Foundational Bricks—The 1994 Brickyard 400: 18th, Geoff Brabham

Join me as I take a look back every Monday at the starting lineup for one of the biggest races in NASCAR history, the inaugural Brickyard 400. 


Starting 18th: Geoff Brabham #07 K-Mart Kranefuss-Haas Racing Ford


Finished: 38th (DNF—Crash)


Brabham (in the 07) next to
Ernie Irvan at the Brickyard
Career Highlights: 1993 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, 1997 Bathurst 1000 winner, member of the famous Brabham racing family, the less said about Gary the better.


Total Brickyard 400 Starts: 1


Best Brickyard 400 Finish: 38th (1994)





1994 Fun Fact: This race was Geoff’s lone Nascar effort, although not his lone Indy effort in 1994.  He failed to qualify in the 1994 Indy 500, aka The Little Al and Whiny Nigel Show.

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.
