What's Buzz-worthy: A new NASCAR season starts next month -- they ultimately never stop these days -- and that got me looking back to a dirt-cheap go-to from the past for racing to rip here. This A box delivered a pair of hits in my final pack (not the norm) and it included a dual-auto, dual-mem card in the box. (Note: I have pulled dual-auto, dual-mem cards in blasters ... so those packs are worth a rip in volume.) The hobby presentation in this one is cool -- four mini boxes inside that don't match, giving it a colorful NASCAR feel -- and the potential found inside them is, too. If you land a top-tier box, it's a fun rip. This is an A+ box with an extra hit and three autos inside that can still be topped.
