What: Race 36 of 36 (final race of Chase)
Track: Oval, 1.5 miles
Race distance: 400.5 miles, 267 laps
Last year: Jimmie Johnson won his record fifth straight season title, becoming the first driver in Chase history to overcome a points deficit in the finale.
Last week: Kasey Kahne won at Phoenix International Raceway to end an 81-race victory drought.
Fast facts: A race victory would give either Edwards or Stewart the title, while Edwards needs only to finish ahead of Stewart to take the championship. If they tie in points, Stewart owns the tiebreaker with four season victories -- all in the Chase -- to Edwards' one. They each have 356 points in the first nine Chase races, and Edwards earned three bonus points for his victory in Las Vegas in March. ... Edwards is seeking his first Cup title.
