It took an extra day thanks to the rain, but Chase Elliott became the fourth and final Hendrick Motorsports driver of 2022 to get a victory on Monday at Dover Motor Speedway.

Our Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at the news coming out of the "Monster Mile", including:

-Elliott took the lead on the final restart of Monday's race, and used the clean air to his advantage to get the win.

-Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. came home in second, a solid shot in the arm for his JTG Daugherty Racing team.

-Last lap contact while racing for third led to a pit road discussion between Ross Chastain and Martin Truex, Jr.

-There has been some doubt as to the future of Dover Motor Speedway.  Did Monday's race do anything to change that?

-The latest class to the NASCAR Hall of Fame was just announced late Wednesday afternoon.  What does our panel think?

Plus, we'll preview the upcoming Throwback Weekend at Darlington Raceway.
