2023 Donruss: NASCAR is back on the track this week after taking a week off. They'll be at the Talladega Superspeedway. Chase Elliott is on this Race Kings insert and is 5th in the standings going into this race.
This is one of the two main designs for the cards, and I can't say I'm a big fan. Kind of blocky and not that appealing. Some great drivers here including two legends and current driver Denny Hamlin who is 2nd in the standings this season.
Luckily, we do have this great throwback to the 1990 Donruss design of which I'm a huge fan. Jimmie Johnson won 7 championships, tied with Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt for the most. Darell Waltrip is a NASCAR great as well and a great personality in the sport.
Car cards are nice. I like them but always wished they weren't so cookie cutter in their photos.
The 2023 Race Kings design isn't a favorite of mine. It is a nod to NASCAR's 75th anniversary. We have a Red Parallel #/299 and a Carolina Blue parallel.
I like Unleashed and Metal Masters inserts. Bomb Squad is fine and I'm always happy for Kyle Busch or Jeff Gordon pulls.
Really nice Hailie Deegan pull on this Under the Lights Checkerboard Parallel.
These cards are fun. Good drivers, the 1990 Donruss look and lots of variety including Optic cards.
