Spade Racing presents The Hero Card Project 2024 Part 9


 

CLICK HERE FOR PART 8

On March 15th, I mailed out to every major, mid-major, and minor Nascar team in the three touring series for Hero Cards, the free glossy card-stock giveaways provided by race teams.  Last week I posted my first responses, but I got so many this past week I wanted to post what else I’ve received!  See what came in below, and click here to learn more about collecting Hero Cards

Spade Racing Opens a Box of 2024 Donruss Cards, Pack 13 of 24


PACK 13: Production Line, aging like wine, and a slimming line


FIRST LOOK: The Production Line—not to be confused with the hockey crew, or an actual line of workers who produce something.  And thanks to that lower quarter panel logo, I have that one Smirnoff Ice commercial that aired on PTI stuck in my head.


TO THE BACK: Ah, Mikey—going from a joke on the track to a joke in the booth.


SAY WHAT?: “These lines around the Napa logo give me a slimming look!”


RATING: 6 roof flaps out of 10

NASCAR ROTY RANKINGS 2015: Ranking the Rookie of the Year Classes Through the Years




Join me as we take a look at every NASCAR Cup Rookie of the Year class from 1972 (the start of the modern era) through 2021, going from the worst to the first in terms of overall careers of each year’s rookie class.

2015

Brett Moffitt

Winner: Brett Moffitt (Front Row/MWR).  Runners Up: Matt DiBenedetto (BK), Jeb Burton (BK), Alex Kennedy.  Aborted Attempts: Tanner Berryhill

How their careers turned out: Brett Moffitt has gone on to a decent career in Nascar, albeit mostly in the Truck Series.  Matt DiBenedetto came close to breaking through with a Cup win, but fell short and now seems to just whine all the time.  Jeb Burton has spent most of his career in mid-pack equipment, while Alex Kennedy seems to have vanished from Nascar after 2016.

“Fun” “Fact” about the winner: Brett Moffitt is single-handedly trying to bring the mustache back to Nascar.  “Sometimes hopeless causes are the only ones worth fighting for.”

Ranking: #44 out of 50
