Spade Racing Opens a 2026 Donruss Hobby Box of Cards—Pack 4 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 4: Toni x2, an Early Season Hotshot, and Phaseolus Lu(naus)

First Look: Twice the Toni Breidinger means twice the fun for creepy guys who leave awkwardly personal messages on her social media posts!

To the Back: Most years there’s someone who jumps out to a big points lead, be it Tyler Reddick, C.Bell, or even that one year with Jeremy Mayfield (really!).

Say What: Queen’s nickname came form his infant resemblance to toughman fighter Eric “Butterbean” Esch, which makes me wonder if any people are named for their resemblance as babies to Todd Bodine.

Final Rating: 4 mid-race side-by-side commercials out of 10

Hero card responses just keep pouring in! 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. I sent SASEs (Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes) to every Cup, O’Reilly and Truck team, as well as a few major ARCA operations as well. Who’ll be the first to respond? Who’ll send in the most cards? Whose cards will be brand new? And will any teams send in autographed cards? Join me over the next few months as I find out!

The following cards arrived from June 1st through June 19th.
