It may not have been a points paying race, but that made no difference to Kyle Larson, who continued his current stranglehold over the NASCAR Cup Series with a win in the NASCAR All Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at the action from the Lone Star All Star, including:

-Larson seems absolutely untouchable right now, as he pocketed a cool one-million dollar win on Sunday at Fort Worth.

-Brad Keselowski made Larson work for it at the end, as the Team Penske driver put together a surprising charge in the final segment of the race, having to settle for second in the end.

-With the race running in six segments, Hendrick Motorsports won all but one of those segments, as Ryan Blaney broke up the act for just one segment.

-Going into Sunday's race, we were all a little confused as to the format.  After Sunday's race, we were all just as confused.

-Plus we'll preview this weekend's action at Nashville Superspeedway.
