I’m changing things up a bit for 2024, as instead of “hobby boxes”, I will be exploring the world of “blaster boxes” for NASCAR trading cards.

Pack 6 of 6: Throwback, Nice Payback, and Jaw/slacked

First Look: Ty Gibbs, groovy? His grandpa was young in the 70’s and there wasn’t much groovy about HIM, unless you include the trips formation he perfected.

To the Back: Always awesome to see drivers doing something charitable with their time and money!

Say What: “Wait, they really shorted you a card on the previous pack? Nice going, Panini.”

Final Rating: 5 cool down laps out of 10
