Lionel Racing has opened a limited preorder for a $29.99 Kyle Busch Tribute Hauler, a made-to-order NASCAR collectible announced after an Oct. 9 Celebration of Life at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A portion of proceeds will support the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund; shipments are expected to begin April 30, 2027.
Lionel Racing has opened preorders for a limited, made-to-order Kyle Busch Tribute Hauler, a NASCAR collectible announced after an Oct. 9 Celebration of Life at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Priced at $29.99, the hauler will be produced to order, and a portion of its proceeds will support the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund.
The preorder is available at LionelRacing.com through 11:59 p.m. ET Oct. 12, according to The Toy Book’s report, which cites Lionel Brands Group. Lionel Racing says the limited ordering period is the opportunity to secure the item; the company plans to make the hauler to order rather than offer it as an open-ended production run.
The collectible has a die-cast cab, an opening rear trailer door and custom packaging. Each hauler will be sequentially numbered within the production run. The report says shipments are expected to begin April 30, 2027; that is a projected start date, not a confirmed delivery date for every order.
Lionel Racing describes the release as a tribute to Busch’s career, competitive drive and impact on NASCAR. The company’s stated charitable component is that a portion of proceeds will benefit the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund. The source report does not specify the share of proceeds or the total amount expected to be donated.
A Collectible With a Fundraising Link
The announcement combines a time-limited collector release with a contribution to a fund associated with Samantha and Kyle Busch. For NASCAR collectors, the short ordering window, sequential numbering and made-to-order production are the key purchase details: the available quantity will depend on orders placed before the deadline, rather than a stated fixed production number.
The charitable element gives the release a purpose beyond merchandise sales, but the available information does not quantify its likely impact. Lionel Racing has said only that a portion of proceeds will go to the Bundle of Joy Fund. Buyers therefore have a confirmed connection to the fund, but not a disclosed donation rate or projected contribution.

The Tribute Follows Charlotte Memorial
The Toy Book places the preorder announcement after an Oct. 9 Celebration of Life at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Lionel Racing’s product description frames the hauler as a tribute to Busch’s NASCAR career and his place in the sport. The report does not provide further details about the event or quote remarks made there.
Lionel Racing sells NASCAR die-cast and related collectibles. In this release, the company’s made-to-order format connects the production run to the number of timely preorder requests. The stated terms are straightforward: a $29.99 price, sequential numbering, a preorder deadline and an expected shipment start in 2027. The source does not say whether the item could later be offered through other channels.
“The hauler is made to order, and the preorder period is the only opportunity for collectors to secure one.”
— Lionel Racing, as described in The Toy Book report
Donation and Production Details Pending
The source does not give a fixed production quantity, the total number of orders received, or a final production count. Because the hauler is made to order, those figures may depend on purchases during the preorder period. It is also not clear whether Lionel Racing will sell remaining stock or offer another version after the deadline.
The share of proceeds going to the Bundle of Joy Fund has not been disclosed, and no estimated donation total is provided. April 30, 2027, is described as the expected beginning of shipments; the source does not provide an order-by-order delivery schedule or say whether delays are possible.
Preorder Deadline and 2027 Shipments
Customers seeking the hauler must place an order through LionelRacing.com by 11:59 p.m. ET Oct. 12, according to the reported terms. The production quantity can be established after the ordering window closes, although Lionel Racing has not published a specific count or said when one might be announced.
The next listed milestone is the expected start of shipments on April 30, 2027. Further information about the final run size, donation amount and fulfillment schedule would clarify the scale and delivery details of the release.
