 years. Celebrate the 40th anniversary of RCR with a number of commemorative products, featuring die-cast cars, t-shirts, and hats for the fan on your list.

For the NASCAR fan who seems to have everything, check out NASCAR.com's selection of gifts from Godinger, like the 32 oz. Dale Earnhardt Jr. drink dispenser shaped like a vintage gas pump (also available with the NASCAR logo), or the five-piece NASCAR barbecue set with carrying case.

Fans of Dale Jr. know his dog, Killer. Now you can get that fan a t-shirt with Killer's precious mug on it, with proceeds going to the Humane Society of Iredell County. The shirts are available in unisex, youth (2-18), and ladies fitted styles.

Another electronic retailer with a nice selection of NASCAR gift ideas is QVC. The network and online site features die-cast cars, calendars, specialty memorabilia, and apparel for the smallest fans right on up to their parents. For the youngest of fans, the Kasey Kahne Ringer Pajamas, available in 3 month and 9 month sizes, will keep them warm in the off-season, and the Ladies Long-Sleeve Hooded Top, featuring Jimmie Johnson, Dale Jr., Kasey Kahne, or Jeff Gordon, will please the female fans on your list.
