Random Wax: 2021 Donruss NASCAR


2021 Donruss NASCAR: Pop and I are headed to the truck race today just outside St. Louis.  Excited to get to enjoy our first race in a few years.  Tomorrow we'll get to see the Cup race.  We'll kick off this pack with Bubba Wallace who had success in the truck series ranking third in 2014.  The races this weekend are at World Wide Technology Raceway, which by chance, are sponsors on Bubba's race suit in this photo.
Donruss has done a really good job with this set the last few years.  Plenty of variety with the base cards and inserts and having a nice mix of retired greats.  Zane Smith is my favorite driver in the truck series and already has three wins this season.  Would be great to see him win another one today.  Also found out he'll be subbing for a driver tomorrow in the Cup race.  Hope he has a good day and can stay out of trouble.
Aero Package is a great looking insert.
My retired greats from this pack include my all-time favorite drive Rusty Wallace on a sweet Retro Series insert.  Can't complain about pulling "The King" Richard Petty either.
Kyle Busch is my favorite current driver.  He's already won a race this year to extend his streak to 18 straight seasons tying the legendary Richard Petty.
Contenders is a favorite of mine and it's fun finding them included here.  I also enjoy the Race Kings inserts.  Great pack of cards.  Donruss is always fun.  Can't wait for the race today.
Ty Gibbs is only 19 and I think a rising star in the sport but he got on the bad side of folks this year after striking another driver while the driver was taking off his helmet.

  2. Have fun at the truck race!

    P.S. Gibbs looks like he could be one of my middle school students.

  3. Zane Smith was a pitcher for the Braves back in the day.
    Petty wins it.

    1. Zane Smith, the pitcher, is one of my favorite all-time players. So when I saw this Zane Smith I jumped right on his bandwagon. A tire issue hurt him in this race but he did well in his Cup debut on Sunday finishing 17th.
