It took an extra day, but Martin Truex, Jr. scored a strong win in Monday's rain delayed Monster NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway.

Rain also delayed this week's Hard Left Turn podcast, but Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson are ready to discuss the news from the Monster Mile, including:

-Truex, Jr. led 132 laps en route to the win in Monday's Gander RV 400, cementing him as a contender for this year's championship.

-Chase Elliott led the most laps, but had to settle for a top five at the end of the day.

-Kyle Busch had much criticism for the aero package after Dover, including a few words we can't repeat on a family friendly program.

-A week after a wild ride at Talladega, Kyle Larson rebounded with his first top five finish of the season.

-The crew also takes a moment to look ahead to this weekend at Kansas.

WDUN will have live MRN Radio coverage of Saturday night’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Digital Ally 400 from Kansas Speedway beginning at 6:30 PM on 102.9 FM, AM 500 and streaming live on AccessWDUN.
