Corey also weighs in on Kevin Harvick’s playoff collapse at Martinsville, his preferences for beer, burgers, and music at a grill-out, and casts his vote won who’d win a fight between Batman and Iron Man in The Two-Minute Drill.

We close the interview with a discussion of Corey’s favorite charity, Samaritan’s Feet, and the physical toll of driving a 500-mile race in 140-degree-heat on a driver.

Other Topics Discussed on this Episode

  • The Mandalorian premiere and Season 2 outlook
  • Florida/Georgia and Clemson/Notre Dame CFB predictions
