PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - Kyle Busch takes second Cup Title

Kyle Busch may not have entered Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season finale as the championship favorite, but he went home with the champion's hardware at the end of the night.

On this week's edition of the Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson review the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, including:

-Kyle Busch was untouchable over the final segment of Sunday's Cup Series race, scoring the win and the championship.

-Martin Truex, Jr. and Denny Hamlin suffered setbacks while Kevin Harvick never quite got up to speed as they fell short in their title bids.

-Tyler Reddick became the first driver to win back-to-back NASCAR Xfinity Series titles on Saturday with two different teams.

-Matt Crafton became the first NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series to win the title while not winning a race on the season.

-Daniel Suarez is out at Stewart-Haas Racing, as Cole Custer will move up to the Cup Series next year.
