Race Picks Charlotte: 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.

Grok (1 win) sez: My pick: Tyler Reddick has the best shot if his car is anywhere near as fast as it has been most of 2026.

Truck Series (1 win) NC Education Lottery 200 Friday 8pm ET on FS1: KYLE BUSCH—Groundhog Day in May.  UPDATE—KADEN HONEYCUTT due to Kyle Busch being out.

O’Reilly Series (1 win) Carbroil 300 Saturday 5pm ET on CW: ROSS CHASTAIN—too bad the Trackhouse guys are only doing well when they don’t race Trackhouse cars.

Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 6pm on Prime  FAVORITE (1 win): RYAN BLANEY—rebounding from last week’s crash-fest at Dover.  NEXT FAVORITE (2 wins): CHRISTOPHER BELL—Toyota keeps up their fever pace.  DARK HORSE (1 win): an AUSTIN—Cindric or Dillon, take your pick.
