The Hero Card Project 2025 Part 6

 Click here for Part 5

Hero Cards!  They’re collectable, they’re colorful, and they’re free!  I have SASEs (Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes) going out to every Cup, Xfinity and Truck team, as well as a few major ARCA operations as well.  If you’re new to hero card collecting, check out my guide at herocardguide.com for step-by-step instructions on how to request hero cards, how to receive them, and how to store them.

Here’s my third batch of Hero Cards—these arrived on Monday June 30th:

Two autographed cards from Timmy Hill's team

A card from the Wood Brothers

A BOUNTY of cards (some of them signed!) by
ARCA team FastTrack

Spade Racing Opens Six 2017 Donruss Racing Packs: 1 of 6

Here’s my latest haul—a “blaster box” containing six ten packs of 2017 Donruss Racing cards.  So join me as I take a look back about eight years ago with some cost-effective card packs

Pack 1 of 6: JHN, Earnhardt again, and Bobby’s end

First Look: Here’s a look at the basic design of the 2017 cards.  Personally, I like it, although the silver foil script doesn’t show up that well in pictures—just like how JHN’s sponsor logo doesn’t show up well behind those shades on his hat.

To the Back: Ralph Earnhardt had drive.  Dale Earnhardt had drive and talent.  Dale Earnhardt Jr. had talent.  Jeffrey Earnhardt had neither.

Say What: “I followed in my brother’s footsteps to Nascar, then to a Cup Series championship, and finally to obscurity with Go FAS Racing.”

Final Rating: 3 awkward grid walk interviews out of 10
