Race Picks Texas: 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.

Perplexity Deep Thought AI (1 win) sez: “Recent odds and futures markets suggest a small group of drivers are viewed as strongest overall in 2026, including Tyler Reddick”

Truck Series (1 win) SpeedyCash 250 Friday 8pm ET on FS1: KADEN HONEYCUTT--turning into quite a wait for Dodge, huh?

O’Reilly Series (1 win) Andy’s Frozen Custard Saturday 3:30pm ET on CW: SAM MEYER—“340”?  Why?

Cup Series Wurth 400 Sunday 3:30pm on Fox  FAVORITE (1 win): CHRISTOPHER BELL—Toyota dominance continues unabated.  NEXT FAVORITE: KYLE LARSON—still “the greatest driver in the world”?  DARK HORSE (1 win): JOSH BERRY—a classic team wins at a not-so-classic track.
