Random Wax: 2021 Donruss NASCAR Blaster


 2021 Donruss NASCAR: After today's race the NASCAR playoff field will be paired down to eight drivers so we kick things off today with some NASCAR.  Hailie Deegan is a big target for collectors.  This year is her first in the truck series.  She is currently 17th in the standings which gives her plenty of room for improvement.  
Plenty of veteran, youngsters, and retired greats in these cards.  Zane Smith is my favorite driver coming up through the lower series.  He's currently sits in 8th in the truck series. 
Aero Package inserts are good looking cards showing off both the driver and their rides.
Love the Race Kings cards.  Included here are Optic and orange parallels.

Plenty of orange parallels.  Seems like we could come up with a better color.  I do like the '88 Retro design cards. 
That Navy Blue parallel is #/199.  My all-time favorite driver, Rusty Wallace, makes an appearance on the NASCAR Classics insert.  Nice seeing them not shying away from the beer sponsors on the cards.
That Ty Dillon is a Retro 1988 relic. 
I enjoy the cars getting their own cards.
Another fun box of cards.  Lots of variety all around help this be a winner.  We'll end it with a favorite brand of mine with fan favorite, and favorite of mine, Clint Bowyer who is now an announcer in the booth.

    1. I like seeing him on new cardboard too. Still pick up some older wax as well which is just as fun.

    1. I like Deegan as well. Really hoping she can see some success this next year. Byron goes in your stack.
