Alex Bowman used two fresh tires and track position on a late restart to score his first victory of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season on Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
On this week's Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson break down the action from Las Vegas, including:
-The Team Hendrick gamble on two tires as opposed to four on the final pit stop paid off big for Bowman. What does this tell us about strategy moving forward?
-After a rough start to the season, it appeared that Kyle Busch was ready to carry Joe Gibbs Racing back to victory lane in 2022.
-Ross Chastain came oh-so-close to scoring his first career series win as the RCR affiliated teams continue to show strength.
-Brandon takes a moment to talk about Gresham Motorsports Park, a local track with a lot of NASCAR history that will cease to be in the near future.
Plus, we'll preview the NASCAR race weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
