“The King at full throttle—when Top Fuel power met Budweiser dominance.”
Few names in NHRA history carry the weight of Kenny “The Bud King” Bernstein—and even fewer collectibles capture his dominance in Top Fuel like this one.
This 1997 Bud King Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 diecast by Action / Lionel RCCA represents Bernstein during the later stages of his legendary career, when he had already cemented himself as one of the most influential figures in drag racing history.
Bernstein wasn’t just a champion—he was a pioneer. From Funny Car success to becoming one of the first drivers to break into the 300 MPH barrier in Top Fuel, he helped redefine what was possible in the sport. His partnership with Budweiser turned the “Bud King” into one of the most iconic brands ever seen on the strip.
With only 3,500 produced, this limited edition piece stands out as a scarcer and more desirable collectible compared to many mass-produced diecasts from the era.
Finished in the unmistakable Bud King red livery, this dragster features detailed sponsor logos, authentic Top Fuel proportions, and the long, aggressive stance that defines the fastest class in NHRA racing.
This example is pre-owned in great condition and includes its original 1997 packaging, making it a standout piece for collectors looking to own a true representation of Bernstein’s Top Fuel legacy.
At Revelry1 Staging Lanes, this isn’t just another diecast—it’s a piece of NHRA history from one of the sport’s most dominant eras.
