The base set consists of 162 cards, accompanied by a 72-card Marquee Moments insert set. Other thematic inserts include Race Events, Pit Pass, and Indy NXT, providing fans with even more exciting and diverse card options.
To make the collection even more enticing, autographs from 27 different drivers will be available. Fans can collect signatures from their favorite drivers, making these cards highly sought-after items. Additionally, special Blue, Black, and limited edition 1/1 Gold parallels will be included, further enhancing the collectibility of the series.
Mark Miles, President and CEO of Penske Entertainment Corp., expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, recognizing the significant role trading cards play in connecting fans with their favorite athletes.
