The Drive with Josh Graham - Overreaction Monday - 9/9/19

As I drive following up overreactions Monday bully spans revision for eval to be okay. I was in Charlotte for the game, and even though I don't really subscribe to the idea of moral moral victories at all. Yesterday's loss was not a bad result, the Carolinas, the three biggest problem areas going into the year seemed to be improved upon the offense of line.

How many times did you hear Erin Donald's name called yesterday.

I forgot it was there most of the time until I started looking off the ball and just seeing all the ways this line work together to try and neutralize him with tight in play Chris man hurts.

I thought I had a really good game and pass protection. But talking about offense of line in pass protection. It's is not a sexy thing to do on radio. That's why you're seeing most TV talking heads and radio show, spending time talking about cam Newton's inefficiency and cam Newton not throwing the ball so well well I'm glad that's what's being discussed versus cam Newton's health. I thought cam held up pretty well.

Ron Rivera met with media today and said that he thought the cam evaluated the tape. He thought that he held up pretty nicely and cam even said after the game, but it was a relief to go through a full football game and to do so without being concerned of his arm capability to surely be incapable of making the throws down the field intermittently. Remember his last game he could throw a ball further than 15 yards.

That's not what we were dealing with yesterday and that's a huge plus for the Panthers so here's cam Newton commenting on that. That's what I'm most optimistic about happy being able to know necessarily gauge the throws I think that's what you're coming here to my body feels far and you are whatever whatever play because I didn't even think about my shoulder at no particular point.

So I think that's a good sign, but I still stay on top of the offense of line seem to improve cam Newton. The narrative is changed from cam's health to it being okay is this Buchanan is forever overthrown throwing targets and being inaccurate points. That is a legitimate conversation to have that's been conversation with cam when he was right for years prior.

But I'm glad that's what were discussing versus is cam Newton unhealthy can cam it through a complete game because very well could've been the other way. I do think he has a way to go with his feet. Something's going on with that foot that's why you only have one designed Ron the entire game. He scrambled twice the entire ballgame but those are two problem areas from a year ago that with out any pushback I can say seem improved. I don't know you could be the most critical person. There is of the Carolina Panthers, but you cannot deny that the O line and cam Newton looked improved from the end of last year. Then there's the pass rush that something that nuked Carolina season they couldn't get to the quarterback. So they replace Eric Washington with Ron Rivera. They got rid of Brady hope he got rid of the secondary coat and we saw a much improved pass rush and secondary.

There were some untimely penalties. The turnovers on offense.

Her Carolina but the pass rush with Brian Burns was good. Bruce Irvin was hurt can apply Burns. He was active almost in every single drive.

Burns did something and that was his debut. The secondary was excellent. They went deep. The Brandon Cook's of the 1st Dr., Dante Jackson snuff that out and they tried some creative play action with movant movement at the line. Robert would seem to be wide open. Action Jackson there.

Again, the breakup pass James Bradberry had one interception last year he broke on a ball picked up the pass at a key point in the game, you gotta feel pretty good about that. The Panthers they are going to be a playoff team right from the jump.

Somehow it's gonna work with.

How many different parts. There are moving within this offense and defense moving within this organization. It just wasn't gonna happen that way.

New defensive scheme. Many different players within that scheme. Cam Newton easing himself back into competitive football different targets different offense of wine if they played the Rams in October.

I think Carolina wins the game.

I said this on Friday but I thought the narrative would likely be close game. Carolina is probably gonna lose because of lack of execution Rams just could execute a little bit better and make fewer mistakes and surely enough Carolina had untimely turnovers. BJ more careless with the ball. He had a case of the fumbles last year we saw that again yesterday. Unfortunately, he's a second-year player and the lack of awareness not to jump on that fall ball in the first death. Her Carolina is well, but it's it's not that urgent to win.

Week one Carolina one week one last year where they and the Dallas Cowboys.

Most of the Panthers in the opener where they end up look at the season look at the schedule the way it breaks for Carolina you got Tampa on Thursday night. That should be a win for Carolina Panthers were better football team.

The gonna be at home, then you're playing the Cardinals with extended preparation time. The Texans on the road that's tough ballgame. The Jaguars at home with the news that Nick bowls is just been put on IR.

It could be Gordon or Minshew likely playing quarterback for the jags.

Gotta think advantage Carolina Panthers minutes. The Buccaneers again in London. Pretty good slate against her Carolina so pamper fans take a breath. It's just fine. Just because you lose doesn't mean it all back. You could pull positives out of the loss without it being the air quote moral victory. Carolina looked improved and that's what I wanted to see yesterday at Bank of America Stadium and I saw it.

Another thing I really want to say this 3430 that's coming out Antonio Brown had such an interesting off-season, they decided to make it ESPN 30 for 30 we've obtained the trailer for this exclusively here on the show background. By the way can you join us in just a few minutes. North Carolina head football coach after the Tar Heel start to a know they beat Miami over the weekend, but I'm just fixated on this audio trailer we've acquired for the 30 for 30 raters. Off-season. I didn't really get a title for this 30 for 30 I guess we'll find out what it is right now hit the trailer are the only thing older than Antonio Brown is the sole man. This is the worst the patriots of gotten us since the that it was actually Frank Caliendo's voice and video were completely that of course the patriots would want to guide you secretly record that I was really bored running spider to wipe banana with that wearing a Hollywood mustache was the most this off-season that I had read that Mike may man looked like a butterfly. Thanks.

Here is like a big with VM since the production may be made whole really sounds really good but does some really good. I'm excited to see. I feel like Mike manioc is never to lose them like that's going to become his nickname now.

No matter what he does in his life going forward with that no what's his nickname, what is 92.

The trap believe John Gruden already out your saying those things was quick while quick turnaround while the chest cold feet.

Mr. big chest UNC head football coach Matt Brown will join the show next show Joe alright so this is why Josh Graham 609 21 Kenan Stadium, North Carolina selling things out against Miami. But you know how these things go sometimes you see the sellout number and you just begin to wonder okay is that just tickets sold is that with the what the actual attendance is going to be taking these things off and the Tar Heel fans. Gotta give them all the credit in the world they delivered and on top of that when Sam Howe threw the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter all the fans were still in the seats and the man who helped engineer North Carolina two a to a no start is Mack Brown, head coach of the Tar Heels joining us now on sports on triad coach. It was your first home game in Chapel Hill in over two decades. How did expectation meet reality coaching in that stadium again here that would, in the environment. Here we were out one any better game. I got back on third acting like nothing ever so wrong, you will gain when we never got down again. You walked into the press conference after the North Carolina South Carolina opener with see the paper that just had a bunch of scribbling on it. There was no room to write anything on that paper you said this is all the mistakes but I'm going to enjoy this because Sally I made a promise to Sally that I would enjoy even the ugly losses.

How much shorter was that list of mistakes in game two versus game more.

It was a lot longer than we wall it was much shorter than cleaned up a lot of things better football team that we been for the first two games in. I'm glad will come back in the fourth quarter in both games and win again. Sam Howe two starts to fourth quarter go ahead touchdown drives and you know it's an interesting thing when you talk about true freshmen. The last time we spoke, coach, you were telling us that freshmen today are much more prepared coming into college football than they were even 10 years ago, but when did you know Sam Howe possessed what is required to lead a team in the fourth quarter at this level, you never know. That moment you get a game.

But wait, wait. Figure out what we had the quarterback Portman and Sam for the spring game where we were going to have a starter out there so long to work on spring game and going and bring game in college and Brittany looked at me for the named plaintiff who may be good and you've coaxed some very good quarterbacks who have similar skill sets. I think when you look at Sam how he was seen to be the number three dual threat quarterback coming into college football.

According to recruiting sites and all of those things depending on how much stock you put in those but you had to very good. I'd say dual threat quarterback Sukkot McCoy and Vince Young is, is it something where you think the offense that you like makes it easier for a dual threat quarterback to be successful or what have you like and Sam how considering the great quarterbacks you've coached in the past when 313 net oil and they want a little bit may need other people don't have the team follow their own. When the game late whatever they need to do to win the game. When the dark when it came believe that in vain but with a 108 not change wording important and then not really need to come back and know where background want to head coach with this year getting set for Wake Forest Friday night.

It's a short week for your team. It is a nonconference game. We North Carolina and Wake Forest Friday. I know that's confuse some people. But it was scheduled a few years ago and it's a 6 o'clock game as well. Friday at BB&T Field between the two are no digs in your to a no Tar Heels. The number one thing that stands out to you about Wake Forest is what our goal you turn the ball over and I have in the game and usually think when game and Dave done a tremendous job in all of their market is doing what he walked really good running back Mike you people allowed Randall out that way. You really well. Down deep in what were doing.

They got without: work coordinator written on the Sam hell told us after the game that first time he let a game-winning drive was as a freshman in high school when he says he's done a number of times leading up to this season. In the course leading come-from-behind go-ahead TD drives in the fourth quarter is first to start on the other side of things though. Jamie Newman has started six games in his collegiate career and three of them. He's had the lead game-winning drives including road games at NC State and in a bowl game. I should say at Memphis and he told me after the stake that was the first time ever in his life. He had the lead game-winning drive and it came in his first career start. So what you see in the deep starting quarterbacks putting a ton of numbers up.

Jamie Newman the ability and Jamie all so he can run the ball and there is also hard to get down and break in pain almanac with our league and get the ball deep really to get it to the big data, this will happen in the bank around as long as most of the quarterback leaders so they could only come back its North Carolina head coach Mack Brown with this. Let's get to the important stuff. David cut Cliff Duke football coach was at this last week and he had something to say about your season-opening win against South Carolina. This was part of our conversation last week.

Are you will answer the Mack Brown some time, but all your reaction to be a better dancer than maybe a better day maybe I dated whatever David is going to wiggle a little bit on Saturday go to bed but we never got to a point where they were in the middle of the field know me, call me out… The make your head anymore.

I think you you will be after the just said that you would've been divorced again so it leads me to believe after seeing the videotape Sally had something to say about your South Carolina. He did it help when it is okay though, that are not like it, but he would know that you're the absolute best gradually started to an elf will see you in Winston-Salem on Friday night is the best I mean that it is already forfeited the dance competition to David cut so we can crown we can crown cut Cliff right now.

The dance champion among North Carolina football coaches because Mack he already knows the deal.

I didn't see videotape of cut Cliff dancing Saturday. He said if they beat Nortel and AT&T it's customary after the press conference with one of the staffers that work inside the Duke football office that he would be captured dancing so not saying it didn't happen.

Understand, I didn't see it over the weekend, but what a scene that was inside Cayman Stadium.

It is the loudest. I remember being cute not seeking men Stadium and I was at the team next game we North Carolina beat Miami. I want to say 2010 one of Butch Davis as last year's and this topped it. It's good to be exciting stuff inside BB&T Field Saturday I will be there. Of course, continue to follow us on Twitter at sports. I tried to drive brought you apart by a friend Twin Peaks restaurant paintball Boulevard. You can find the perfect place to watch Monday Night Football the night tax and saints also got the Raiders and the Broncos I give you pics for those games, but Austin Dillon already stole my thunder driver in the number three Chevrolet joined us earlier in the show and he said that I've got the picture I got the saints to beat the Texans and I like and upset. I like the Raiders to beat the Denver Broncos everybody talk about Antonio Brown and Navy is not there anymore so the Raiders to come out on top. According to Austin Dillon, but that's those are his pics if you miss that conversation or any of our show. Be sure to subscribe to the best of podcast SoundCloud iTunes Apple podcast Google play that's the place to go for the practice does where did you end up watching North Carolina Miami on Saturday.

You still have the ACC network.

No and I didn't get chance to watch most of the skin because I was working so basically sing highlights and read the recaps and whatnot but then you to sit down and experience this yet and with them playing Friday regular watch that either because I'll be working during high school football so there you have it. The first quarter and change I think was on ESPN news because Florida State was going long went over time with you on Monroe and you will Monroe was thinking about going for two with the BN 4544 they decide to kick the extra point in overtime and the PAT goes awry tough wife redeemed and there is now back to the drive with Josh Graham the most unpopular thing that you can do today I believe is say anything nice about Tonio Brown complement him and complement the New England Patriots for acquiring him because of how polarizing AB is become and how polarizing the patriots of been the last two decades and I'm less interested in talking about AB the person because I think that's been well covered. Even on that show.

We've gotten into his intellect. We've gotten into some of his decisions and I'm less interested in that piece and more interested in what this is going to look like now that he's wearing to New England Patriots uniform. I think him joining the patriots is great for the NFL. I see everybody.

It seems like today sick all this is awful. There might of been meddling. Bill Belichick might've helped coach AB to leave the Raiders in order to sign him. This is going to make New England overwhelming.

This is the way I view you've got the most polarizing player in the sport right now playing for the most polarizing team it's going to be like in WL knowing the patriots there already. The most hated team. Now you got the most hated player. It just fits and as a result we love villains. Why do you think in Star Wars, the most popular figure in that series. One of the most popular series in the history of film, if not the most popular why do you think the most popular figure is Darth Vader because we like villains, we like the dark side of things and then when the patriots they represent just that. That's why the patriots and the cowboys are going to be the biggest drawls in the NFL this year cowboys is because their America statement dancer everywhere for that team. Also they seem to have a very good team. Probably the best roster. They put together since 2007, so it's been about a dozen years but with New England was almost getting boring. The Super Bowl was 13. The three now they don't have chronic and that's what made them fun and interesting. Teletext is going to give no answers to anything Tom Brady never says anything either. So they're just going to win and were just going to have to hate it. It's going to be boring the entire time. Now New England is going to be the favorite to win and they're going to win the when the Super Bowl before AB signed with them now. It's going to be interesting every single step of the way they just became more interesting.

I love watching great players on great teams. This is an unpopular opinion.

I'm sure but I love watching Alabama and Clemson when Clemson was waxing Texas A&M. I enjoyed every bit of that. I get excited watching the best players make great place you might all this is just too overwhelming to dominant for me to enjoy it. I love watching excellence before me Trevor Lawrence rolling out of the pocket completing that pastor Justin Ross and death Valley UConn women's basketball. I was broadcasting East Carolina hoops and I went on the road with the women when they went to Yukon and there were 14,000 people in a snowstorm of record snowstorm in Connecticut inside the XL center where they play Hartford and it was just a marvel to watch, seeing what Gino Auriemma did game today and how he keeps his team sharp even as their up 3540 points at a basketball game. I love watching excellence. The Golden State Warriors, when they had Kevin Durant Miami big three with Lebron Bosch and Wade, even if you might view these teams as villains and this like that they come together that that that amount of talent together in one place. I appreciate the greatness more than anything else and I see this a little bit with the patriots. I don't think it's good to make New England overwhelming.

They already had a great wide receiver and wide receiving core don't think their offense is going to change all that much, but knowing the patriots. I think they become half-point better with a Tonio Brown and I wide receiver. I don't think this changes any of the narratives we had before.

I don't think it changes the New England Patriots there is another scenario which again I think would be positive for the NFL and appease all the people that hated this movement take the patriots AB could torpedo the patriots from within. I mean if he did it to Pittsburgh is the say can't do it with New England. We heard the stories the last few years New England the story with them is not that they just win and they do so without any drama it's that they do so with drama with in their organization that Wickersham puts up a story about Brady being uneasy with Jimmy Gropper will be on the roster and might've had a hand in him being traded Bill Belichick maybe wanting Brady to move on sooner so they could get to the Jimmy Gropper low era, there was the drama with in the patriots but there biggest skill their best attribute is that they were able to put that aside.

When you got on the field, be able to execute and they did and they won the Super Bowl yet again. I'm not sure if AB is going to respect anybody if he doesn't respect Ben Roethlisberger's get to be a Hall of Famer Mike Tomlin. I don't know what to pretend to know what's gonna happen moving forward. I just know this is good for business.

If you're looking at the NFL. This is good to Antonio Brown's on the team because you just added the most polarizing player to the most polarizing team. We don't have to stay up late and watch this Monday Night Football game tonight so thank God for that Broncos and Raiders, staying up the two in the morning unless Antonio Brown's playing in the gay and I love watching great pleasant great team so I don't think this is a bad thing just me.

I totally agree with you in terms of sports sports need big dog someone someone either for everyone to root for Orford. One route to get knocked off there's a reason why the Duke blue double men's basketball team is typically voted the most hated team in America for their games are usually the most highest rated you every single season and that's that goes along the lines of what you're saying and one of the best teams not known medically or Duke.

Every year there. One of the best teams. One of the best teams Duke got except that, come on, North Carolina is to make you, but Duke is also one of the best now that I make or break their lives on that was not the point you're trying to make us understand your your original let's let's get to North Carolina because I want to scratch doesn't tell me you make sure he feels good but thank you. Welcome.

Let's have Matthew McConaughey scratch her tummy. He was in college. Game day Saturday. This was the highlight of my weekend.

I love McConnaughhay's voice is iconic all of his characters seem to be Matthew McConnaughhay like I matter how much acting. That is if you go back and watch basic if you is that Matthew McConnaughhay playing a character or is that just not become the answer to that but I love that movie and I almost love everything he's in. Even the ROM comes I watched how to lose a Guy in 10 days Friday no shame.

I love ROM comes but he rolled onto College Game Day in a Lincoln driving in between fans, one hand on the steering wheel horns up out the window. My guy is a professor now at UT and he was just making bold pics like he was the lone dog three different times and here's the thing, he was right. All three of those times, including North Carolina football the Tar Heels facing Miami. This is Matthew McConnaughhay on college game that couple of things here Mack Brown victory last week for much of this week who idea if the Tar Heels can catch their breath after the victory that like last emotional matters. They caught their breath press reset. I'm going with Tar Heels so is 141 analysis there background facing must dampen them. Manny DS want to play former background assistant every single week police that would be not getting out this week at Wake Forest first road game short week will allow plenty of time to talk about that game but needless to say I'm leaning Wake Forest at the moment. The biggest upset of the day was BYU going into Knoxville and beating Tennessee volunteers.

They are owing to. There's no way that Matthew McConnaughhay could've possibly picked BYU right is, isn't this a mental game. And after all, he almost has a more Circe the season we are reborn all over the lady what are we doing what is happened in the minds there in Tennessee Knoxville this last week you I don't know you know BYU embedding BYU does show up to play now, take the life pretty impressive. He only got to pics wrong. Unfortunately the one everybody remembers with Texas and they lost to LSU, but I'm convinced McConnaughhay knew we had to pick Texas in that circumstance, like no one ever as the guest speaker comes in and pics against the school that the rapine like you're an alum you brought up there because Texas fans love you. You gotta make a business decision there. I I believe that method, I actually thought LSU was going to when he had to pick Texas so you know what would've been a lot cooler if he did pick LSU one of the other more surprising results from the weekend. Maybe the most surprising result in the ACC was that Syracuse not only lost to Maryland but Maryland rolled Syracuse take it from here. Mack got inside and a lot not fighting Scott Van Pelt Maryland I love his voice. I love his pics, Maryland just taking Syracuse behind the woodshed and now Syracuse is to get ready for Clemson this weekend look good luck with that.

That's just so great he could pick games with any top college football expert out there. That's the funny thing about picking games. We don't do a lot of predictions.

We have our pics on Friday. By the way we were to win one again this weekend when it comes to my best bets will do a lot of it, because I feel like so many can do that as well as the ProScan.

Okay, you can bring in Matthew McConnaughhay and he could come and pick a lot better than Lee Corso Parker Street and Desmond Howard do and there are a lot of athletes I feel like that could step up to the plate and do the same thing another one of those people is Austin. Austin Dillon is a massive sports fan when Wake Forest one on Friday night to go to a no Austin Dillon is tweeting about Dave Clawson. He's in his race yesterday.

He's finishing top 15 yesterday in Indianapolis.

But you know and will ask him in just a bit. He's following his Carolina Panthers is from welcome, North Carolina. It just seems like there's motor fuel, motor oil that comes out of his veins. Considering how he was brought up. There is no doubt he was going to be a race but big Carolina Panthers fan. Last year the All-Star race. It's him it's Krista McCaffrey, Darius Wright, Trey Turner, they're all out there having a good time so I want to get his analysis we got to Monday night football games tonight. It's the Raiders and Broncos it's the saints and Texans.

I want to get Austin Dillon's pics is the driver of the number three Chevy and he's going to join us next on the drive.

Let's get started now back to the drive with Josh Graham, Carolina Panthers, and the long ramp yesterday got a lot of sound American Stadium that was happening though Austin Dillon, the driver Chevrolet of Richard Childress racing was is not to get another top team. In addition, Austin is kind enough to spend some time here with us now in the triad. A North Carolina native and I understand as well.

Austin your Carolina Panthers fan to sell. Where were you when did you finally get a chance to catch up on the path of performance and always get my phone at the rate on one day when Don and open it up, opened the really good news and that the plant is W" man, I thought Caligari thought that we lost by three wanted immediately see what happened and how it played like he had a great name and demanding a couple things far away probably be mean that made last year so I felt the lock, and will get it together like Adobe indirect Bank of America Robo 400 is coming up in you weeks in Charlotte were certainly looking forward to that on the 29th later this month, but sticking with football went to become such a Panthers fan because last year I remember you coming out the All-Star race and it's Krista McCaffrey, Trey Turner and others who are joining you and your interests and always been a big fan and when questioned got drafted a couple years back I Artie direct method in ways that dampen management Dracula. Here we get Carolina we need to get getting hang out – or not he dragged me back regarding panic at night got drafted hang out a couple times about the boys know that I'm friends with Darius Wright. We've had a lot of fun time whether a model had been all of God for great fan working general and would like to hang out its Austin Dillon driver, the number three Chevrolet for Richard Childress racing racing but it almost sounds like Driskell Krista McCaffrey was going to be the guy in the Panthers took a number, rate, and we saw what he was capable of doing last season and yesterday against the Rams. We were playing sound of Matthew McConnaughhay talking about football. He was picking all the upsets correctly over the weekend we got the saints and the Texans tonight. The Broncos and the Raiders any pics for these games you can bring for us. Give us some your expertise yeah man think that the top one I like your very that you grant that payment is solid coaching staff there is talk about love what Clemson got a great receiving core like that here picked up that often tackle but I got it right back to like the running games little better than you got the Broncos Raiders while ready for the blood of the week black and gray noted that the Hartman the event the game now on scoring.

I do feel like John Gruden and the Raiders come out on top on this one. No Raiders win over the Broncos you have Austin Dillon's pics is got the saints over the Texans got the Raiders over the Broncos and Monday Night Football, but getting into your background a little bit Austin obviously a major, your your name it's it's NASCAR royalty I want to know the first time you remember being exposed to racing because it's not just Richard Childress, it's your brother and it's pretty much your entire family that's vested in the sport is pretty young age. Note on the track with my dad, my grandfather Jack go kart racing young age when loading four-wheel family met with a lot of memories of what's the most competitive. The Dillon household.when it comes to racing within siblings while meeting every week and another pretty competitive, but what about birthrates long time ago talking my brother wrecked people like Dick and Amanda let out a small rate remember my mom that separated but one upfront one. The back of the way home from the rate the car. Bank of America Robo 400 were chatting with Austin doing your own sports on triad reminder that I don't think it started just $49 for the Bank of America Robo 400 kids 13 and under get in for just 10 bucks with an adult ticket purchase and then on top of that nature.

If you want the most convenient way to buy tickets to go by calling 800 455 fans, or online at www.charlottemotorspeedway.com what do you have a good Richard Childress store you can share with multiple now me think of a good one where little Robbie Gordon used to drive for on the PO that is off-road truck race.

There will man you got the truck out the farm. One time, and he put me in the front feet went like an 80 mile an hour down the road truck truck… But it felt like it. My grandfather drove it back into weapon what we thought he flip a cloud of dirt and I came back yet on two wheels. He came back that when in doubt, they in the GATT and that would save it brought it back that you use went out they began Bank of America mobile 400 in a few weeks. At September 29 Charlotte noticed Austin.

What makes this Robo track so unique, others only one like it on the and use banking. The main track and then got good in field of pilot built originally for the concept, but work and down they did a good job with it turned into an entertaining rate last year. Looking forward to.

Thanks for the time sir. Best of luck leading up to the Bank of America Robo 400 in a few weeks. I bet it's a lot more fun when one the Panthers are winning getting to follow what's happening in your home statement racing in your home state. I bet it's the same feel to it in dollars not dapper in the family at back in the thought to going to be. Thank you so much will chat sometime soon. Austin, you got it.

That is Austin Dillon kind enough to spend some time with us.

It's the Robo 400 and just a few weeks and it really is a big week and when you have the Bojangles qualifying day on Friday. The XFINITY series as well on Saturday and it's it's just a slugfest that's probably the best way to put it with the Robo hundred and nine laps. It's it's a in its what's the unique track. It's not rare where you have others that kind of mirror it. It's just completely unique. What you're going to see here. It's a combination of fast, high banked oval and tight racing then you have a technical road course thrown into the middle of it is well 17 turns to and 1/2 miles are a little bit less. The 2 1/2 miles so it's one of the more fun races to follow right here in the heart of NASCAR in the state of North Carolina. Austin Dillon top 15 finished yesterday, a big Carolina Panthers fan as well. As we just learned and he's got some pics tonight. He likes the saints over the Texans he likes the Raiders over the Broncos if McConnaughhay giving his pics and only missing two out of the ones he gave on college game that services any type of a precursor maybe Austin Dillon knows what he's doing here and he's the guy that we lean on when it comes to giving quality pics for the NFL dry brought you in part by a friend supply guys pizza and more drive to grand slam pizza Buffalo chicken on top of a Texas Pete base bacon on top. Don't know what more you can ask for from a pizza it's our favorite pizza here support the people that support us the Kinnaman Village Commons right off of Louisville Clemmons Road inclement it's pie guys pizza and more online@pieguys.com coming up locker room sound, including cam Newton dunking on me in the post game press conference that's next on the
