Play set includes a reusable container of Slime to make the experience even more exciting as well as one 1:64 scale Hot Wheels® car. It blew me away that he was doing that, and to have NAPA on board with the whole project is quite an honor for me. It’s going to be incredibly emotional to be on the starting line at Indianapolis Raceway Park with ‘The Snake’ standing behind the car. S. Nationals is the premier event, and with the history of ‘The Snake’ at Indy, it’s only fitting that we’re able to run this car next weekend at ‘The Big Go. Features performance push-around-play with a recognizable nemesis for a gift that kids 5 years old and older love!
It’s exciting to bring together the old-school Hot Wheels fans like myself with the next generation and offer up a tribute car with Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme. The 1:64-scale Hot Wheels die-cast version of Prudhomme’s bright yellow car, as well as partner Tom ‘The Mongoose’ McEwen’s red version, brought drag racing to the living rooms of kids around the world. Ron has been a great friend of the Hot Wheels brand and continues to push boundaries, inspiring the next generation of automotive legends through his perseverance, passion and countless hours of ‘challenge accepted’.A massive cobra oozes green Slime from its fangs in the Hot Wheels® Toxic Snake Strike™ play set while kids launch Hot Wheels® cars through it and try to land on one of two buttons that will destroy it 1 Hot Wheels® car is included. This is a dream come true both as a kid growing up and now as an NHRA driver,” said Capps, who swept the 2022 U. The toy sets introduced Prudhomme and McEwen to a mainstream audience, propelling both drivers and drag racing in general to unprecedented heights.

Like with the rest of the Hot Wheels City range, you can connect your Viper Bridge Attack Playset to other sets in the range. And the fact that this is honoring the ultimate legend, Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme, makes this a perfect match. He became the first driver in drag racing history to win a national event in two Pro categories, adding the U. I’m grateful to our partners, especially NAPA, for graciously supporting this idea and allowing us to run a throwback car like this at such a big, historic race,” added Capps, who moved into the Funny Car points lead following his victory from the pole in Brainerd, Minn. will include Funny Car qualifying sessions on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with eliminations contested on Monday.More than 90 years ago, the National Automotive Parts Association ("NAPA") was created to meet America’s growing need for an effective auto parts distribution system. He went on to win four straight NHRA Funny Car world championships (1975-78) and 49 combined wins in Top Fuel and Funny Car. Prudhomme was already an established name in the sport with five wins in Top Fuel, but his Funny Car win at Indy helped take his career to new levels. I got a little tear in my eye when Ron approached me about doing this paint scheme,” said Prudhomme, a seven-time U. Cars shoot out of the cobra's mouth and ideally land either the cobra's eggs or the meltdown button, both of which topple the foe.
It is based on the Plymouth Barracuda Funny Car driven by Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme in 1970, a car sponsored by Hot Wheels in conjunction with his rival Tom 'The Mongoose' McEwen.
That paint scheme, along with ‘The Snake and The Mongoose’ Hot Wheels set which was originally released in 1970, really made my career.
