PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - Busch bests brother at Bristol

Kyle Busch held off his older brother Kurt over the closing laps of Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race to take the win at Bristol Motor Speedway.

On this week's Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson review this past weekend's Food City 500, including:

-Kyle Busch stayed out on old tires to inherit the lead when Joey Logano and Brad Keseloski pitted late in the going at Bristol, and converted that to his third win of the season.

-Kevin Harvick was hit hard - and we mean HARD - after failing pre-race tech three times Sunday morning.

-While the action on the track was some of the best we've seen this season, it was overshadowed to an extent by the lack of attendance to Sunday's race.  The empty seats were a glaring reminder that something is wrong in NASCAR-land.  Our trio discusses it.

-Amy says there were a lot of "ugly" paint schemes on Sunday.  What more do you need to know?

-The HLT crew previews this weekend's action at Richmond Raceway.
