Comments on: How Jimmie Johnson ACTUALLY Won the 7th Championship https://mrpitbox.com/2023/11/25/how-jimmie-johnson-actually-won-the-7th-championship/ Nascar videos for all Sat, 25 Nov 2023 17:47:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7 By: Austin https://mrpitbox.com/2023/11/25/how-jimmie-johnson-actually-won-the-7th-championship/#comment-95596 Sat, 25 Nov 2023 17:17:45 +0000 https://mrpitbox.com/?p=24291#comment-95596 Crazy to think about but winning 5 titles in a row does get forgotten. It’s possible the popularity of NASCAR took a hit because no one could stop Jimmie, but however you look at it 5 in a row is just an insanely ridiculous feat.

Did nascar want Jimmie to get that 7th and then Blaney pays it forward to logano for his.

He only has 7 due to the playoffs. In a season where every race matters he doesnt…

Keep in mind that without the Chase/Playoffs, he would be a 2-time Cup Series Champion. (2008 and 2011)

@Brian5995M And it hasn’t since 2004. I mean, I’m not saying it never happens, (it happened in 2005, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2017, 2019, and 2021) but when it does happen, it’s only by chance.

I agree though, this doesn’t necessarily warrant hatred towards Jimmie Johnson; the man was just doing his job. You can’t blame a guy for doing what he gets paid to do.

Very sad that Carl stepped away from racing and I never saw him on TV ever since.

Sooooo right! Like don’t get me wrong, I like Jimmie and he’s one of the greatest drivers, but this playoff system doesn’t reward the best driver of the year a championship anymore!

There will never be a another 7 time champion, there will only be three, Earnhardt, Petty and Johnson the three best NASCAR drivers of all time.
