2020 Donruss Panini Nascar Cards Unboxing PACK 1



Continuing a tradition of limited esteem, Spade Racing bought, unboxed, and unpacked a sealed box of 2020 Donruss (Panini) Nascar trading cards.  Join us as we go through each eight-card pack to find the good, the bad, and the downright weird.

PACK 1—First Place with Chase and a King of the Race
The first pack is very Chase Elliott-heavy—understandable for the sport’s most-popular driver this side of Quin Houff.  Also included in this pic is one of the occasionally-inserted contest cards, with codes that can be entered to win prizes.  Last year I won a t-shirt, this year I have yet to win anything, but fingers crossed!  No, wait, that makes it too hard to type.

FIRST THING’S FIRST: Martin Truex Jr. gets the “fancy oil painting” treatment as part of the “Race Kings” series.  Its quite an honor for Truex, as most New Jerseyans only get their portraits done when the police are looking for them.

SECOND LOOK: Brad Keselowski’s awesome throwback looks, well, awesome in this limited-edition variant card.  Only downside is that there are many, many, MANY variants, limned-editions, parallels, and extra series.  Too much of a good thing, much like the Nascar schedule for the past 15 years.

TO THE BACK: Danica apparently didn’t care about green being an unlucky color in Nascar.  Then again she didn’t seem to care about succeeding in Nascar either.


FINAL SCORE: 5 Most Popular Driver Awards out of 10.
