Random Wax: 2020 Donruss NASCAR

 2020 Donruss NASCAR: Picked this pack up last March and finally getting around to posting it which seems to be how I do things.  The guys and gals are in Texas this week at the road course so they are turning left and right today.  We'll kick it off with Dale Jr.  One of the most favorite drivers of all-time he also has a great show, also available as podcast, which is a must watch.  It's called Dale Jr. Download and he has plenty of great guests and it does a great job of mixing past greats, current drivers, and others in the sport.
Zane Smith is a favorite of mine.  He's still in the truck series but has already won two races this season including yesterday in Texas.  I never complain about Dale Jr. cards. 
I'm a big Chase Elliott fan so pulling a couple of his cards is always a treat.
I don't think Brittney Zamora is still racing at the top levels of NASCAR but it's always fun to see the ladies represented in cards.  Folks are really rooting for them.  Hailie Deegan is in the truck series right now.  Kurt Busch is definitely a guy I never rooted for early in his career but I really like now.  He won the championship in 2004 and is fifth in points this year at the age of 43.
Lots of speculation about whether or not this is Harvick's last year at age forty-six but dude has been in the top five at seasons end for five straight years.  He was the 2014 champion.  I wonder if anyone told Sam Mayer they were going to use his 7th grade photo for his card.
Martin Truex Jr. is another guy I like.  Bass Pro Shops seems to have been his sponsor forever.  He was the 2017 champ. Donruss NASCAR is always fun.  Plenty of variety to include retired greats, young drivers and different designs.

  1. The 1987 Donruss baseball card design is perfect for NASCAR. Always felt like the light gray part between the two yellow lines looked like a tire tread.
