Who’ll Win the Cup Championship? Spade Racing Asks Six Insufferable “Fans”



This is a parody

Nascar is quickly speeding towards its annual championship race at Phoenix.  With eight drivers currently eligible to win it all, we asked around to six absolutely insufferable, stereotypical so-called “fans” to see who their picks were.



“Nascar?  Is that still a thing?  Oh, that’s cute.  I don’t like manufactured racing with Billy Bob and Joe Jack and Chasey Racey—I’ll stick with F1 thank you very much.” —Steve Jacobs, insufferable open-wheel fan who prefers series where two passes in a race is considered a barn-burner





“Nascar died with Dale Earnhardt died.  It ain’t been the same since, and you know it.  But with how well he’s run lately I’d have to go with Kyle Larson.” —Brandon McKenzie, doom-and-gloom oldster who has vowed to stop watching Nascar 15 times before




“It’s fixed anyways—you know they’ll find a way to have Bubba Wallace win the championship.” —James Webster, whose constant rants about the world changing has left his grandchildren to screen his calls




“It’s fixed anyways—you know they’ll find a way to have a Toyota win the championship.” —Kevin Diehl, apparently unaware that Toyota is currently third in the manufacturers’ championship standings




“Joey Logano, I guess.  Now, let me spend the next half-hour haranguing you about 1996.” —Reggie Cofield, every single remaining IndyCar fan between the ages of 35-55 (all eight of them!)




“(grimaces, makes annoyed face, rolls eyes, walks away without comment)” —Kyle Busch, two-time Nascar Cup Series champion.

Homestead-Miami: Uncle Max vs. 13th Place



OK, let’s get something out of the way here—Nascar did NOT “fix” it so that Joey Logano could both advance in the playoffs on a technicality AND win at Las Vegas.  Why am I so sure?  I’ll tell ya why:

Because all I’ve heard since I became a Nascar fan is how incompetent Nascar is!

Seriously—you can’t whine about how terrible the sanctioning body is and then turn around and accuse it of these massive, intricate conspiracies.  That’s like saying you got audited because the gub’mint’s out to get you—the same gub’mint you bash for being inefficient and lazy.  Pick your criticism lane and stay in it!


Saturday Early Afternoon TRUCK SERIES (6 wins) BAPTIST HEALTH 200: COREY HEIM—I before E except after C, or when dropping a dime on your pick Corey Heim.


Saturday Late Afternoon XFINITY SERIES (5 wins) CREDIT ONE 300: COLE CUSTER—out to prove he’s not just moving up to Cup next year because of his connections to team ownership (ya hear that Ty Dillon?).


Sunday CUP SERIES STRAIGHT TALK 400: 13th Place (2 win) Picks KYLE BUSCH.  FAVORITE (2 wins): JOEY LOGANO—and no, THIS isn’t a fix either. NEXT FAVORITE: ROSS CHASTAIN—the Trackhouse team really does seem to be on a roll lately.  DARK HORSE: BUBBA WALLACE—no charter?  No problem.

Spade Racing Opens a Box of 2024 Donruss Cards, Pack 11 of 24


PACK 11: Joe Graf, memorabilia math, and The First State’s path


FIRST LOOK: A quick look shows that G Coin is “digital gold”, whatever the hell THAT is.


TO THE BACK: Here’s what the back of a memorabilia card looks like.  And I’m curious how many of those cards they can get from one tire—someone at Panini is responsible for the ROI on a used race tire.


SAY WHAT?: “MBNA means more than just branded credit cards—it means hours upon hours of sponsor meetings in Wilmington and Newark.”


RATING: 8 pit stops out of 10
