Join us (well, me) as we/I go through a box of super-exclusive 2021 Panini Chronicles Nascar Cards, pack-by-pack, week-by-week.
Pack 2—Berry Double, Gordon Trouble, and King from the Hubble
FIRST LOOK: I wasn’t kidding when I said there was a LOT of Josh Berry in this set. Just out of curiosity is that his actual helmet in the card on the right? Because if so that’s a pretty boring “design”, Josh. Come on, put some flames on there—er, painted on ones, not real ones.
TO THE BACK: Just a reminder that Jeff Gordon had the same sponsor throughout his career—the trouble comes from the fact that DuPont spun off its automotive paints division into Axalta. Spade Racing—where obscure Nascar meets obscure business history!
SAY WHAT: “I’m huge! And my suit is white enough to be seen from space! KNEEL BEFORE ME!”
RATING: 6 Past Champions’ Provisionals out of 10
