Link to Part 5

Hero card responses just keep pouring in!  If you’re new to hero card collecting, check out my guide at herocardguide.com for step-by-step instructions on how to request hero cards, how to receive them, and how to store them.  I sent SASEs (Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes) to every Cup, O’Reilly and Truck team, as well as a few major ARCA operations as well.  Who’ll be the first to respond?  Who’ll send in the most cards?  Whose cards will be brand new?  And will any teams send in autographed cards?  Join me over the next few months as I find out!

The following cards arrived July 7th & July 30th


Four cards from the combined operations of
Garage 66 & MBM Motorsports

Six cards (note the America 250 variants)
from Legacy MC

Race Picks Iowa: 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.


ChatGPT (5 wins) sez: A few reasons I like (Joey) Logano:

Team Penske has already won at Iowa, with Ryan Blaney taking the inaugural race in 2024.  Iowa is a 0.875-mile short track, which tends to reward drivers who excel at tire management and long-run speed.  Several analysts are predicting Logano to continue the momentum he has built during the second half of the season.


Truck Series (2 wins) off


O’Reilly Series (4 wins) HyVee Perks 250 Saturday 5pm ET on CW: JUSTIN ALLGAIER—local winner!


Cup Series Iowa Corn 350 3:30pm ET on USA  FAVORITE (1 win): RYAN BLANEY—heating up like he (almost) always does.  NEXT FAVORITE (2 wins): KYLE LARSON—he DOES have to win at least once this year.  DARK HORSE (1 win): ALEX BOWMAN—the retirement tour starts today.

Spade Racing Opens a 2026 Donruss Hobby Box of Cards—Pack 11 of 16

It’s back to a hobby back for the first official 2026 cards.  Join me as I go through all 16 packs of 8 cards each!


Pack 11: Butterbean, It Would Seem…, and Living the Dream


First Look: Nice autograph from Butterbean here, although I think he didn’t autograph his nickname (not even the quotation marks).


To the Back: It would seem that if the most a card can brag about you is two good finishes at a drafting track, maybe THAT’S why you can’t hold onto a ride.


Say What: “Thanks to this helmet, all the boos sound like cheers!”


Final Rating: 7 “through the field”s out of 10
