    Here's what was included in the 2010 Press Pass Premium Racing Break:

    Base Cards:
    The base cards have a very nice design, they are very colorful and I love the fact that the car is behind the driver in the picture.

    The Machine cards are very cool, I love the fact there are 3 different views of the car, Its like viewing the entire car at once!

    The in the clutch cards take a look into the car's. Also the right border of each card have a picture of tires. The close up of the drivers in the car is something very unique!

    The suited up cards are very different yet cool. Each driver seems to look into the horizon in the photos making you wonder what exactally they are looking at.

    The leaders of the pack cards are great. Each card is a picture from Daytona and are unique in that they are pictures taken in the middle of the turn.

    The passing game cards are again very unique. The drivers car is standing out while the other car's in there are blurred out which gives a mysterious yet awesome look.

    The preseason thunder cards show the celebration of drivers winning a race, and its always good to see their excitement.

    The day in the life cards take a look into Brian Vickers life, from the fun of racing go karts, to signing for fans, to being in the brodcast booth, it shows different views of a drivers life.


    We pulled 91/100 for the base set, we were only missing 9 cards which were all short printed, there were also 2 doubles of base cards pulled.


    Inserts

    The HOF cards have a distinct look. Theres the retro look in the middle which is done very nicely. The top and bottom of the card also show a wood type of look as well.

    The allies design features two different drivers together the background of the card is awesome, the dark design brings the photo of the drivers to standout more.

    The rival insert was done extremely well. It really seems as if there is a tense look between both drivers making it all the more real.


    Memorabilia
    The Hot Threads race used firesuit is numbered 36/125. The background behind the card looks to be a fire behind Newman which matches the fact the race used feature is a firesuit.


    Autographs
    The Premium Signatures is a very clean design, we pulled an Autograph of Carl Edwards who has a great signature, this was a sticker Autograph however it was hard to notice it was.

    Final Thoughts on 2010 Press Pass Premium Racing:

    Press Pass did excellent with this product. I had been thinking of buying a box of racing for awhile now, and when I was given the oppurtunity to review this I jumped on it. I was very impressed, the multiple subsets in the base set were all excellent and the designs of all cards in the box were very well done.

    Here's how I would rate this product:
    • Value = 5
    • Innovation = 5
    • Fun and Experience = 5
    • Rebuy Value = 5


    I rate this product an "A+" for Press Pass!

    I would like to thank Kirsten & Press Pass for giving me the chance to review this new product.

      Nice review Dan,

      I really love the Rival cards, it's like you can tell they don't like each other. Ironically Gordon is mad at Johnson right now lol. I also love the "In the Clutch" cards, the design is amazing.

              Nice review Dan. I like the look of the In The Clutch and Allies cards. Sweet pull on the auto.

                  Overall great set of cards. The auto cards looked sharp. The only thing I couldn't figure out is some of the pairing of drivers on the Allies inserts.

                    So true about a couple of the Allies inserts....but Press Pass hit it right on the head with the Gordon/Johnson Rivals insert!

                      My hats off to Press Pass with this release. How did they ever get Gordon and Johnson to pose together for that shot?

                      Very nice review of an outstanding product.

                        A good set of cards. I agree that some of the rivals and allies don't really seem to fit.

                          I'm hoping this was a sarcastic question....

                            These cards look pretty good. Like the Machines, leader of the pack, passing game, Hall of Fame, and auto cards.

                            Those cards have a "wow, cool card" factor for me.

                              Another great set from Press Pass.
                              Not a big fan of the sticker autos.
                              Glad they used different color ink for the SP autos.
                              No parallel sets other than the Fast pass purples. Nice not having to chase 5 different versions of the same card.....base, blue, gold, purple.....
