In anticipation of the 2022 Daytona 500, Candy Digital is launching its 23 Candy Racing NFTs featuring 23 stellar drivers from 10 NASCAR teams. To be more precise, NFTs within the collection will represent the cars of these world-famous drivers. Each NFT will be a dynamic animation of a deconstructed team car dressed in its specific Daytona paint scheme. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Ford Mustang GT, and Toyota Camry TRD are among the next-gen models.
The dynamic digital tokens aka “digi-casts" created in partnership with Race Team Alliance will feature the most prominent NASCAR Cup Series teams and drivers, including:
The NFTs will be available for purchase at $500 on February 15, five days before the Daytona 500, between 9 am EST and 5:20 pm EST. When this time expires, the full drop’s cost will increase to $1,000. Alongside, “Open Edition” NFTs for each of the 23 drivers will be available for $50 each through 2 pm on the day of the Great American Race.
When the Daytona 500 top 3 finishers' names become known, the collectors holding their personalized NFTs will receive an additional unique NFT honoring the champion.
“Candy Racing” marks our entry into the high-energy world of motorsports, and we’re thrilled to offer racing fans a new way to engage with the teams and drivers they love ahead of one of the most prestigious races of the year,” said Candy Digital CEO Scott Lawin. “We’re grateful to partner with the Race Team Alliance and their respective teams as we continue to create new digital experiences for both fans and collectors.”
Founded in 2021 by Fanatics’ Michael Rubin, Galaxy Digital’s Mike Novogratz, and Gary Vaynerchuk, Candy Digital is a platform and marketplace for NFTs covering major sports events and figures. Now, it's high time for auto racing to join the top-ranking sports community.
