2020 Donruss Panini Nascar Cards Unboxing PACK 27 (2.3)



After unboxing and unwrapping a box of 2020 Donruss (Panini) Nascar trading cards, I decided to keep going.  Now we dive into two “Blaster Boxes”—small boxes of 7 packs each.  Join us as we go through each eight-card pack to find the good, the bad, and the downright weird.

PACK 27—A Midpack Bash, Waltrip Flash, and Mark Martins Clash
After the three cards for two Hall of Famers there’s a pretty steep drop-off to the middle of the pack.  Speaking of the stars here, we get the two faces of Mark Martin—happily smiling and mournful that he’s getting stuck driving that ugly AAA car next year.  Erik Jones, on the other hand, looks exactly the same, honoring the same stoic personality of former DeWalt driver Matt Kenseth.

FIRST THING’S FIRST: Here’s yet ANOTHER parallel—some cards have this extra-special “dazzle” background on them.  They look cool, but we’re looking at upwards of 500 possible cards (not including memorobilia and autograph inserts) for a set that should probably have less than half that, tops.

SECOND LOOK: From the looks of his firesuit Jeb Burton is wondering where he left his iron.

TO THE BACK: Ross Chastain’s Xfinity Series success gets a closer look here—a fortuitous decision since he drives there full-time this year.  Nice job avoiding talking about all the Kaulig Racing disqualifications, too!


FINAL SCORE: 3 pit passes out of 10
