Spade Racing Opens Three 2026 Select “Blaster” Boxes—Pack 8 of 18


I’m moving away from Hobby Boxes to three “Blaster” Boxes this time for the 2026 Panini Select cards.  Join me as I go through all 18 packs!


Pack 8: Actor, retractor, and sackted-or


First Look: Is being a Truck Series backmarker a claim to fame?  Yes.  No.  Maybe.  I don’t know—could you repeat the question…


To the Back: Nice job making it sound like returning to DGM Racing isn’t a life sentence to finishing 21st in points.


Say What: “Eh, I’m not running to good, but at least I have a contract for 2027.”


Final Rating: 4 racing grooves out of 10
