'83 Wrangler Dale Earnhardt racing set from ERTL

First Off, nothing I say in this post is meant to offend anyone who's a NASCAR enthusiast. It's just not someting I get, that's all.

 

That being said, I've seen this set go for anywhere from $200.00 and up. I ran across it in an old ERTL catalog (that I found while doing an Ebay search for the Fall Guy truck set):

As someone who collects mainly 3-3/4" stuff, the only real appeal for me in this set would be the accessories (that figure is a little too 'Fisher-Price' for my tastes, though), but obviously I won't justify a $200.00+ purchase JUST for those as I'm not a NASCAR fan by any means. Yet, I've seen this set go for around this each time I've seen it up for auction, though I keep hoping to find one 'under the radar' or a loose set with the accessories I want. Is this just a NASCAR thing, or is it a Dale Earnhardt thing specifically (since his demise)?

 

Any ideas/opinions on its appeal?
