Spade Racing Opens a 2026 Donruss Hobby Box of Cards—Pack 15 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 15: The Racer’s Edge, Copy Hedge, and Emoji Allege

First Look: It took me FAR too long to get the double meaning of “The Racer’s Edge”, but to be fair, I went to a state school.

To the Back: Ah yes, he wants to entertain! That’s a polite way to say “He’s cool to watch when he spins out from 28th place”.

Say What: “No, I wasn’t the inspiration for the ‘nerd emoji’, and you’re the fourth person to ask me that this week.

Final Rating: 2 overtime laps out of 10

Total Brickyard 400 Starts: 3

Best Brickyard 400 Finish: 21st (1994)

1994 Fun Fact: 1994 was the last year for Bobby’s Hardy Racing ride, as it would essentially become the Bill Elliott co-owned 94 car the following year. Bobby would re-emerge midway through the 1995 season driving the Jasper Motorsports “company car”.
