Random Wax: 2023 Donruss Racing Hobby Box (Part Deux)

2023 Donruss:  The NASCAR season starts in earnest today with the Daytona 500.  With that we'll take a second look at my 2023 Donruss hobby box I first shared last July.  We'll kick off this look back with two-time champion Joey Logano.  I really like the Retro 1990 design which is a favorite of mine.

These boxes have so many great cards so I had to show off more.  I'll even do a third post at some point.  Youngster Parker Chase doing his best Jack Black?

These are three of the Optic cards which are "parallels" of other cards in the set.  Two McDonalds drivers to bookend recently retired Kevin Harvick.

Nice look at cars on these horizontal cards.

Some of the shiny cards.  Great seeing Jeff Gordon back in sets after he wasn't for quite a while.  I do like the Elite Series and Power Squad.

I do like the Race Kings parallel cards more with the color.  Unfortunately that's not what we got with the base Racing Kings design.  Ryan Blaney, the reigning NASCAR champion.

Under the Lights cards are nice.  I dig 'em.

Race Kings in the aforementioned base design.  The Diamond is part of the design due to NASCAR's 75th Anniversary.  A bit bland but I do like the cars being part of the design.

Plenty of fun variety in this set.  Retired greats make up a big part of it.

Another nice card showcasing the cards.

I do like the Unleashed cards.  Kind of goofy and quirky but I like them.  Metal Masters is lots of color as well and I like those.

One of the two Race Day relics in this box.  This one is a Red Parallel #/250.  These Donruss cards really are fun.  Lots of great drivers, past and present, on some different cool designs.  We'll end it here with The King, Richard Petty.
