Spade Racing

Hero card responses just keep pouring in! If you’re new to hero card collecting, check out my guide at herocardguide.com for step-by-step instructions on how to request hero cards, how to receive them, and how to store them. I sent SASEs (Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes) to every Cup, O’Reilly and Truck team, as well as a few major ARCA operations as well. Who’ll be the first to respond? Who’ll send in the most cards? Whose cards will be brand new? And will any teams send in autographed cards? Join me over the next few months as I find out!

The following card arrived October 24th

Race Picks Talladega: 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.

ChatGPT (7 wins) sez: My pick to win the YellaWood 500 at Talladega this Sunday, October 25, is Ryan Blaney!

Truck Series (3 wins) Love’s RV Stop Friday 4pm ET on FS1: COREY HEIM—Heim Time in the Truck Series.

O’Reilly Series (4 wins) The Progress Group 250 Saturday 3:30pm ET on CW: AUSTIN HILL—going away gift, well, until he returns to the O’Reilly Series in 2029.

Cup Series YellaWood 2pm ET on NBC FAVORITE (2 wins): TYLER REDDICK—bookending the season. NEXT FAVORITE (3 wins): CHRIS BUESCHER—being pushed by Brad Keselowski. DARK HORSE (2 wins): AUSTIN DILLON—RCR needs SOMETHING positive in Cup this year.
