While some complain about all the changes in NASCAR's Chase since 'the old days' when it was simply a season long points battle, we figured it was time to get educated to figure out exactly what happens after the Chase field of 16 is set.  So we did some looking and on the NASCARMedia site, we were able to find the above grid... We read about the Challenger and Contender Rounds... the Eliminator Round... and the Championship race.. and we thought we had it pretty well figured out, but we were still a little confused!.

Thankfully, we don't have to explain it to you because some of your favorite NASCAR drivers have gone ahead and made it easy to explain.  So here it is... With just a few races left before the Chase starts at Chicagoland Speedway, we hope your favorite driver is in the field!
