2025 Panini Turn Four NASCAR Racing

Panini is introducing a brand-new product line to NASCAR collectors with the debut of 2025 Panini Turn Four Racing. Where most racing releases focus on large checklists and a balance of base cards, inserts, and hits, Turn Four flips the model on its head: every box is small, compact, and loaded with big cards. With two autographs, one memorabilia card, and one additional card per box—all slabbed and encased—this product is about quality over quantity. Add in a brand-new SSP chase insert called Ka-Vroom! and the presence of both today’s Cup stars and tomorrow’s rookies, and Turn Four feels like a fresh, high-end take on NASCAR trading cards.

The official release date is September 26, 2025, with Hobby boxes as the only format announced so far. Each box contains just one pack with four cards, and cases are configured with 10 boxes per case (40 total cards). While that’s a tiny card count compared to traditional NASCAR products, the content in every box is premium. Collectors will pull two encased autographs, one encased memorabilia card, and one additional base, parallel, or insert. The design emphasizes slabbed presentation right out of the box—perfect for collectors who value both protection and display.

Turn Four keeps its base checklist tighter than flagship products like Donruss Racing. It highlights current NASCAR Cup Series stars such as Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, William Byron, and Denny Hamlin, while still reserving space for emerging rookies like Connor Zilisch and Brenden Queen. Collectors will also see throwback legends from NASCAR history, connecting past champions to today’s biggest names.

Even base cards feel premium in this release, as parallels are common. Expect foiled borders, sponsor-color tie-ins, and numbered versions that make the base chase more about rarity than volume. While you won’t be building massive sets here, each card is designed to feel collectible on its own.

The big headline is Ka-Vroom!, a brand-new SSP insert debuting in Turn Four. Clearly inspired by Panini’s Kaboom! line in other sports, these cards showcase drivers in explosive comic-style artwork with flashy colors and high-energy graphics. Ka-Vroom! is expected to be case-hit rare, and given NASCAR’s growing hobby momentum, it’s bound to become one of the most coveted racing inserts.

Beyond Ka-Vroom!, Turn Four includes inserts that tie into NASCAR’s identity:

• Timeless Moments highlights career-defining victories or legendary photo shots.

• Hat Dance Signatures celebrate the victory-lane tradition of post-race hat swaps, pairing autographs with themed design.

• Guarded Graphs carry a strong design element with embedded racing stats.

• Pit Wall Swatches focus on memorabilia inserts featuring unique pit gear, banners, and uniforms.

This is where Turn Four delivers the knockout punch. Every Hobby box includes two encased autographs and one encased memorabilia card—no filler, no fluff.

Autographs cover a spectrum from top stars (Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott) to hot rookies like Connor Zilisch. Sets like Get a Grip Signatures and Hat Dance Signatures add creative design elements while still keeping the driver’s autograph front and center. Legends aren’t forgotten either—expect past Cup champions to appear in Timeless Moments Autographs*.

• Memorabilia comes slabbed and ranges from jumbo swatches of fire suits to pit wall banners, gloves, hats, and even pieces of sheet metal. These aren’t small relics tucked into a card—they’re bold, highly visible memorabilia pieces designed to showcase the grit and gear of NASCAR.

The Ka-Vroom! SSP will be the undisputed chase card, but Turn Four also teases additional rare short prints. Photo variations, sponsor color parallels, and unique one-of-one encased hits will give case breakers a reason to chase deep. Case hits may include jumbo multi-color patches, dual driver autographs, or autograph relic combinations—perfect for collectors chasing that one unforgettable piece.

Turn Four is not a set-builder’s release. It’s aimed squarely at collectors who value quality hits over quantity:

• Autograph and Relic Collectors: Every box guarantees both, with slabbed protection included.

• Rookie Chasers: Early signatures and relics of Zilisch, Queen, and others could become foundational rookie cards.

• Display Collectors: Slabbed cards are ready to showcase in cases or shelves without extra grading or encapsulation.

• Investors: Limited print runs, rookies, and SSPs like Ka-Vroom! offer long-term value potential.

Turn Four feels like a big swing for Panini in NASCAR—smaller boxes, higher ceiling. With premium content guaranteed and NASCAR’s young drivers gaining national attention, this product might become the racing equivalent of high-end basketball or football encased sets. Happy Collecting!
