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 20—Bobby, Mikey, and Jimmie (and two cards from Penske and one from Ganassi)
No idea why Michael Waltrip is looking so pleased with himself here, but its really the only ding against this pretty solid pack. Four champions across five cards and two other solid race winners. It also seems like Bobby Allison is exceeding Mustachioed Dale Jarrett in the Repeat Legends in this Box file.
FIRST THING’S FIRST: Here we see Brad K pointing to himself. Here’s hoping it was to make a point in a very 1910’s kind of way. “I say, old chap, that I could lick any fellow in this garage on the track!”
SECOND LOOK: This is a great time to admire one of my favorite quirks in 2019’s paint schemes—the way the McDonalds logo cuts into the white stripes of the 42 scheme.
TO THE BACK: Two top tens at Daytona are nothing to sneeze at, especially for Jimmie, who seemed destined to smack the wall for far too long.
FINAL SCORE: 7 shifter knobs out of 10
