Description[]
During the late 90s Hot Wheels released the Hot Wheels Legends and the 100% Hot Wheels series, with both featuring highly detailed castings made from small intricate pieces especially for 1:64 scale models. Some of the models are now very rare and highly sought after.
During this time, Hot Wheels had another parallel line of basic castings that was doing well during the height of NASCAR's popularity of the 90s, namely the Pro Racing series, which were essentially closed curbside models. Consequently, they created lines in multiple scales ranging from 1:64, 1:43 and 1:24 scale NASCAR Stockers that, just like the 100% Hot Wheels, were highly detailed with intricate pieces, featuring opening hoods to reveal engine detail.
Initially NASCAR themed highly detailed castings were released in the 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Legends series and later in 2000 with the Crew's Choice series, both of which featured removable bodies in multiple scales. The later released Hot Wheels Racing Select series were also offered in 1:24 and 1:64 scales, which in most cases were duplicates from the Crew's Choice series, did not feature removable bodies despite being based on the same castings. A total of 27 different models were known to have been produced for the Racing Select 2000 line, while there were 16 current day models and 7 classic legacy models for a total of 23 models produced for the the Racing Select 2001 line.
