After his teammate, Chase Elliott, held up the leader with a handful of laps to go, Kyle Larson swept past to score the NASCAR Cup Series win on Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a frank look at the situation that broke out on the Bristol high banks on Saturday night, including:
-After contact while fighting with Kevin Harvick for the lead sent him to the pits with a flat tire with 30 laps to go, Chase Elliott returned to the track three laps down and proceeded to hold up Harvick to allow Larson to get by. One of our crew is not pleased at this, and will tell you why. At length.
-With their finishes on Saturday night, Aric Almirola, Tyler Reddick, Kurt Busch, and Michael McDowell were eliminated from the Playoffs on Saturday night. How many of these were surprises?
-Now that the Round of 12 has been set, who looks good and who is sitting on a hot stove moving forward?
-Plus, we take a look at this weekend's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
