Not every driver’s story starts at the drag strip.
This 1999 Larry Nance Mopar Dodge Avenger Pro Stock diecast represents one of the most unique crossovers in motorsports history—when an NBA All-Star stepped into the world of NHRA drag racing.
Larry Nance, best known for his standout career in the NBA and his iconic Slam Dunk Contest win, brought his competitive drive from the basketball court to the Pro Stock class. His involvement in NHRA wasn’t just a novelty—it helped bring new attention to the sport, introducing drag racing to fans who may have never followed it before.
Behind the wheel of Mopar-powered machines like this Dodge Avenger, Nance proved that the drive to compete translates across disciplines. The late 1990s marked a time when Pro Stock was packed with talent, and Nance’s presence added a fresh layer of excitement to an already competitive field.
Produced by Action Collectibles, this 1:24 scale diecast features classic Mopar livery, detailed construction, and a removable hood revealing the Pro Stock engine underneath. Paired with its original Larry Nance-themed packaging, this piece stands out as both a motorsports collectible and a true sports crossover artifact.
This isn’t just a diecast—it’s where hardwood meets horsepower.
