Nascar’s unique in that there’s a pretty cool way to get a (relatively) free souvenir from virtually every team—the hero card. For the uninitiated, Hero Cards are large, well, cards printed on, well, card stock, containing driver, car, and team information. Big and glossy, they work great for autographs, or just to collect.
Now normally I can get a good selection of Hero Cards from team race shops or at the track in the garage. But with the whole pandemic going on, that’s a no-go. So instead I’m mailing out a slew of Self-Addressed-Stamped-Envelopes (SASE’s) to every major and minor race team in the three national touring series.
Who’ll be the first to respond? Who’ll have the best Hero Cards? Who’ll send the most? Will anyone still have outdated 2020 info? And will anyone slip in a few goodies or even an autograph? SEE BELOW!
So here’s what I’ve gotten so far over the past month or so, through June 19th. Some good stuff pictured in order of when they arrived. Bonus points to those who included autographs!
