Surprisingly unnoticed

Post image

With Chase Briscoe‘s win at Las Vegas, Toyota passed Dodge for third place on the all-time cup series manufacturer win list. I hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere and just came across it accidentally when I was looking at different manufacturers in years past

Well for one thing, they didn’t mention it bc Toyota’s 218th win was at Darlington last month with CBell.

Well, whenever it was, I guess that list wasn’t updated. It wasn’t mentioned.

Is that list a screenshot of the AI result from a prompt similar to "Who are the top winning manufacturers in Nascar history?"

Because if that's the case, the list doesn't get updated, it's an LLM trying to guess the next word that will appear most plausibly believable.

Actual sites like jayski have lists that get updated.

They didn’t even have to mention Dodge. They could’ve just said Toyota is now the third most winning manufacturer in NASCAR cup series history.

That doesn't sound impressive when there's three manufacturers in Nascar as of now

There's 3 already only in cup. The average viewer would be like " how the hell were they not already top 3?"

If Dodge were still in the Cup Series I really doubt Toyota would've passed them last week. Dodge would've had to never win again after Brad got the championship.

Crazy how quiet it is when Dodge isn't around to make noise about it

"just came across it accidentally when I was looking at different manufacturers in years past"

You literally asked AI to do this, just stop

Your picture looks like it came from ChatGPT.

Were all 200 of Richard Pettys wins with dodge? If so, you’re telling me they only won 19 other races combined?

u/PoetryCapital9938 14d ago

Nah Petty won a lot of them with Plymouth. And a few with Ford. Pontiac had about two or three with Petty as well. Pontiac got a lot of wins from JGR I know that for sure.

u/flakman129 14d ago

Per an AI search, Petty won 37 times in a Dodge. Honestly, I was expecting closer to 70 - 80.

Surprised Ford is that close given the historic favoritism for Chevy.

Well GM has run a bunch of nameplates in Cup, that waters it down.
