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 12—Bobby, Kasey, Denny, and, uh, “New Age”
A great selection of drivers muddled a bit by some odd choices. What exactly makes Ross Chastain “New Age”—isn’t his whole thing that he’s just an old-school guy? Why choose a picture of Kasey Kahne promoting a long-gone soda flavor? And with the outline on Chase Elliott’s Optic card, is he subsuming into the fourth dimension?
FIRST THING’S FIRST: Bobby Allison’s High Life look is always a classic one. Kind of funny to see him with conflicting sponsors (Miller and Busch) though.
SECOND LOOK: Again, I don’t know what makes a watermelon farmer “New Age”…or Premium for that matter.
TO THE BACK: Let the world know that I, and only I, have the 202nd variant on the red throwback edition of the Donruss 2020 Kasey Kahane card. Oh, and that he finished fourth in one race.
FINAL SCORE: 8 trophies out of 10
