PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - Truex, Jr. tops at track Too Tough To Tame

Martin Truex, Jr. put an old school hurting onto the field in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Throwback race at Darlington Raceway.

Our Hard Left Turn crew has a look at the action from the Goodyear 400, including:

-Truex led all but 45 of the race’s 293 laps en route to his third win of the season and the second of his career at Darlington.

-Kyle Larson gave Truex his only real challenge of the day with 25 laps to go, but came up just short.

-Kyle Busch rebounded from a lap 22 spin while leading to finish in third on the day.

-While there were only four on-track cautions on the day, each one saw cars make hard contact with the inside wall.

-The annual Throwback weekend is a favorite.  What were the best parts for our HLT crew?

Plus we'll preview this weekend's NASCAR action at Dover International Speedway.
