2025 Donruss: It's Father's Day and we'll kick it off with a NASCAR post for all the dads who like seeing these guys turn left. And I'm one of those guys. Michael Waltrip only had 4 Cup wins in his career, but he was always a great fun driver personality in the sport and he's still active as a NASCAR O'Reilly Series (minor leagues) and NASCAR Truck Series commentator. His best seasons were 1994 and 1995 when he finished 12th in the rankings both seasons, and he's looking great on this Red Xplosion Auto #/49.
I don't like saying it every time, but this is a boring design. Just nothing going on on the fronts that scream NASCAR or fun. Driver car number? A little car design? Tire design? Race track design? Give me anything people! "Hurricane" Hocevar is always fun to watch because you don't know what chaos he might bring to the track. He's only 23 and did get his first win this season and looks to make the playoffs for the first time in his career.
Jesse Love won the 2025 O'Reilly Series Championship (minors). He's shown on a Red and Blue Parallel. Two more young drivers appear on these Rated Rookie cards.
Not a fan of Spellbound but pop is a big fan of Kyle Larson. These inserts allow you to spell out a driver's name if you get all of their Spellbound cards. Larson has won 2 Championships and is the reigning NASCAR champ.
These Race Kings grown on me more and more though maybe a bit more color around the border would help. But still, I like that Donruss brought back the cars. Denny Hamlin is the biggest personality in the sport and for the all the great drivers NASCAR has, there just aren't enough drivers with the big personalities the sport craves.
After winning 10 races in the O'Reilly Series (minors) last season, Connor Zilisch is now a rookie at the Cup level. He's on a Spellbound Carolina Blue Ice Parallel #/199.
More youngsters in the sport. Layne Riggs is one of the top drivers in the Truck Series.
And some all-time greats including three retired greats. We get The King, Richard Petty, Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison both left the sport too soon. Kulwicki won one championship but died shortly afterwards in a plane crash and Allison passed away at the height of his career in a helicopter crash. Petty is the all-time winningest racer with 200 wins to go along with 7 Championships. Joey Logano is no slouch winning 3 Championships of his own.
