Year: 1997
Set: Action Packed (Rate)
Card: #77 Ernie Irvan's Car
“ A one-off special paint scheme used only in the exhibition race in Japan. sadly I did not see this race as it was on TBS which I did not get at that time. I saw the final two held in Japan though. These races were a big deal? at the time as they were the first held by NASCAR not in North America since 1988, and the first in Asia. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I used to buy Hot Rod magazine for the souped-up cars, dragsters, and funny cars, but have never been much into stock cars. Nice quality, though. ” -Sportzcommish
“ Wish I could read the back. Might be my eyesight, might be the color combo, might be the scan, or it may just be a combination of all three... but I just can't read the back... ” -Dixxy
“ Action Packed... does that mean this card has a raised feel car? If so, that's pretty cool. Overall not a bad design; clean, crisp, refreshing, (wait, sorry I got distracted) ” -Brimose
“ Take away the hideous banner at the bottom and this would be an excellent looking card. Ernie Irvan was my favorite driver when I watched NASCAR as a kid so I'm really happy to see him pop up on RCOTD. ” -ketchupman36
“ I'm so confused. ” -mkaz80
“ Action Packed. No I am not a fan no matter what sport (if these are like the baseball and football Action Packed sets). I don't mind cards of th.ick cardboard brings back some nostalgia for vintage cards but its the way it is folded that gets me. It is like a sealed cardboard stock envelope. Here is a racing card for fans who like seeing the car only. I'm sure some of the fans who follow drivers are a little ticked Mr. Irvan isn't on the card. ” -captkirk42
“ Terrible in so many ways. ” -carthage44
“ please bring back Action Packed!, never seen that hood design before though, since it says Orient espress i wonder if its from when Nascar raced japan ” -Thunderfoot
“ Not understanding the orient express part of this, I am assuming it is cause I just never really followed NASCAR. Maybe someone can explain it. The card is cool looking though. I actually think it is an awesome looking card. ” -muskie027
