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 AI (5 wins) sez: I think Kyle Larson takes the Window World 450.
Truck Series (2 wins) FaithFest 250 Saturday 12:30pm ET on FS1: LAYNE RIGGS—a festival of faith, but I’m still not picking a Ram to win.
O’Reilly Series (4 wins) off
Cup Series Window World 450 7pm ET on TNT FAVORITE (1 win): CHRISTOPHER BELL—and why isn’t this a Saturday night race, for the third straight week? NEXT FAVORITE (2 wins): DENNY HAMLIN—and I don’t know why this is a “450”, but I kinda like it. DARK HORSE (1 win): BUBBA WALLACE—back from the DQ.
