Kenny Bernstein Budweiser King 2001 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 Action ARC 1 of 2,772

When fans think of legendary sponsorships and unforgettable personalities in NHRA history, one name instantly rises to the top — Kenny Bernstein, The Bud King.

This Kenny Bernstein Budweiser King 2001 Top Fuel Dragster by Action / Lionel ARC celebrates one of the most iconic combinations the sport has ever seen. Finished in the unmistakable Budweiser red livery, this highly detailed 1:24 scale diecast captures the look and attitude that helped define an entire era of drag racing.

Even better, this collectible is a limited edition piece — only 1 of 2,772 produced, making it an excellent addition for serious NHRA collectors and Kenny Bernstein fans alike.

For decades, beer sponsorships helped fuel the popularity of motorsports, and no driver represented that era bigger than Kenny Bernstein. Nicknamed “The Bud King,” Kenny became one of the most recognizable figures in drag racing history thanks to his success on the track, larger-than-life personality, and instantly recognizable Budweiser race cars. The phrase “This Bud’s For You” became just as connected to NHRA as the smell of nitro and burnt rubber.

Bernstein wasn’t just a marketing powerhouse — he was one of the sport’s true innovators and fiercest competitors. Known as “The King of Speed,” he became the first driver in NHRA history to officially exceed 300 MPH in the quarter mile, forever changing the sport and cementing his legacy as one of drag racing’s all-time greats.

This 2001 Action ARC release showcases incredible detail throughout, including authentic Budweiser graphics, detailed engine and chassis components, realistic Goodyear slicks, wheelie bars, and accurate sponsor markings. The long, sleek Top Fuel dragster body paired with the iconic Budweiser colors makes this one of the standout diecasts from the early 2000s nitro era.

Whether you’re a dedicated NHRA collector, a fan of Kenny Bernstein, or someone who appreciates the golden age of sponsorship-heavy drag racing, this diecast represents a major piece of motorsports history.

At Revelry1, we love preserving the machines and legends that built drag racing into what it is today — and few carried the torch bigger than Kenny Bernstein and the Budweiser King dynasty.
