PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - The final countdown to the Daytona 500

Posted 9:13PM on Tuesday 15th February 2022 ( 2 years ago )

There's only a few days now until the 2022 NASCAR Cup Season kicks off with Sunday's Daytona 500, and our Hard Left Turn crew comes in a day early to help you get ready for the final countdown.

And there's a lot to sort through getting ready for the Great American Race, including:

-The Fords were fast in Tuesday's practice sessions.  Will that translate into speed on Wednesday night's pole qualifying?

-Several teams are not bringing back-up cars with them to Daytona.  What will that mean for competition in Thursday night's qualifying races?

-The drivers have announced the formation of a Driver's Council in NASCAR.  What does that mean - in anything - for the future?

-What can we expect to see in Sunday's Daytona 500?

WDUN will carry live MRN Radio coverage of NASCAR SpeedWeeks from the Daytona International Speedway, beginning with Thursday night's NASCAR Cup Series Bluegreen Vacations Duel at Daytona at 6 pm on 102.9 FM, AM 550 and streaming live on AccessWDUN.  Coverage continues on Saturday with the NASCAR Xfinity Series Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner 300 beginning at 4:30 pm on 102.9 FM and streaming live on AccessWDUN.  That leads up to Sunday's 64th annual running of the "Great American Race" - the Daytona 500 - for the NASCAR Cup Series, beginning at 1:30 pm on 102.9 FM, AM 550 and streaming live on AccessWDUN.
