Your Chase competitors, ladies and gentlemen: (back row) Hamster, Flatline, Cuz, Fiffle, Urt, Smoke, The D00D, Rainbow; (front row) Cupcake, The Senator, Vader, Rawhide. (Also known as Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon; Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer.)  

It's a fairly significant turnover from last year. Out are Brian Vickers, Kasey Kahne, Mark Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya and Ryan Newman. In are Harvick, Burton, Bowyer, Kenseth and Kyle Busch. Does that speak to the level of talent in NASCAR, or does that mean everybody's just lining up to play second fiddle to Jimmie?

We've got all kinds of Chase breakdowns throughout the week, driver by driver, but for now, it's your turn. Who's your pick to win? Who's going to chump out in Loudon? Make your case in the comments below. Go!
