NOTES:

After four races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, Carl Edwards owns the slimmest of leads heading into Charlotte. Edwards is one point ahead of Kevin Harvick and four clear of last week's winner Jimmie Johnson as the drivers reach the halfway point of the Chase.

Johnson put on a dominating performance but had to hold off Kasey Kahne during a green-white-checkered finish to win last week's race. The five-time Sprint Cup champion should have the upperhand this week, as he owns six titles in Charlotte, including three wins in the last seven fall races.

Last year, Jamie McMurray added another big win to his turnaround season by taking the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. McMurray did not qualify for the 2010 championship Chase, but he outran title contenders Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson in the closing laps for his third victory of the season. He passed Busch after the final restart with 21 laps remaining and easily pulled away from the field from there. McMurray had won the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis earlier that year.

Although there were 22 lead changes among nine drivers, Jimmie Johnson was the main ingredient in 2009, as he captured the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the third time. Johnson became the first pole sitter to win the fall race at Charlotte since 1982. He grabbed the lead for the fifth time on lap 321, and then held it for his 46th of 55 career Sprint Cup victories. He finished 2.303 seconds ahead of runner-up Matt Kenseth.

Johnson is tied with Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip for most victories at Charlotte with six. Three of Johnson's six wins at Charlotte have come in the fall race (2004, '05 and '09).

In a race that featured 24 lead changes among 16 drivers, Jeff Burton came away as the Charlotte race winner in October 2008. Burton held off Kasey Kahne at the finish by less than one second. He led the final 57 laps for his 21st career Sprint Cup win. Johnson started on the pole and led a race-high 67 laps, but wound up finishing sixth. Burton has not won since Charlotte three years ago.

In 2007, Jeff Gordon took the lead for the final time with five laps remaining, and the held off Clint Bowyer for his 81st career Sprint Cup victory. Gordon has won four times since and now totals 85 victories. Johnson finished 14th, despite leading a race-high 95 laps. Ryan Newman started on the pole, but finished 28th after a crash put him out of the race.

Kasey Kahne recorded a season-sweep at Charlotte when he won the fall event there in 2006. Kahne put on a dominating performance by leading a race-high 134 laps. He crossed the finish line 1.624 seconds ahead of Johnson for series-high sixth win of the season.

Johnson became the first driver to win four consecutive races at Charlotte when he took the fall event there in October 2005. In a race that spanned more than four hours due to a NASCAR record 22 cautions, Johnson grabbed the lead with 12 laps to go, and then drove to his 18th career Cup victory. Elliott Sadler started on the pole and led the most laps with 112, but Sadler finished 27th after crashing late in the race.

This will be the 106th Sprint Cup race at Charlotte. Sixty of the previous 104 races there have been won from a top-five starting position. Thirty of them have been won from the front starting row. David Pearson, a 14-time pole sitter here, posted 11 straight poles at Charlotte from the fall of 1973 through 1978.

The October 23rd Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway is the next race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, as Clint Bowyer will defend his title.
