Jimmie Johnson once again proves he’s probably the best driver NASCAR has ever seen. 10 full seasons, 5 championships, never out of the top 5 in points. Can you think of any driver who had a .500 championship average? Incredible teamwork, saving the car until the end of the race & avoiding trouble. These are the things that the smartest drivers do.
They don’t drive 3 wide on lap 10, they don’t drive in 3 different series all year, they don’t own Truck & Nationwide teams. They don’t create grudges that last all year long, wrecking out of a race just to give your enemy the finger. Lot of dopes in cup. Jimmie Johnson is not one of them.
