Start off with Pro Set discount card which comes in every Pro Set pack. The discount card used to buy merchandise from their Gazette catalog. You got to enjoyed Pro Set for trying to expand beyond cards. Also on is TNN (now SpikeTV) NASCAR TV coverage of 1992 season.

70 - Ted Musgrave - back of the card has stats of both NASCAR and Busch (now Nationwide) series along with team name, car number, and where they placed in the point standings. Notice they use to race 29 races back then now its bloated to 36 races.

As for Musgrave he drove in 55 car for two years before signing with Jack Roush in 1994 to drive no. 16 car which he won 5 poles but no victories. He would drive Truck series winning 17 races and won the championship in 2005.

17 - Car 33 Rig - even a team hauler gets printed on a card. Harry Gant drove no. 33 Skoal Bandit car which was owned by Leo Jackson. Jackson sold the team to Andy Petrie.

73 - Greg Sacks - journeyman driver has one career victory (1985 Firecracker 400 at Daytona). He also drove one of Days of Thunder film cars.

121 - Steve Loyd - crew chiefs get their own card as well along with stats.

L23 - Jack Smith - one of NASCAR Legends cards. Raced in the series from 1949 to 1964 winning 21 races, 23 poles, and 142 top-10s. Passed away in 2001.

43 - Richard Petty - with 200 wins and 7 championships 1992 was The King final season as a driver.

171 - Jack Pennington - surprised he got a card in the set since he didn't race in any of the series in 1991. In fact he gave NASCAR the middle finger when he lost out 1990 Rookie of Year honor in controversy. Never drove another NASCAR sanctioned race again.

8 - Robert Pressley - while a winner in Busch series he struggled in NASCAR top series. Had tough task replacing Harry Gant in no. 33 car after Gant retired

219 - Keith Almond - engine builder for Bobby Allison. Yes he did get stats on back of his card.
