Denny Hamlin dominated Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at ISM Raceway to score the win and move to the Championship round for the title next weekend.
On this week's edition of the Hard Left Turn podcast, Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson review the Bluegreen Vacations 500 at Phoenix, including:

-Chase Elliott saw his all-or-nothing bid to make the title round go away with a cut tire and hard crash on lap 165.
