You would get a baseball card from ‘94 Bowman, Finest, Donruss, and Upper Deck or something like that, and then one of those entry forms. The packs were only 50 cents each, so I got a few. There was a big display of them at our local Wal-Mart. If my memory serves me correctly, they also had them in packs of 1995 Upper Deck Minor League. I never filled one out, instead using them to get autographed by players I didn’t have a card of in Spring Training.

His career was winding down when I finally got the chance..the first ever race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. I was really pumped. He was in that all chrome K-Mart monstrosity but I didn't care. My buddy and I had seats above the end of the dogleg just past the start/finish line. The race starts...the green flag flies...and DW whizzes past me! It was awesome...until about 3 seconds later and the big wreck in the very first turn collects Waltrip and a few others. Jeez...I didn't even get to see him turn one single lap. Next view of him is about 45 minutes later. His crew has packed up the pieces and his hauler headed out thru the tunnel. <br /><br />Well that story didn't have much relevance but every time I see a DW card I think about that trip to TMS.

This was UD's first foray into NASCAR. They did a good job overall. Watch out with the foils...they can flake and scratch easily. Moreso than other UD sets of the same time period.
