Maxx produced NASCAR cards back in the day. This pack feature 15 cards.
147 - Robert Pressley - back of card featured commentary of the driver along how many races he ran and finish in the top 10. Pressley was racing in Grand National series during that time. He would move up to main series replacing a retiring Harry Gant but had little success in the car.

Those were good ol' day of Maxx.
I was into NASCAR from the mid-90s through the early 2000s. Used to listen (not watch) the races each week, including the Busch Series. The Ed Berrier was definitely a blast from the past!
ReplyDeleteOne of my two all-time favorite NASCAR sets...I've completed it three times over. Still chasing the promo though. You can get a complete set for about $5 on eBay. It's well worth it!
