With eight laps to go on Sunday, Kurt Busch powered his way around Kyle Larson to take the lead, and went on to record his first win of the 2022 season at Kansas Speedway.

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

-Kurt Busch was strong all day, and was not going to be denied the NASCAR Cup Series victory at Kansas.

-The final pass for the lead resulted in Larson getting into the wall, but he didn't cry foul on the move by Kurt Busch.

-Tires - or rather the failure of the tires - were a major factor in Sunday's race.

-Meanwhile, practice for the Indianpolis 500 got underway on Tuesday, and Jimmie Johnson was impressive in his first full day at speed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Plus, we'll preview the NASCAR All-Star weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.
