Carl Edwards was the guy who didn't get it quite done in 2011.
Though most would consider 2011 a phenomenal success for Edwards, he now has to do it all over again in 2012. That is simply to get another shot at winning the title.
2011 champ Tony Stewart, as a three-time champion, is not under half the pressure as is Edwards to win his first.
