Spade Racing Opens a 2026 Donruss Hobby Box of Cards—Pack 9 of 16

It’s back to a hobby back for the first official 2026 cards.  Join me as I go through all 16 packs of 8 cards each!


Pack 9: Race Kings, Reunion Things, and Noah Sings!


First Look: Jimmie’s a lot like “The King” Richard Petty—seven championships, accusations of cheating, wasting the last few years of their careers…


To the Back: I’m thinking Christian saw a vision of Kaulig Racing in 2026 and decided to return to MHR.  “Oh no—I dreamt I finished 18th every weekend in a gaudy-looking truck!”


Say What: “And now, here’s a song about being two laps down and convincing people I deserve a better ride”


Final Rating: 5 spoilers out of 10

Foundational Bricks—The 1994 Brickyard 400: 29th, Jeff Purvis

Join me as I take a look back every Monday at the starting lineup for one of the biggest races in NASCAR history, the inaugural Brickyard 400. 


Starting 29th: Jeff Purvis #51 Country Time Lemonade Phoenix Racing Chevy


Finished: 34th


A promotional piece from Country Time in 1994
Career Highlights: Three-time World 100 winner, Three-time All American 400 winner, 1995 Snowball Derby winner, was kind of just “there” in Cup.


Total Brickyard 400 Starts: 2


Best Brickyard 400 Finish: 34th (1994)





1994 Fun Fact: Jeff only made seven starts in 1994, with a best finish of 21st at the spring Atlanta race.  Oh well—still better than being a start-and-park for Hendrick in 1995.

The O’Reilly Series Off Weekend—Top Ten Plans


This is a parody

With the O’Reilly Series off this weekend, here’s what the top ten in points are doing with their free time:


Justin Allgaier—considering retiring, maybe, possibly, hmmm…nah.  But mayb--no.  However…


Jesse Love—selling a shipping container’s worth of Chevy swag on Craigslist.


Corey Day—making sure his racing seat fits in the 48 car jussssst in case.


Sheldon Creed—shopping for even bigger glasses.


Austin Hill—racing in the Cup race.  And by “racing”, I mean crashing.


Brandon Jones—preparing for regular every-other-year switch to another team.


Carson Kvapil—reminding people that he’s not Carson Ware.


Sammy Smith—still waiting on becoming a breakout star so that 1 of 1 card I have will be worth thousands.


Parker Retzlaff—waiting on Sheldon Creed to get even bigger glasses so he can get Sheldon’s older, slightly-less-big glasses.


Sam Mayer—May-ing all over the place.
