Denny Hamlin made up for last week's second place result at New Hampshire by streatching his fuel mileage to victory lane at Pocono Raceway on Sunday.

On this week's edition of the Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson have a look at the action from the "Tricky Triangle," including:

-Denny Hamlin charged to the lead late, then held onto enough fuel to survive two late race restarts to score his third Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win of the season on Sunday at Pocono.

-Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch all but dominated much of Sunday's race, but some inconvenient caution flags kept them from contending for the win.

-Chase Elliott finished dead last in Sunday race after a cut tire sent him into the wall just on lap 83.  It's been seven races since the Dawsonville, Georgia native has finished  inside the top 14.

-Monday brought news that Jimmie Johnson's crew chief will be replaced going into this Sunday's Cup Series event.

-And we preview this weekend's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race on the road course at Watkins Glen.
