Join us (well, me) as we/I go through a box of 2021 Donruss Nascar Cards, pack-by-pack, week-by-week.
Pack 21—The Dollar Show, Donruss In the Know, and Alfredo
FIRST LOOK: A limited edition autograph card—this one from Truck Series driver Drew Dollar! I really like the reflective gold border, and its hard to hate a Dollar, now isn’t it?
TO THE BACK: Nice to see that the writers at Donruss/Panini have their finger on the pulse of Hays, Texas thanks to their monitoring of The Hays Free Press newspaper.
SAY WHAT: “The second-best driver on my team and now the second-best last name in this pack.”
RATING: 9 pit stalls out of 10
Pack 22—Harrison, Having Fun, and a Canadi-un
FIRST LOOK: You can tell these cards are from The Age of COVID thanks to all the neck gaiters and face masks. Here’s hoping the 2022 cards will be mask-free—and not just because some people are idiots.
TO THE BACK: Of course Ricky Stenhouse Jr. likes racing as many Cup races as possible—he tends to wreck out in the first stage.
SAY WHAT: “Sure I’m the greatest Canadian driver currently running in Nascar. But that’s a little like being the best hockey player in Honolulu” (translated from French)
RATING: 5 pace laps out of 10
