Panini is bringing a new racing-card brand to the track in 2026 with Track Kings. Built around artistic designs and a mix of drivers, cars, autographs, and memorabilia, the debut release offers NASCAR collectors a different style of set to explore.
A 200-card base set with short-print tiers
The base checklist is organized around both drivers and their cars. It includes 50 Base cards and 50 Base Cars cards, plus 100 short prints across four tiers: Base II, Base III, Base Cars II, and Base Cars III. Those short-print cards are marked “II” or “III” on the front, giving collectors another layer to chase as they build the set.
Autographs, memorabilia, and inserts
Track Kings puts plenty of focus on its hits. Panini lists Legacy Portrait Signatures and Heir Apparent among the autograph sets, with race-worn or race-used memorabilia featured in sets such as Art Nouveau and Artistic Endeavors. Collectors can also look for inserts including Blank Slate and Blackout.
The hobby box format is compact: one pack of 10 cards. Each box contains three autographs or memorabilia cards, three inserts or parallels, and one Base II/III or Base Cars II/III card, on average. Panini notes that product details may change.
When is Track Kings expected to release?
The current expected hobby release date is October 9, 2026. As with other trading-card releases, the date may change.
A fresh addition to the NASCAR card lineup
Track Kings stands out by combining driver portraits with car-focused cards, short-print tiers, autographs, and racing memorabilia in a distinct artistic style. For NASCAR collectors, it’s a new product to follow—and a chance to see the sport’s stars, history, and cars presented in a different way.
