Too bad for Stewart. He probably still wouldn't win the championship, but 4th is a lot better than 11th. But then again he probably wouldn't have taken as many risks as he has being out of the chase, but still. There's rumours that NASCAR is going to change the cutoff to 500 points next year and maybe have 12 drivers in the chase. The current 400 point cutoff has never come into play and it usually seems like driver from 8th to 12th before the chase are fairly close together so it might be a little more fair.
