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 32—King in the Middle, a Minor Quibble, and Jesse Little
Past, present, and future are all here in this pack, with Richard Petty’s Optic card front and center. We also get two cards of Chase Elliott, each of them looking in a different direction for some reason, and Rusty Wallace looking like a girl just offered him her motel room keys.
FIRST THING’S FIRST: We get a razzle-dazzle Austin Dillon card here, which raises the question—why’d they design it in such a way that the Bass Pro Shops associate sponsor logo is the only one that really pops?
SECOND LOOK: I often wonder if the voluminous amount of associate sponsor patches on Menards-sponsored drivers’ firesuits are in any way uncomfortable.
TO THE BACK: While its nice for Jesse Little to honor his father and grandfather, the “This is something I really, really enjoy” is kind of implied.
FINAL SCORE: 7 caution laps out of 10
