Join us (well, me) as we/I go through a box of 2021 Donruss Nascar Cards, pack-by-pack, week-by-week.
Pack 7—D-Doubleyouth, Stretching the Truth, and AA Long in the Tooth
FIRST LOOK: Darrell Waltrip looks so young here, in all his glory at Riversi—wait a minute, look at that newspaper he’s holding. The Los Angeles Tribune went out of business in 1960! Talk about Fake News, DW…
TO THE BACK: Yes, Josh Williams “ran high” in the Homestead doubleheader, but his finishes were 20th and 12th. That’s like bragging about being ahead at halftime in a football game.
SAY WHAT: “Got some gray hair, sure, but it kinda makes me look like Jimmie Johnson.”
RATING: 5 “Boogity”s out of 10
Pack 8—A 90’s Look, By the Book, and Bad Jokes Took
FIRST LOOK: Here we see Ryan Truex with hot tub sponsorship and a “Jazzy” face mask, a tribute to an old soda cup design from the 1990’s thats become something of a vintage meme. I’m guessing that quite a few hot tub salesmen have poured a little “social courage” into their Jazzy cups of “Sprite”.
TO THE BACK: This is about as boilerplate as you can get to describe a driver. I guess its better than “He’s the Next Big Thing three years running”.
SAY WHAT: “OK, so far today I’ve heard ‘Found On Road Dead’, ‘Fix or Repair Daily’, even ‘Forget Out Running Dale’, wonder if anyone will give me the old mechanic line of ‘Funding Our Retirement Daily’?”.
RATING: 5 spoilers out of 10
