The NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway proved to be unique and historic, as well as emotional for a lot of reasons.

You can be sure our Hard Left Turn crew has a take on it all, as Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson takes a look at the extended weekend, including:

-The NASCAR family made a stand behind one of their own on Monday at Talladega Superspeedway.

-Thankfully, there was no active threat made over the weekend.  Our crew looks at how the situation was handled.

-Meanwhile, Ryan Blaney scored a heartstopping victory by inches in Monday's rain delayed race at Talladega.
