Spade Racing Offseason Preview

Well, another season is in the books!  Thanks, as always, for reading my writing, as without you I’d just be talking to myself (and I already do more than enough of THAT).  Here’s what you can expect going into 2026:

—a new series, AUTO-Biographies, featuring my reviews of several NASCAR-centric books.

—more cards every single Tuesday.

—once Stars in Unusual Cars ends, my series on the entire starting lineup of the inaugural Brickyard 400 will begin.

—I’m working on finding a new picker for 2026 races—stay tuned.

Enjoy the offseason, enjoy the holidays, and before you know it I’ll be back with my wildly inaccurate seasons previews!

TRUCK SERIES (8 wins) 

XFINITY SERIES (2 wins) 

CUP SERIES Points Leader (1 win)

Favorite (3 wins)

Next Favorite (5 wins)

Spade Racing Opens a 2025 Donruss Hobby Box: Pack 13 of 16

It’s back to new cards, with a “hobby box” of 2025 Donruss racing cards.  There’s sixteen packs, so join me as I go through each of them!

Pack 13 of 16: What’s That with Him, an Acronym, and the Future’s Grim

First Look: What’s that in Michael McDowell’s right side, near the “26/99”?  Kinda looks like a gasket of some sort.

To the Back: NWMT means Nascar Whelen Modified Tour, if you were curious.  And if you don’t live in the Northeast and/or are under the age of 60, you don’t need to be.

Say What: “What’s the worst that could happen if I win a big race?”

Final Rating: 7 pit stalls out of 10
