Nascar to CBS? What to Expect

With the recent Skydance media mega-merger putting TNT Sports and CBS Sports under the same corporate umbrella, Nascar has reached out to CBS about airing (or at least simulcasting) some of TNT’s five Cup races going forward.  Here’s what to look out for in a possible return of Nascar to The Tiffany Network:

—30 seconds of highlights of past Nascar on CBS coverage by an AI Ken Squier, followed by the same exact coverage you’d see on TNT.

—Boomer fans stopping their whining for about a minute, followed by them returning to blaming everything wrong in the sport on Bubba Wallace.

—Plenty of locally-placed ads for window replacement, that one independently owned furniture store that’s somehow still in business, and car (well, truck) dealerships.

—Promos for Professional Bull Riding with awkward transitions like “…and you thought the action here at Sonoma was rough!”

—Continuing to treat the in-season tournament like something anyone other than the winning driver cares about.

Spade Racing Opens Three 2026 Select “Blaster” Boxes—Pack 4 of 18


I’m moving away from Hobby Boxes to three “Blaster” Boxes this time for the 2026 Panini Select cards.  Join me as I go through all 18 packs!


Pack 4: Leery, teary, and cheery


First Look: No clue why they chose a picture of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. eyeing the crowd like he just saw someone steal a beer out of his cooler.


To the Back: Looking forward to yet another season with no top-tens outside of drafting tracks is enough to make anyone cry.


Say What: “Every day I wake up thankful that I didn’t get stuck running for a backmarker IndyCar team.


Final Rating: 3 sets of tires out of 10

Race Picks Phoenix: Spade Racing vs. AI

Join me as I test my wits against various AI programs in picking the 2026 Cup races.  Once they’ve made their picks, I’ll make my normal Favorite, Next Favorite, and Dark Horse picks (in addition to my regular O’Reilly & Truck Series picks).  At the end of the year we’ll see who knows more—me, or a soulless machine gobbling up water and electricity.


Claude AI Sonnet 5.5 (7 wins) sez: My pick is Ryan Blaney. He won the 2025 finale at Phoenix, he was the favorite there in March, and his strength on long green-flag runs suits a track where tires wear out.


Truck Series (3 wins) Zero Carbon 150 Friday 7:30pm ET on FS2 & Fox Business: LAYNE RIGGS—ironic that a Bare Knuckle boxing organization sponsors racers who always wear gloves.


O’Reilly Series (4 wins) Timberland Pro 200 Saturday 7:30pm ET on CW: JUSTIN ALLGAIER—time for him to make a championship push.


Cup Series Freeway Insurance 3pm ET on USA  FAVORITE (2 wins): CHASE BRISCOE—I’m sticking with the lost Briscoe brother.  NEXT FAVORITE (3 wins): KYLE LARSON—salting away another championship.  DARK HORSE (2 wins): SVG—a nice little diversion from Trackhouse’s otherwise putrid season.
