Joey Logano is the first to lock himself into the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship round after shoving Martin Truex, Jr. out of the way to win at Martinsville.

This week's Hard Left Turn podcast reviews the action from Sunday's First Data 500 at Martinsville Speedway, including:

-Logano's win may lock him into the Playoffs, but it has drawn the ire of several.  Does that matter with the title round on the line?

-Martin Truex, Jr. was none to happy after Sunday's race.  But does that mean he will be even harder to beat in the next two rounds?

-Stewart-Haas Racing had what appeared to be an off day on Sunday.  Has the team run out of steam at this point in the Playoffs?

-After starting on the pole, Kyle Busch had a sub-par day (at least for him) on Sunday.  Will he come out swinging at Texas?

-Who is in and who is looking shaky with two Playoff rounds left before Miami?

-We preview Sunday's second round of the Round of 8 at Texas.
