Doug Kalitta Diecast Darrell Gwynn Tribute 1/24
This year at Gatornational’s Doug Kalitta drove the Coors Extra Gold Speciall tribute dragster to commemorate Darrell Gwynn and his winnings. Darrell Gwynn was paralyzed from the chest down in an on-track accident just one month after his 1990 Gatornationals victory. As a tribute to Darrell Gwynn’s second Gainesville victory at the 1990 Gatornationals, Kalitta Motorsports donated a dragster to show Gwynn’s marquee paint scheme during this year’s races. The special dragster is to honor him and his achievements and it also will recognize the Darrell Gwynn Foundation’s ongoing work to provide education about spinal cord injury prevention. In addition to the tribute car, an almost perfect replicated 20th Anniversary Coors Extra Gold Special will show a version of his 1990 Top Fuel dragster which will be displayed on the track midway. He has won 28 national events and also made the quickest run in NHRA history at the time. In his Coors Extra Gold Special, he won the 1989 U.S. Nationals and 1990 Gatornationals. Also in 1990 he set a record of 4.909 seconds at Houston Raceway Park in Texas. Just one month later, his career was ended by the tragic Sunday crash at England’s Santa Pod Raceway. The NHRA Diecast collectable is a limited edition action platinum series and is produced by action performance.
