PODCAST: Hard Left Turn Encore - McDowell gets improbable Daytona 500 win

As everyone recovers from the New Year's holiday and gets back into the groove, our Hard Left Turn crew wants to take one more look at the 2021 season.

Specifically, they want to reflect on one of the most unexpected moments of last year, the Daytona 500, - and one of their favorites - where Michael McDowell threaded the needle of a crash between teammates Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski, and then held Chase Elliott at bay to score his first career NASCAR Cup Series win in the biggest race of the year.

It was a race that was on the minds of our panel during the recent Lefties Awards Show, so with the new racing season on the horizon, we thought it only fitting to look back at the start of last season.  Plus it gives us chance to see what predictions they made following the running of the Great American Race.

So enjoy this encore presentation of the Hard Left Turn 2021 Daytona 500 show from February 17, 2021, and our crew will be back with fresh shows starting next week!
