While we thought the double at Pocono was exciting, things got even more crazy on Wednesday afternoon in NASCAR land.

Our Hard Left Turn crew - with Joe VanHoose pinch hitting for Amy Henderson as the "Pro From Dover" is on the road - tries to break everything down for you on this week's show, inclucing:

-Breaking news on Wednesday afternoon that Chip Ganassi is selling out his NASCAR teams to Trackhouse Racing at the end of the season.

-Alex Bowman and Kyle Busch both came away with unexpected victories in the Pocono doubleheader over the weekend.

-So just what does our crew think of these doubleheader weekends so far?

-At the request of Joe VanHoose, we take a look at the latest on efforts to get North Wilkesboro back in racing shape.

Plus we'll preview the upcoming NASCAR weekend at Road America.

Chip Ganassi has sold his NASCAR team to Justin Marks, owner of Trackhouse Racing, and will pull out of the nation's top stock car series at the end of this season. Ganassi fields two cars in the Cup Series but will transfer his North Carolina race shop and all its assets to Marks for 2022. “He made me a great offer that required my attention,” Ganassi told The Associated Press on Wednesday, June 30, 3031, as the sale was announced.
