My, how times have changed.
It wasn't too long ago you'd be crazy to pick anybody but Jimmie Johnson to win in Charlotte. From 2003-05, Johnson won five of the six races and finished third in the other one. After a "dry spell" of four seasons, Johnson won again in 2009 and then picked up another win in 2014's spring race.

But, as we just said, times changed. Charlotte Motor Speedway is no longer just Johnson's playground. Others want in on the action, too.
