Random Wax: 2023 NASCAR Donruss

2023 Donruss:  NASCAR is back at it tonight in Richmond after taking a hiatus during the Olympics due to network coverage.  Kyle Busch is my favorite driver in the sport.  He's a two-time NASCAR Champion but is struggling this season and sits in 18th place going into tonight.  This Race Kings isn't my favorite design.  Optic parallels are common in this set.
Great photo of legend Jeff Gordon rocking the Dupont classic colors he's so well known for.  Love the retired greats in this set which is a big draw to the set.  Bowyer was a favorite of mine as is two-time Champion Terry Labonte.
1990 Donruss is a favorite design of mine, so this Retro 90 take is fun for me.  Really good photos here even if they are fairly standard.
Pretty good design on Under the Lights but this photo doesn't sell me on the race being at night.
Derek Kraus is in his first season of driving at the Cup level.  The Stenhouse Jr. and Kraus cards are Carolina Blue Parallels.
I'm a fan of the Unleashed inserts.  That Brittney Zamora Race Queen gives you a better look at the design which is based off NASCAR's 75th anniversary.  Elite Series doesn't do a lot for me.
I really like the Revved Up insert with the color and good look at the car.
Here we have The King, Richard Petty representing his famous look.  Fun pack and I'm looking forward to racing tonight.

  1. Not sure if that's an old photo of Petty or not... but if it is pretty recent... he hasn't aged much since the 80's and 90's.

  2. Saw an interview with him and his son Kyle recently with Dale Jr. For 87 years old he's still pretty energetic but I do believe that photo is from some time ago.

  3. Voting for Danica.
    Gordon and Petty are legends.
