PODCAST: Hard Left Turn with Brandon Reed and Pete McCole (11-5-18)

Kevin Harvick silenced all doubters by dominating Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.

This week's Hard Left Turn podcast reviews the action from Sunday's AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway Speedway, including:

-Harvick powered away from the competition to lock himself into the Championship race at Miami in two weeks.

-Martin Truex, Jr. and Kyle Busch came back from problems to save not only their races, but also their shots at making it to the Championship round.

-Ryan Blaney came oh-so-close to being a spoiler with a win on Sunday.

-A mistake by NASCAR led to Jimmie Johnson being penalized prior to Sunday's race.  What can be done should this happen again?

-Four drives now find themselves in a virtual "must win" situation to make it to the title round at Homestead.

-We preview the NASCAR weekend at ISM Raceway (formerly Phoenix).

WDUN will have live MRN Radio coverage of the NASCAR race weekend at ISM Raceway beginning with Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series Trusted To Perform 200 beginning at 3 pm on 102.9 FM and streaming live on AccessWDUN.  Action continues on Sunday with the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Can-Am 500 at 1:30 pm on 102.9 FM and streaming live on AccessWDUN.
