NASCAR collectors . . . rejoice. After more than a year with no new licensed trading cards to chase and following months of speculation regarding just what Panini America had planned, the wait is almost over. Next Wednesday, Panini America’s history-making first NASCAR release, 2016 Prizm NASCAR Racing, will speed into hobby shops across North America equipped with one of the most popular technologies in all of collecting.
Bolstered by the company’s fabled Optichrome finish and a rainbow array of Prizm parallels (including a rainbow-themed version appropriately numbered to just 24), 2016 Prizm NASCAR Racing is equipped to make a grand debut just five short days from now.
Earlier today, our friends at NASCAR served to fan the flames just a little by Tweeting the first live image from the product — a Prizm Autograph from Hendrick Motorsports superstar Chase Elliott — to its almost 3 million followers.
Here’s your FIRST look at a @PaniniAmerica Prizm #NASCAR trading card!

Be sure to stay tuned to the NASCAR Twitter feed beginning Monday for exclusive Prizm reveals of cards featuring Danica Patrick, Richard Petty and Brad Kaselowski. In the meantime, however, perhaps the Quality Control Gallery below will get you through the weekend. The following images were captured during the product packout process earlier this week and provide a comprehensive sneak peek of what card-starved NASCAR fans and collectors can expect.
Each hobby box of 2016 Prizm NASCAR Racing (four cards per pack, 20 packs per box) will deliver three autograph or memorabilia cards (at least one autograph guaranteed), three numbered Prizms and a Prizm parallel or insert card in every pack.
Buckle up, enjoy the gallery and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage of 2016 Prizm NASCAR Racing.
