The 1-mile oval has opened the 10-race playoffs since its inception in 2004. But starting next year, the track will be pushed back to the second race in the Chase as Chicagoland Speedway will host the opener.
The Sprint Cup Series points were reset after Richmond, and many of the Chasers are favorites for the win at the SYLVANIA 300 at Loudon. Five of the 12 drivers have yet to claim a victory this season. Odds are a Chase driver will add to the "w" column at Sunday's race, but it's always possible a driver outside the top 12 could be the one standing in Victory Lane. Reigning champion Jimmie Johnson won the spring race. Defending fall race winner is Mark Martin.
