iRacing Race Recaps, Writing a Paper w/ ChatGPT, Daytona 500 Preview
byD.J. Fluck & Erik Richardson

On this week's episode of F-R Racing's Garage Talk we official

unveil the next step in our ”idiot evolution”, our cartooned versions of ourselves. FOX isn't going to do it anymore on NASCAR broadcasts, but we will!

We start off the show discussing our week of iRacing featuring the first race of the new season of Bottom Split Racing Series at Chicagoland and our P2 and P4 finish. We then move on and discuss our adventure at Talladega on Wednesday Night Dash.

Next we get into our off topic segment and talk about memorizing prepositions in school and how the ”kids today” are getting in trouble for having ChatGPT write papers for them. We wanted to test it out so we had ChatGPT write a paper for us on the history of coffee mugs. How did the report turn out? You'll have to watch.

Finally, we recap qualifying and the Daytona duels coming into this weekend's Daytona 500. Casey Mears snuck his way in with the Garage 66 car and we talk about our predictions for the season with the new playoff/chase format.
