Dolphins' quarterback Chad Pennington is holding his conference call with members of the Patriots' media corps, and he was asked a couple of questions about his former Marshall teammate, Randy Moss.

Among the questions, Pennington was asked if he was surprised to hear that Moss became part owner of a NASCAR truck team earlier this year.

His answer brought chuckles: "I don't think people realize how 'country' Randy is. Being from southern West Virginia he has a lot of country roots."
