More than 90 years ago, the National Automotive Parts Association ("NAPA") was created to meet America’s growing need for an effective auto parts distribution system.

Capps’ NAPA Auto Parts Toyota GR Supra will sport a throwback livery paying tribute to his former team owner, Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme, and the legendary Hot Wheels x NHRA Funny Car.

The Hot Wheels team is so excited to have NHRA Funny Car champion, Ron Capps, pay tribute to the legendary Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme and his iconic Hot Wheels Funny Car at this year’s NHRA U. It uses the same casting as the Snake from 1970 except this time it has Enamel White paint and 'Snake II' stickers. And the fact that this is honoring the ultimate legend, Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme, makes this a perfect match. This is a dream come true both as a kid growing up and now as an NHRA driver,” said Capps, who swept the 2022 U.

The toy sets introduced Prudhomme and McEwen to a mainstream audience, propelling both drivers and drag racing in general to unprecedented heights.

I’m grateful to our partners, especially NAPA, for graciously supporting this idea and allowing us to run a throwback car like this at such a big, historic race,” added Capps, who moved into the Funny Car points lead following his victory from the pole in Brainerd, Minn. The Hot Wheels/NAPA GR Supra will be a modern version of the Hot Wheels Funny Car Prudhomme drove to victory at the 1973 NHRA U. The Snake was released in both enamel white and yellow, with pre applied blue 'Snake II' stickers (even on the yellow release which should have had white 'Snake' stickers). I got a little tear in my eye when Ron approached me about doing this paint scheme,” said Prudhomme, a seven-time U. The Plymouth Barracuda Funny Car casting would go on to be used in 1973 as both the Snake and Mongoose, and in 1974 under the name Top Eliminator.Like with the rest of the Hot Wheels City range, you can connect your Viper Bridge Attack Playset to other sets in the range. As someone who grew up idolizing ‘The Snake’ and ‘The Mongoose,’ it was really exciting to see their life stories played out on the big screen. It blew me away that he was doing that, and to have NAPA on board with the whole project is quite an honor for me.

Ron has a real, legitimate shot at winning the race, and I couldn’t think of a better guy to be teamed up with to run this paint scheme. Prudhomme was already an established name in the sport with five wins in Top Fuel, but his Funny Car win at Indy helped take his career to new levels.

It is based on the Plymouth Barracuda Funny Car driven by Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme in 1970, a car sponsored by Hot Wheels in conjunction with his rival Tom 'The Mongoose' McEwen. He went on to win four straight NHRA Funny Car world championships (1975-78) and 49 combined wins in Top Fuel and Funny Car.
