After plummeting through the field early in the running of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway, Ryan Blaney made the most of the last restart and a shove from Kyle Busch to score his second win of the season.
Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at the action from the Irish Hills, including:
-Blaney's timely charge put him in victory lane and cemented him as a solid contender for the championship with the Playoffs set ot start in two weeks.
-While the Hendrick Motorsports cars showed some speed, they were by no means the dominant force they were earlier in the summer.
-In a race usually known for it's lack of action, Sunday's race with the 550 package showed a lot of promise for the future, with lots of action and close racing.
-Austin Dillon looked to have one of the strongest cars on the day, but a collision with Brad Keselowski at the end of the second segment of the race resulted in a heavy crash that ended Dillon's day.
Plus we'll have a look at the final race of NASCAR Cup Series "regular season", as the cutoff race is set for Saturday at Daytona.
