Lumina Stocker

Lumina Stocker
Debut series	Race Team
Produced	1995 only
Designer	Larry Wood
Number	12794

Description

This casting is based on a Chevrolet Lumina NASCAR chassis; the Lumina was first campaigned in 1989, replacing the Monte Carlo due to the discontinuation of that nameplate. The Lumina received numerous complaints in its debut season due to an apparently unfair advantage of Chevrolet racing an aluminum car. This casting is essentially the Pontiac Stocker with the grille removed and smoothed out and the front bumper extended.

It was originally supposed to be released in 1994 under the name No Fear Race Car, but for unknown reasons, the casting was released a year later and the name was given to an open-wheel race car which would eventually be released under the name of Hot Wheels 500.

There is no #25 Exxon NASCAR. But there is a Chevy Exxon #51 NASCAR.... from the 1990 Days of Thunder Movie (so wrong year)

Noticing the "Hendrick Motorsports" decal gives a hint of what this car could've been; Ken Schrader #25 car from 1993/ 94... which was the #25 KODIAK car. BUT did sponsor Exxon in the back!

1993/ 94 might in the wrong year, but considering the this casting was suppose to be in an Interstate variation, possibly for the Pro Racing series which cane out in those years, its not too far out of reach of a theory.
