He did it. Jimmie Johnson earned his six-pack of championship trophies on Sunday night, officially beating runner-up Matt Kenseth by 19 points in the overall standings. An interesting fact for all of you out there: Jimmie has only been in the Cup Series for 12 years (He was a rookie in 2002), and now has six career titles in those twelve years (Batting 0.500 in championships).
With this title, Johnson is now only one championship trophy away from tying the two great legends of our sport: "The Intimidator" Dale Earnhardt and "The King" Richard Petty. With this momentum streak that Johnson and Crew Chief Chad Knaus are currently on, there's no doubt in my mind that can do it. Personally myself, I'm not a big-time fan of Johnson's but the man can drive...AND HE IS DEFINITELY AN ATHLETE (*cough cough* Donavan McNabb *cough*)
