No race fan's bedroom, office or rec room is complete without a clock featuring his or her favorite NASCAR superstar. The NASCAR.COM SuperStore stocks dozens upon dozens of NASCAR-themed clocks from several manufacturers. And they're all just in "time" for the holidays! Here's a look at a few favorites. JEBCO John Cole and the folks at JEBCO pioneered the NASCAR collector clock market back in 1992 with a timepiece commemorating Richard Petty's Farewell Tour. Today the company produces clocks on just about every top NASCAR driver. JEBCO is best known for its series of 11" x 23" wooden clocks adorned with all original artwork and complemented by a lustrous Jebcote finish. Last year, the brand enhanced that concept with the Reflection Collection, a line of similar timepieces featuring mirrored faces. An added degree of functionality was added this season when JEBCO expanded the catalog to include cork board clocks on which messages and other notes could be pinned. A more compact 11" X 14" clock was also added in 2005, as well as other products such as driver-specific "skins" for computer processors. Racing Reflections Virginia-based Racing Reflections has been a major player in the racing collectibles market for more than 15 years. The company manufactures a broad range of merchandise, including several styles of clocks. One of the coolest is a 15" x 22" oval resin clock that features full color images of the driver, car, team logo, car number, and replica signature. Racing Reflections also produces 10" X 12" rectangular resin driver clocks. Wincraft With the largest and most diverse product line in all of NASCAR, it's a given that Wincraft would include some pretty cool clocks in its repertoire. Anchoring the Wincraft line is an ensemble of round plastic clocks, including some that can be personalized with the owner's name. But by far, the brand's most innovative timepiece is a high definition clock molded in the shape of a race car hood. Each 10" x 12" collectible has a high-quality Quartz movement, a sweeping second hand , a 2 year AA alkaline battery and showcases, dynamic full color driver and team graphics with a matted finish. Half Time You'll never be late for race time with the Voice Box alarm clock from Half Time. Drivers featured in this series include Dale Earnhardt, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Gordon. This truly unique clock wakes NASCAR fans to replays of broadcast recordings from the audio archives of some the featured driver's most memorable races. The driver's name, car number, primary sponsor logo, and car are decorated in the team colors and displayed next to the digital numbers on the clock. The Voice Box alarm clock is undoubtedly one of the most innovative NASCAR products to hit the market in the past year. |
