PODCAST: Hard Left Turn Retro Replay - The 1973 Daytona 500

With Speedweeks at Daytona just around the corner, our Hard Left Turn decided to jump in the Wayback Machine for another Retro Replay.

This time, we look back 50 years to the 1973 Daytona 500 - and the triumph and heart break that came with it.

Buddy Baker started on the pole in the No. 71 K&K Insurance Dodge, and from the word go was the man to beat.  But did it work out for him?

To watch the race, go here.  For added content, take a look at the qualifying races here and here.

Plus we'll look at some of the latest headlines.
