There are only five Toyota drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth join Furniture Row Racing's Martin Truex Jr. in the 16-driver Chase. That's less than the nine Chevrolet drivers (Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Larson, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch, Chris Buescher, Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon and Jamie McMurray) but more than Ford has (Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano).

So why is it the Toyota drivers have been pegged as possibly the teams to beat entering the 10-race Chase?
