Spade Racing Opens a 2026 Donruss Hobby Box of Cards—Pack 2 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 2: A Nice Car, A New Star, and A Veteran by Far


First Look: Here we see one of the “car” cards, with a horizontal portrait.  I love the red white and black look, even though the black portion looks like it was earmarked for a sponsor who fell through (so, crypto).


To the Back: Nice to see this card from before Hurricane Hocevar won his first race—a bit of a Tropical Storm, if you will.


Say What: “I’m the short guy with the long career!”


Final Rating: 3 messy restarts out of 10

Foundational Bricks—The 1994 Brickyard 400: 23rd, Ken Schrader

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 23rd: Ken Schrader #25 Kodiak Hendrick Motorsports Chevy


Finished: 7th


Schrader in retirement
(well, from the Cup Series)
Career Highlights: Four Cup Series race wins, three-time Daytona 500 pole winner, three Cup Series championship top-five points finishes, that hilarious Little Debbie commercial with the cardboard standup.


Total Brickyard 400 Starts: 14


Best Brickyard 400 Finish: 7th (1994)





1994 Fun Fact: Ken finished a career-best fourth in the final points standings in 1994.  This came despite not winning a race, his team fielding three cars, and being friends with Kenny Wallace.
