Opening a Sealed Box of 2019 Donruss Racing Cards PACK 2


Recently I got a sealed box of 2019 Donruss Racing Cards—24 packs, 8 cards per pack.  Join me as I go through the entire case, pack-by-pack, to see what awaited me. (Click any picture to enlarge)

PACK 2 OF 24: DJ, Brad K, and Carl’s Gone Away

OVERVIEW: This pack focuses almost exclusively on the now, with the exception of Dale Jarrett’s one-year sojourn in the 28 car (for some reason).  Also, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. gets the “number on the hat because we don’t have a sponsor this weekend” treatment.

SPECIAL SPECIAL: Dale Jr. gets the LEGENDS treatment this time, while the back of the card talks about how rookies drive on guts.  Speaking of which, after going through this entire set, I have a gut feeling that Donruss couldn’t get the license to produce Dale Sr. cards.

IN FOCUS: Joey Logano gets a throwback with the “Action Packed” sub-series, one of many many MANY sub-series, special collections, and parallel cards in this set.  Because when people stop buying your product because its overproduced, just produce more to make up the difference!

SPOTLIGHT: Ross Chastain gets the regular “OPTIC” treatment in a manner that makes it look like he’s a spirit or apparition.  He looks like he’s not even there—much like Ganassi’s DCSolar sponsorship, come to think of it.

SCORE: 5 victory lane hats out of 10
