Going into the last lap of Sunday night's NASCAR Cup Series race on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway, Kyle Busch was running a distant third.

But when the checkered flag flew, it was Busch first across the finish line to score the victory.

Our Hard Left Turn crew is ready to break down the action from Sunday's event, including:

-The race looked to between Tyler Reddick and Chase Briscoe, but when the two tangled and spun with two turns to go, it was Busch getting his first win of the 2022 season.

-In stark contast to some last lap shenanigans seen as of late, Reddick and Briscoe acted like professionals after the race, each owning their role in the fracas that took away their chances for a win.

-There were changes to the layout to the dirt version of Bristol this year as opposed to last.  Did it have the desired effect, and was the racing actually better?

-Sunday's race was the first one for NASCAR in quite some time to be run on Easter Sunday.  Was the choice a hit or a miss?

Plus we'll preview this weekend's action from Talladega Superspeedway.
