While it looked like his teammate, Kyle Larson, was going to drive away to the NASCAR Cup Series win on Sunday, it was Alex Bowman who came home with the trophy from the "Monster Mile."

Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at Sunday's action from Dover International Speedway, including:

-A super fast pit stop by Bowman's crew put him out front for the final 100 lap of Sunday's race, as he drove to his second win of the season.

-Meanwhile, after leading 263 of the race's 400 laps, Larson was again unable to close the deal and had to settle for second.

-Hendrick Motorsports swept the top four finishers, becoming the third team in NASCAR history to do so. 

-Martin Truex, Jr. came  in the day as the favorite, but fizzled early, finishing 19th, one lap down at the end.

Plus we'll preview this weekend's event at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
