Whit Bazemore Winston 1997 Ford Mustang Funny Car 1:24 Diecast – NHRA Iconic Livery Collectible

Every driver has a starting point.

Whit Bazemore started behind the lens.

Before climbing into a nitro-burning Funny Car, Bazemore spent his early days at the track as a photographer, capturing the very machines he would one day drive. That journey—from spectator to competitor—makes his story one of the most unique in drag racing.

By 1997, Bazemore had established himself in the NHRA Funny Car ranks, piloting the instantly recognizable Winston Ford Mustang Funny Car. The Winston sponsorship era is one of the most iconic periods in NHRA history, representing a time when the sport was growing rapidly with strong branding, packed grandstands, and fierce competition.

The Winston Mustang stood out in the staging lanes with its bold look, symbolizing a golden era of Funny Car racing where drivers like Bazemore were proving they belonged among the best.

Bazemore’s career would continue to rise, earning multiple NHRA national event wins and finishing runner-up in the 2003 Funny Car championship, solidifying his place as one of the toughest competitors of his generation.

This Whit Bazemore Winston 1997 Ford Mustang Funny Car 1:24 diecast, produced by Action / Lionel ARC, captures that early chapter of a driver who turned passion into a career.

Pre-owned and in great condition, still in its original packaging, this collectible is a standout piece for fans of classic NHRA sponsorships and one of the sport’s most relatable driver stories.
