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 4 OF 24: Bowman, Joe-man, and a Slow Man
OVERVIEW: This pack is strangely rife with Joey Logano cards, although again, even with three of them, no duplicates. Alex Bowman perfects the “I am posing for a trading card” pose, while Kyle Busch does his best fake smile.
SPECIAL SPECIAL: Justin Allgaier gets a double here, with an OPTIC throwback card. We also see the biggest design flaw on the back of the cards, as the bottom half is pretty much just wasted white space. C’mon, Donruss, give us some random trivia or mention how he designs his own cars for the seventy-fourth time.
IN FOCUS: Reading that Joey Logano and his wife once dressed as a hot dog and bun for Halloween is interesting. Using a cartoon of Frankenstein to illustrate that point is just plain weird, unless they’re using it to prove a point on how most hot dogs are made of random parts/ingredients.
SPOTLIGHT: Last year it was Kerry Earnhardt—this year its Wally Dallenbach. Who the heck considers a guy without a single win like Wally to be a “LEGEND”? I’m guessing even Wally himself would be surprised by this.
SCORE: 2 lug nuts out of 10
