Kyle Larson resumed his ongoing domination of the NASCAR Cup Series by scoring his fifth win of the season on Sunday at Watkins Glen.

Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at the latest news from the circuit, including:

-Sad news on Monday, as legendary motorsports broadcaster Bob Jenkins passed away at the age of 73.

-On Sunday, Larson returned to his winning ways as Hendrick Motorsports resumed their dominance of road courses, with Chase Elliott driving to a second place finish after starting at the pack of the pack.

-Martin Truex, Jr. led a Joe Gibbs Racing sweep of third through fifth, followed by teammates Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin.

-On the other side of the coin, it was a rough outing for the Penske Fords, with the highlight being a spin by Brad Keselowski that gathred up teammate Joey Logano.

Plus we'll preview this weekend's first outing for the NASCAR Cup Series on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's infield road course.
