Kenny Bernstein Budweiser “First to 300 MPH” 1992 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 Diecast – Action NHRA Collectible

Some moments change a sport forever.

Kenny Bernstein’s run to 300 mph did exactly that.

On March 20, 1992, at Gainesville Raceway during the NHRA Gatornationals, Bernstein drove the legendary Budweiser King Top Fuel Dragster to a groundbreaking 301.70 mph, becoming the first driver in drag racing history to break the 300 mph barrier in the quarter mile.

The achievement instantly became one of the most iconic moments in NHRA history.

Nicknamed the “King of Speed,” Bernstein was already one of the sport’s most accomplished drivers. He is one of the few racers to win NHRA World Championships in both Funny Car and Top Fuel, capturing six total championships while helping usher drag racing into a new era of professionalism and corporate sponsorship.

The bright red Budweiser King dragster became one of the most recognizable machines in motorsports, representing a driver who constantly pushed the limits of performance.

This Kenny Bernstein “First to 300 MPH” 1992 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 diecast, produced by Action / Lionel ARC and limited to 1 of 9,500 made, celebrates that legendary milestone run that forever changed the expectations of Top Fuel racing.
