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 15—The Dream, The Rheem, and a Painful Scream
Its all modern (and mostly young) drivers in this pack. Ryan Preece gets the “New Age” treatment here—remember when he fulfilled his dream by getting a Cup ride, then everyone moved on almost instantly to Matt DiBennedetto? Shoulda held onto an Official Underdog of Nascar tag like Ryan Sieg.
FIRST THING’S FIRST: A great pic of one of my favorite annual paint schemes—the all-Pennzoil look that usually runs at Las Vegas. Much better than the Pennzoil-Shell “Haha We Got You Sunoco” scheme.
SECOND LOOK: Christopher Bell’s Optic card could be worth holding onto since this is essentially his Rookie card. Then again cards these days are barely worth the cardboard their printed on, so yeah.
TO THE BACK: This is being written right after it was revealed that Brett Moffitt broke both his legs in a motocross crash. Thankfully the man from Grimes has a better fate than Frank Grimes.
FINAL SCORE: 6 stage points out of 10
