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 8—Fords of the Roush Hoards and Untowards
Four Roush drivers in this pack—three of them have pictures from that time as well. Two other Ford drivers too as we get yet another mustachioed Dale Jarrett card. And Rusty—don’t smile at me like that.
FIRST THING’S FIRST: Jimmie Johnson’s Elite. I don’t think anyone would deny that. But the “stacked” Ally logo, with the partial logo to the right, and the tool chest to the left, makes it look like Jimmie Johnson’s Adventures with Max Headroom.
SECOND LOOK: Here we see Ricky Stenhouse Jr., either wondering if his whirlwind relationship with Danica Patrick really happened or was just a dream, or how he’s going to explain how he wrecked THIS time.
TO THE BACK: Here we learn that last year Kurt Busch passed Benny Parsons on the all-time top-ten race finish list. A fun fact inexplicably called an illusion.
FINAL SCORE: 5 water bottles out of 10
