2020 Donruss Panini Nascar Cards Unboxing PACK 33 (2.9)



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 29—A-Bow and JoLo’s Aero
Mostly modern drivers here, with all eight having had some Cup racing experience.  We also get both sides of the “unmoored young driver” coin here—Alex Bowman, who found his way to a top-level Cup ride, and Ryan Truex, who’s raced mostly in near-obscurity.

FIRST THING’S FIRST: Hey, remember when people were mad at Aric Almirola for “stealing” Smithfield from Richard Petty?  Yeah, that was a rough couple of weeks.

SECOND LOOK: The light-colored car on the black-and-neon background really showed off the sleekness of a modern Cup car.  This is also how most Penske cars looked on the front stretch before Nascar outlawed “crab-walking” set-ups.

TO THE BACK: A nice reminder that Matt Kenseth went out on top, winning his penultimate race with Joe Gibbs Racing.  Then he came back and ran mid-pack for Roush.


FINAL SCORE: 6 victory donuts out of 10
