PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - Elliott wins in relatively tame Talladega race

For those out there who were expecting a lot of crashes and mayhem at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, it just didn't go down that way.

Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at the news and notes coming out of the NASCAR race weekend, including:

-Chase Elliott used a last lap pass to score the NASCAR Cup Series win at Talladega - becoming the first Playoff driver to win.

-While there were four cautions on the day for on-track incidents, they usual carnage just didn't happen.  Why?

-With Elliott now locked into the Round of 8, is the Playoff picture any less murky?

-It was a tumultuous weekend off the track, as several drivers continued to question the safety of the Next Gen car.

-Plus we'll preview this weekend's action from the Charlotte infield road course.
