Spade Racing Opens a 2026 Donruss Hobby Box of Cards—Pack 12 of 16

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 12: W, What to Do, and a Win That’s True

First Look: Is Alex the president of The National Association of W Lovers?

To the Back: OK, all Justin needs to do is regroup in Trucks, get a little more sponsorship support, hope his team miraculously improves, and he’ll be back in Cup ready to win again.

Say What: “Every time I win a race, Denny Hamlin stubs his toe.”

Final Rating: 7 rain delay interviews out of 10

1994 Fun Fact: Bobby’s 1994 crew chief at SABCO Racing was Jeff “Hollywood” Hammond, in between stints with Darrell Waltrip.  In case you’re curious, these stints were the “DW’s really putting together a great team” stint and the “DW Past Champions Provisional” stint.

Hero card responses just keep pouring in!  If you’re new to hero card collecting, check out my guide at herocardguide.com for step-by-step instructions on how to request hero cards, how to receive them, and how to store them.  I sent SASEs (Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes) to every Cup, O’Reilly and Truck team, as well as a few major ARCA operations as well.  Who’ll be the first to respond?  Who’ll send in the most cards?  Whose cards will be brand new?  And will any teams send in autographed cards?  Join me over the next few months as I find out!

The following cards arrived July 7th & July 30th
