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 3—Taylor Gray, a new Bubba day, and Suarez at play
FIRST LOOK: A nice autograph from Taylor Gray here. While its cool to get a young driver’s autograph on what’s ostensibly his rookie card, shouldn’t he have used a gray marker? Hope you’re taking color-coordinated notes Jeff Green, Ray Black Jr., and Rex White.
TO THE BACK: Yeah, these cards were definitely made right around the Daytona 500. If they hadn’t been they’d have been able to capture Bubba’s amazingly mediocre 2021 season (Irony—this was written before his runner up finish in the 400!).
SAY WHAT: “I’m El Bombastico, the racing monster, who must eat other drivers’ careers to survive!”
RATING: 7 stage points out of 10
