Fresh off a turning-point race in Martinsville, the 2011 Sprint Cup title fight could be in for another significant evolution with this weekend's AAA Texas 500 at the Texas Motor Speedway.
Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart are the key players in the fight for this year's Sprint Cup trophy, but three races can be an eternity in motorsports. Trouble for Edwards and Stewart Sunday could give Kevin Harvick or Brad Keselowski one more opportunity to sneak into title contention.
While the list of realistic title contenders has dwindled to four, there will be 39 other drivers chasing a trophy and momentum as the off-season nears. With much left to race for, you won't want to miss the on-track action this weekend, and with SB Nation Atlanta's weekend TV schedule, you have no excuse.
All times Eastern, of course.
