2020 Donruss Panini Nascar Cards Unboxing PACK 26 (2.2)



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 26—Tire Track, Throwback, and some Plate Flack
Tire swatch alert!  We get a limited-edition piece of Aric Almirola’s tire here.  There’s also another orange parallel (for Jimmie Johnson), and my hand looking very creepy hovering over Brittney Zamora.

FIRST THING’S FIRST: The tire is part of the “Race Day Relics” collection.  Just a thought, but when the tire isn’t from a particularly memorable race (nor is it even noted what race its from), is it really a “Relic”?

SECOND LOOK: Alex Bowman’s Tim Richmond throwback.  Sure, its not the same sponsor, car number, model of Chevy, or a driver with any connection to him.  Nor is it necessarily a driver Nascar should be honoring.  But at least it looks sweet.

TO THE BACK: When you realize just how many starts Michael Waltrip made at Daytona (eighth-most all-time) it really puts his wins there in perspective, eh?


FINAL SCORE: 8 roof hatches out of 10
