The Cup Series returns to the track after a two-week break for the Olympics. Denny Hamlin is the favorite in Sunday’s Cook Out 400.
AINSLIE LEE al.com AUBURN —- Auburn wide receiver Sam Jackson V has seen Auburn quarterback Payton Thorne when he is most comfortable — and last year wasn’t it.Jackson, who transferred in from Cal this offseason, watched as Thorne became the career leader in completions, passing yards and touchdowns at Naperville Central High School. As Thorne’s high school teammate, Jackson was on the receiving end of many of those passes.
Auburn tight end Rivaldo Fairweather, who also transferred ahead of last season, can attest to Thorne looking much more comfortable heading into Year 2 on The Plains. “I think the main thing was the receiver room — we didn’t have a lot of juice in the room. Now, we’ve got those guys and you see Payton kind of flourishing. You need guys around you,” Jackson said.
