I think this season is going to be very exciting if things continue like they have. There are a lot of strong contenders and I could see the Sprint Cup Chase turning into a 20-way battle if things keep up like they have.
I say this because looking over the points, things seem "bottom-heavy" with a lot of potential race-winning drivers that are well outside the top ten, plus a lot of mid-packers who are in the top 15 because they're putting up very strong and consistent performances. Things are going to be very interesting.
