It’s back to a hobby back for the first official 2026 cards. Join me as I go through all 16 packs of 8 cards each!
Pack 1: “Indy” Winner, Independent, and Indirectly Responsible
First Look: Here’s our first look at the 2026 base card design, and we see Austin Cindric looking like he won the Indy 500. Of course this is from his win at Talladega—if it was Indy, there’d be people arguing about 1996 in the background.
To the Back: Alan Kulwicki does have a pretty impressive life story, but this description here is pretty vague. Why don’t they just say “he was a hard charger” or “he wanted to win every race he entered”?
Say What: “Wooooo! Blame me all you want for the Chase, but I still got a championship!”
Final Rating: 5 qualifying laps out of 10
