Spade Racing Opens a Box of 2022 Donruss Nascar Cards, Pack 6 of 24



Join us (well, me) as we/I go through a box of 2022 Donruss Nascar Cards.  New teams, new drivers, new subsets, and of course some corny commentary by me.


Pack 6—An Old “Rookie”, a Tough Cookie, and a Bad Look-y


FIRST LOOK:
On what planet is a late-30s B.J. McLeod considered a “Rated Rookie”?


TO THE BACK:
Here we see another reference to Chase Elliott’s road course exploits.  Dude loved by old-timers knows how to win on tracks that old-timers think are ruining the sport.


SAY WHAT:
“My belt has my name on it.  Huh, kinda odd now that I think about it.”


RATING: 8 Elliott family members out of 10

SPAD3 RACING TESTING MYSTERIOUS NEW FUEL


Special Protective Advance Defense Department Detachment (SPAD3) Racing has turned some heads in the NASCAR world this year as the series’ newest team.  Today it was because of an announcement of a mysterious new racing fuel the team has been developing all year.

First test of the new fuel

“This new fuel is far more efficient than your standard fossil-based racing fuel” said team engineer Bart Williams.  “Race cars can get up to 12 miles a gallon on this stuff—and it has relatively few side-effects.”

“Look, everybody hates the smell of gasoline, right?”, said team public relations director Stacey Fox.  “Well, this fuel isn’t just clean-burning—its clean-SMELLING too.  You’ll barely even notice its there as you become docile and compliant.”

The team’s secretive yet robust research-and-development program has been working on several projects, most of which have yet to be revealed in full to the general public.

“We’re hoping to submit this racing fuel concept to NASCAR for approval by the end of the calendar year”, Williams said.  “Once they see this in action they’ll have no choice but to agree to it, as well as some other things we’re working on, like our weather-disruption device—no more rain delays!”

As to the contents, source, and methodology behind the fuel itself, that remains a closely-guarded trade secret.

“I’m not at liberty to discuss the source of this amazing new technology”, Fox said.  “But I’m sure that once the racing public catches wind of its benefits, nobody will care where it came from.”

Nascar on NBC/USA—What to Look For



Today sees Nascar Cup & Xfinity coverage switch from Fox to NBC & USA for the rest of the season.  Here’s a few things to watch out for:


—Cable coverage switches from the now-defunct NBCSN to USA, aka That Channel You Used to Watch Wrestling On.  Nascar is expected to benefit from regular lead-ins of Law & Order reruns.


—Yeah, most of the races will be on cable, but really, who cares?  If the races were on NBC you’d just complain about super-short post-races anyways.


—We’re looking at the same four regulars in the booth this year, with Rick Allen on play-by-play, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Burton as driver analysts, and Steve LeTarte questioning everyone’s pit strategy.


—Kim Coon joins the pit reporter roster, so be prepared for lots of creepy online comments from old guys.


—Pre- and post-race coverage will feature the usual mix of an ex-NBA player, a former logistics provider pitchman, a philanthropist with a ponytail, and Marty Snider.


—Supplemental coverage will be on Peacock, but don’t worry—if you have Xfinity, you have Peacock at no extra charge.  You’re also probably currently waiting for a service tech to show up.
