One question that Denny Hamlin doesn't have to worry about anymore is "when are you going to win your first win of the season?"  He answered that on Sunday with the NASCAR Cup Series victory at Richmond Raceway.

Our Hard Left Turn takes a look at all the news out of Richmond, including:

-Hamlin chased down William Byron on newer tires over the closing laps to record not only his first win of the season, but the first for Toyota.

-Kevin Harvick kept the veteran's charge going by finishing second.

-Sunday's race was the first this season that came down to race strategy as opposed to on-track action.

-The NASCAR Hall of Fame announced this week the newest nominees for induction, including Matt Kenseth, Tim Brewer, and A.J. Foyt.

Plus, we'll preview this weekend's NASCAR action under the lights at Martinsville Speedway.

WDUN will carry live MRN Radio coverage of the NASCAR race weekend from Martinsville Speedway, beginning with Friday night's NASCAR Xfinitiy Series Call 811 Before You Dig 250 beginning at 7 pm on 102.9 FM, AM 550 and streaming live on AccessWDUN.  Coverage continues on Saturday night with the NASCAR Cup Series Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 at 6:30 pm on 102.9 FM, AM 550 and streaming live on AccessWDUN.
