Every March, Nitro Designs turns up the competition with one of our favorite traditions — Hero Card Madness.
What started as a fun way to showcase our custom racing hero cards has grown into an annual bracket competition that brings together racers, teams, sponsors, and fans from across the motorsports community.
It’s competitive.
It’s community-driven.
And the bragging rights are real.
What Is Hero Card Madness?
Hero Card Madness is our annual March bracket-style competition featuring custom racing hero cards designed, printed, and shipped by Nitro Designs.
Throughout the month:
- Two hero card designs go head-to-head each day
- The design with the most likes advances
- Drivers rally their fans
- The motorsports community votes
- One champion is crowned
It’s part competition, part fan engagement strategy, and a powerful example of how motorsports marketing can activate a fanbase.
🏆 1st Annual Champion: Trey Mills
The inaugural Hero Card Madness champion was Trey Mills, who claimed the title in our very first bracket competition.
Trey’s custom racing hero card stood out with bold visuals, strong sponsor placement, and clean branding. His fans showed up in full force, pushing him through each round and securing the first-ever Hero Card Madness championship.
His win set the tone for what this competition would become — a true battle of design and fan engagement.
🏆 2nd Annual Champion: Carter Bjork
In the 2nd Annual Hero Card Madness, Carter Bjork rose to the top.
Carter’s hero card design featured sharp graphics, professional layout, and impactful sponsor integration. Round after round, his supporters kept the momentum going, ultimately earning him the championship title.
By year two, Hero Card Madness had grown significantly — proving that professionally designed hero cards are more than just handouts. They’re a core piece of effective motorsports marketing.
