Championship Scenarios For Edwards And Stewart

Source: www.jayski.com

Only one finish guarantees Carl Edwards his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship a victory in Sunday’s season-finale Ford 400. Just three points separate points leader #99-Carl Edwards and second-place #14-Tony Stewart, a margin so tight, no other finish would clinch the title for Edwards regardless of where Stewart finishes. Stewart owns the tie-breaker (best finishes), and therefore could tie and win his third series championship. All other drivers are officially eliminated from championship contention. Edwards’ three-point lead roughly translates to 13 points under the previous points system. That makes it the closest margin between first and second going into the final race in Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup history, and third-closest since the inception of the position-based points structure in 1975.(NASCAR)(11-14-2011)

I hope Carl Edwards wins the championship.  Tony Stewart has two already!  It’s not like he needs any more.
