2024 Panini Select NASCAR Racing

2024 Panini Select NASCAR Racing brings Select’s chromium look back to the track after the brand’s 2017 NASCAR appearance. The set is built around three base tiers—Grandstand, Pit Row and Trackside—plus Zebra Prizms making their NASCAR debut. Collectors can focus on color, short-printed inserts, signed cards and relics without needing to chase every lane at once.

Chromium base with clear tiering

The core of this release is the familiar Select structure: one base checklist arranged across multiple tiers with distinct designs and rarity levels. Grandstand, Pit Row and Trackside give the set a layered feel, so the base cards are not just different in scarcity but also in presentation. That makes the rainbow-chasing side of the set more deliberate, since each tier stands on its own rather than acting as a simple parallel of the same image.

For collectors, that tiered setup creates a natural way to build. Some may prefer staying with a single tier for a cleaner run, while others will enjoy mixing the levels together to highlight how Select handles its chromium finish across the NASCAR field. Either approach keeps the focus on design and variation, which is where this release does its best work.

Color, Zebra Prizms and short-print appeal

Color is a major part of the set’s identity, and Zebra Prizms are one of the most notable additions because they are new to NASCAR in this release. That gives the pattern extra collector attention without needing to lean on anything beyond the cards themselves. Alongside the tiered base cards, these patterned parallels should be one of the main targets for anyone who likes a strong visual chase.

For insert collectors, Color Wheel is the short-print name to note. It stands apart from the more straightforward Select staples and adds a tougher chase layer for those who like inserts with a sharper ceiling. The set’s insert mix also includes American Pride, En Fuego, Sensations and Sights of Victory, so there is a good balance between familiar Select-style themes and NASCAR-specific imagery.

Autographs and memorabilia options

The signed cards in this release include Autographed Memorabilia and Trackside Action Signatures. Those two names point to different collecting priorities: one emphasizes autographs paired with memorabilia, while the other keeps the focus on signed action cards. Either way, the autograph side is not an afterthought; it is part of the structure of the release.

Relic collectors have their own lane through Selective Swatches, which is the featured memorabilia insert name called out in the product. That gives the release an additional layer beyond the signatures and helps round out the checklist for collectors who prefer memorabilia-based cards. If you are building a focused PC, it helps to decide early whether you want the memorabilia route, the autograph route, or a blend of both.

How to approach collecting this set

A sensible way to collect 2024 Panini Select NASCAR Racing is to choose a lane before building too widely. Base-tier collectors can target Grandstand, Pit Row or Trackside depending on how much rarity they want in the run. Parallel collectors can treat Zebra Prizms as a headline chase and then decide whether to extend into the rest of the color spectrum. Insert collectors may want to separate the more established Select names from the NASCAR-specific ones so the collection has a clearer theme.

If your interest is centered on signatures or memorabilia, the release supports that without forcing a single path. Trackside Action Signatures, Autographed Memorabilia and Selective Swatches each serve a different kind of collection, and the choice comes down to whether you prefer autographs, relics or cards that combine the two. That flexibility is part of what gives the set its appeal: it can work as a tiered base chase, a color-driven build or a signed-and-relic-focused project.
