Kevin Harvick has long been known for his prowess at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and Sunday was no different.

On this week's Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson talk about the Atlanta race weekend and more, including:

-Kevin Harvick drove to the lead just past the halfway point of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, and never looked back en route to the win.

-Martin Truex, Jr. and Kyle Busch both put together impressive runs at Atlanta, showing a rebound of sorts for both teams.

-After showing strength over the last few weeks, Hendrick Motorsports - led by Jimmie Johnson in seventh - were never really a factor on Sunday.

-Bubba Wallace scared the NASCAR worlds after becoming lightheaded after getting out of his car.

-NASCAR took the step of addressing the ongoing racial inequality issue prior to Sunday's race.

Plus, we get ready for a mid-week Cup Series outing at Martinsville Speedway.

WDUN will have live MRN Radio coverage of Wednesday night's NASCAR Cup Series Blue Emu 500 from Martinsville Speedway beginning at 6 pm on 102.9 FM, AM 550 and streaming live on AccessWDUN.
