Intersesting fun fact I found on the net:
If you're looking for who the favorite is heading into the Chase, consider this: JJ has led 1,235 laps this season; Tony Stewart has led 275.

I still like Stewart and never count out Gordon.

It is going to come down to one of the big three, Stewart, Gordon, of Johnson. Whomever gets hot down the stretch and runs the best will win as they are all great drivers.
