2011 is a Season of Change in NASCAR with 3 races left.

Heading into Sunday's race at Texas Car Edwards leads Tony Stewart by 8 points after Stewart's win at Martinsville and Matt Kenseth's frustrating day. What does this mean? Simple:

The past 5 championships have all been won by Jimmie Johnson, driver of the #48 Lowe's Chevy from 2006-2010. With Johnson 6th in the standings 43 points behind, this could finally be the year we have a different winner of the Sprint Cup since Stewart won it back in 2005.
