This exciting collaboration is set to launch on March 1 and promises to offer fans an engaging experience with collectibles, contests, and giveaways.
The INDYCAR Collection by Parkside will be available to fans both at race events and online, as well as in retail stores. Parkside Cards aims to captivate fans through a variety of initiatives. Among the highlights are redemption cards that offer the chance to win signed memorabilia and a contest with a grand prize trip to the legendary Indy 500.
Parkside Cards, known for creating card collections for the US Women’s National Soccer Team and the National Women’s Soccer League, is expanding its horizons with this partnership in the world of motorsport.
