Random Wax: 2023 Donruss NASCAR with Autograph


 2023 Donruss: We'll kick off this pack with NASCAR three-time Cup Champion Tony Stewart.  Stewart had 49 wins over his career.  He never shied away from saying what he thought and had a temper but was well liked by fans.  NASCAR is in Darlington today.
William Byron is only 26 and finished in the top 10 in standings the last two seasons.  In 2024 he already has three wins and has to be one of the favorites to take home the championship.
Greg Biffle raced until age 52 and was top-10 in the Cup standings five times.  We have a Carolina Blue and Silver Parallel here.
Joey Logano has struggled some this year but he's a two-time champion at the Cup level.
Always enjoy pulling a auto no matter who it is.  Aric Almirola is no longer racing but had three wins and one top-ten in the standings.  This is an Optic Retro 1990 card.
More retro 1990 cards which are the highlights for me.  I'm 1990 Donruss fan and I like the take here for NASCAR.
Bubba Wallace is a favorite of mine.  He's not as consistent as I would like though but made the playoffs last season.  Kevin Harvick ended a Hall of Fame career and is now an announcer. 
Ross Chastain is one of pop's favorite drivers and famous for the Hail Melon.  A must watch as he just floored it in a video game move using the wall to get into the playoffs.  Crazy.
These Race Kings aren't my favorite design.  I like the car appearance but still a little bland.  Always fun seeing retired Great Jeff Gordon on new cardboard.  Felt like a lot going on in this pack which was a good thing.  We end it with current Champion Ryan Blaney on a Carolina Blue Parallel.

  1. Almirola had a decent career. 96 top ten finishes in the Cup Series, including those 3 wins.

    1. I agree. That doesn't happen by accident.

  2. I have to say that my favorite cards are the William Byron ones. I am trying to put together this set. Would you be willing to help me out?
