Brad Keselowski led only one lap in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway, but it was the most important lap - the final one.

Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at the race action from Talladega, including:

-Keselowski's last lap pass gave him his first win of the season, and tied him with Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. with six wins each at Talladega.

-Matt DiBenedetto was less than a mile and a half from his first career Cup Series win before being bypassed by Keselowsi.

-Joey Logano took a scary looking ride at the end of the first segment of the race, sliding on his roof into turn one.

-Michael McDowell turned in his best performance of the season since winning at Daytona with a third place finish.

-We don't want to sound like a broken record, but Denny Hamlin AGAIN led the most laps, but AGAIN saw a strong run go south on Sunday.

Plus we'll preview the weekend's NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway.

WDUN will carry live MRN Radio coverage of  Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Buschy McBusch Race 400 beginning at 2 pm on 102.9 FM, AM 550 and streaming live on AccessWDUN.
