Kyle Busch cruised to his second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win of the season, and the 53rd of his career at Califonia's Auto Club Speedway on Sunday.

That's right.  Fifty-third.  Not 200.   Not even 100, despite what some pundits will try to tell you.  But more on that later.

The Hard Left Turn crew - minus Pete McCole, who couldn't join them - is set to talk about Sunday's Auto Club 400, including:

-Kyle Busch crushed the field at Fontana on Sunday, as we mentioned before.  Do you really think Brandon Reed and Amy Henderson are going to try to tell you 200 wins across three divisions is as big as 200 in the highest tier in the sport?  We didn't think so.

-Team Penske continues to turn in strong, consistent finishes.  Can steady performances lead to three teammates fighting for a title?

-So, let's talk about the new aero package in Cup again.  Did we finally see some silver lining in and around all the grey?

– We preview this weekend's STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

WDUN will carry live MRN radio coverage of all the action from Martinsville this weekend.  On Sunday, it’s the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series STP 500 beginning at 1 o’clock on WDUN 102.9 FM, AM 550 or streaming live on AccessWDUN.
