The "world's fastest UPS truck" created by the company to advertise its NASCAR sponsorship is now up for auction, starting at $1.

The speedy delivery truck is being auctioned off by Iron Horse Auction Company, which is based in Rockingham North Carolina. The auction house claims it is the world's fastest UPS truck and has 850 horsepower.

The UPS truck is a recognizable icon from the series of "Race the Truck" NASCAR commercials aired in the mid-2000s, which were created to promote the package delivery company's sponsorship of NASCAR, according to Car and Driver.

The commercials include a clip of famed NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett maneuvering the truck down a track against other race cars. The truck won, of course, and the sentimental advertisement ends with a screen that reads, "Thanks, Dale. It's been a good ride." next to the UPS logo.
