Race Picks Kansas: 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.

AI (1 win) Claude (Sonnet 4.6) sez: “As for predicting a winner, I can't say with certainty, but here are some things to keep in mind heading into Kansas:

Kansas Speedway is a 1.5-mile intermediate track, a style that tends to favor teams with strong aero packages and pit strategy.

Historically, drivers like Kyle Larson…have been strong at intermediate tracks in recent seasons.”

Truck Series (1 win) off

O’Reilly Series (1 win) Kansas Lottery 300 Saturday 7pm ET on CW: BRANDON JONES—benefitting Kansans everyday!

Cup Series AdventHealth 400 Sunday 2pm on Fox  FAVORITE (1 win): DENNY HAMLIN—MJ, I don’t think we’re in Kansas any—oh, wait, we are.  NEXT FAVORITE: WILLIAM BYRON—for Chevy its looking like it’ll be HMS and then the rest.  DARK HORSE (1 win): CHASE BRISCOE—fuel milage, perhaps.
