Trivia[]
- For the Thomasville tribute race, Chip Gearings gets a paint job matched to this racer's design
- Eli was originally called Jimmy Lugwrench as a codename for the die-cast
- Eli is #26, which is also the number of Unnamed White & Gray Nash Ambassador. It is unknown if this is an error or intentional as they would have raced at the same time
