PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - Larson races to All-Star victory

With a push from Kevin Harvick, Kyle Larson surged from sixth to the lead on the final restart in Saturday night's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series All-Star race, and went on to score his first all-star victory.

On this week's Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson review the All-Star shootout, including:

-Larson raced his way to the All-Star race with a segment win in the Monster Open, and became the fourth driver in history to race from the Open to the  All-Star win.

-Kyle Busch wasn't happy with the aero-package over the weekend.  Clint Bowyer wasn't happy with Ryan Newman, and let his fists do the talking after the race.

-NASCAR again used the All-Star race as an aerodynamic guinea pig.  How did that work out?

-One week after an emotional talk to the media, Darrell Wallace, Jr. gets a shot in the arm by finishing fifth in the All-Star race after racing his way in through the Monster Open.

-Plus, we preview this weekend's Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
