Life-size Dale Earnhardt wax statue: $15,900
Tired of being outdone on your holiday gifts? Here's your chance to really make a splash, assuming you've got $16,000 burning a hole in your pocket. This eBay seller has a life-size Dale Earnhardt wax resin figure for sale that's sure to make house guests question reality. It's actually quite lifelike, and the Intimidator's even sporting a pair of jeans (Wranglers, I assume). There are 10 of these available for some reason, so, really, if you wanted to take out a mortgage-sized loan, you could, in theory, create your own small army of Dale Earnhardt wax figures. Thanks, eBay, for making the holidays brighter.

Steve Jobs Cars custom diecast: $18.18
What do you get for the person who loves the movie Cars, Apple products, and a higher-than-average risk of threatening letters from licensing lawyers? Here's the gift.

Bill Elliott plush: $9.99
If it doesn't come with a pull-string that makes a tiny sound box spit out a tinny, pre-recorded "Awesome!" then count me out.

Slot car track: $3,400
Here's the best way to get your racing fix over the winter -- a massive slot-car track. All you need is a large indoor space, $3,400, and round-trip travel to (gasp) New Jersey.

Ugly NASCAR Christmas sweater: $84.99
I think the term "ugly sweater" can be a little subjective, and here's a perfect example of why. This eBay seller is calling this stock-car-laden sweater "ugly" but I think it's actually pretty darn cool. One person's trash is another's treasure, I guess.

Paul Menard Christmas ornament: $8
This is a vintage Paul Menard Christmas ornament. Its price is $8. It is for sale on eBay.com, an auction website. The item is a no-nonsense gift, like Paul Menard himself.

Farting NASCAR driver artwork: $75
Remember Garbage Pail Kids? Here's a card that never made it to print. An actual, original sketch of Sal Skid Mark, who would have been part of an actual card pack had some art director just had a little bit of taste, is up on eBay. The sketch of the race-car driver caught in the throes of flatulence (and more?) is selling for a reasonable $75.

NASCAR picture frame: $15.99
To be honest, if I received this frame as a gift, I probably wouldn't swap out the placeholder art inside the frame. It's nice and straightforward.

NASCAR lollipops: $15.99
Yeah, I don't know if I'd eat food from eBay. But we're gift shopping here, so it's the recipient's problem, not yours.

Tissue-box cover: $24.95
For most of my life, I wasn't a fan of tissue-box covers. After all, tissue boxes often feature fun art prints -- why hide those with a boring old box? Anyway, at a certain point in my adult life, I came around on my tissue-box-cover stance and decided that they're just OK. Maybe I was swayed by this cover of the NASCAR variety, that was clearly crafted by a race fan who'd finally had enough of whatever abstract art the tissue company decided to slap on the box.

Dale Earnhardt clock: $29.99
It's clear by now I'm a fan of handmade gifts, which is why this custom clock featuring the images of the one and only Dale Earnhardt is so special. In the clock's scene, New York City has been taken over by a 2,000-foot-tall Intimidator, dressed in formalwear, as he searches for his legendary black No. 3 car that's been thrown into the river.

Terry Labonte afghan: $35
You can FINALLY check Terry Labonte afghan off your holiday shopping list. Yes, your freezing-cold loved one sort of hinted at it back in 1996 when the Iceman won his second NASCAR Cup Series championship, but the best gifts are timeless. Like a stitched blanket bearing the likeness of Terry Labonte's No. 5 car.

NASCAR Wreath: $92.99
Wreaths are about the holiday season. Why? Who knows. Well, I'm sure that could be answered with a simple Google search, but that's neither here nor there. What matters now is that you can buy this fine NASCAR wreath that was clearly crafted with care -- not a ribbon out of place! Plus, you won't have to clean up any pine needles.

Rustic Jimmie Johnson flag, $110
This wooden Jimmie Johnson flag is actually pretty sharp. Hopefully the woodworker can find a way to change the name to Alex Bowman for 2021, though.

Jeff Gordon doll: $248
I'll be honest: dolls kind of weird me out. A lot. There's something about their lifeless stare that pierces deep into your soul. Anyway, if dolls are your thing, and NASCAR's your thing, then you'd love this doll who's a Jeff Gordon fan, even if its focused gaze will not break for nary a moment.

“Irritable” sheet metal: $250
If you want to project your end-of-2020 mood to the world in the form of race-used sheet metal hanging from your wall, there's no better way to do that than by purchasing this quarter panel from a Kyle Busch Snickers-sponsored ride. The piece of the car reads "Irritable" in size, like, 2,000-point text.

Quilt: $349.99
What's better than a quilt? A unique handmade quilt containing 122 racers' autographs, that's what. Also, the lead singer of the band Chevelle, because why not?

Sure, you could visit the NASCAR Shop and buy the gift the racing fan in your life specifically asked for, but what if you wanted to go off script a little bit? After all, that's why we have eBay, the internet's greatest garage sale. Here's what a little bit of digging for a holiday gift for the NASCAR fan in your life yields -- and, no we're not talking about $10,000 Jeff Gordon Pop-Tarts.
