Race (and Championship) Picks Homestead: 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: I'm going with Christopher Bell in the No. 20 Toyota!


Truck Series (3 wins) Truck Series Championship 200 Friday 7:30pm ET on FS1: KADEN HONEYCUTT—easiest way to clinch is by winning the race.


O’Reilly Series (4 wins) O’Reilly Series Championship 300 Saturday 5pm ET on CW: CARSON KVAPIL—BUT, Justin Allgaier wins the championship.


Cup Series Cup Series Championship 400 3pm ET on NBC  FAVORITE (2 wins): DENNY HAMLIN—but it’s too little, too late.  NEXT FAVORITE (3 wins): KYLE LARSON—your 2026 champion.  DARK HORSE (2 wins): SVG—ah, why the heck not?

Spade Racing Opens Three 2026 Select “Blaster” Boxes—Pack 7 of 18


I’m moving away from Hobby Boxes to three “Blaster” Boxes this time for the 2026 Panini Select cards.  Join me as I go through all 18 packs!


Pack 7: Funk, junk, and bunk


First Look: I’m glad Parker has Funkaway sponsorship—Parker has too much funk for a Nascar driver as it is.


To the Back: Again, sorry about my horrible photography skills.


Say What: “I sure proved that guy who runs Spade Racing wrong when he predicted I wouldn’t make it through my first season.”


Final Rating: 2 cautions during commercials out of 10
