PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - Denny Hamlin tames Texas

Denny Hamlin bounced back from a pair of pit road penalties to score his second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win of the season on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.

On this week's Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson review this past weekend's O’Reilly Auto Parts 500, including:

-Hamlin comes back from two penalites - along with a couple of miscues - to drive to the win in the Lone Star State.

-While things went well for Hamlin, the wheels came off for all three Team Penske cars - a rare sight this season.

-While the cars were closer at Texas, they didn't seem to be able to pass.  Our HLT team discusses it.

-The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series schedule was released last week, with several changes for next year lined up.

-The HLT crew previews this weekend's action at Bristol Motor Speedway.

WDUN will carry live PRN radio coverage of all the action from Bristol this weekend, starting on Saturday with the NASCAR Xfinity Series Alsco 300 beginning at 12:30 on 102.9 FM and streaming live on AccessWDUN.  Then on Sunday, it’s the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Food City 500 beginning at 1 o’clock on WDUN 102.9 FM, AM 550 or streaming live on AccessWDUN.
