Jimmie Johnson and his Crew

Jimmie Johnson and his crew have had some great success in recent years in the world of NASCAR racing. Johnson works with Hendrick Motorsports with fellow team member Jeff Gordon.

Like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson started racing at the age of five. However, Johnson grew up racing motorcycles in both the 50cc and 60cc classes. Despite his career racing motorcycles and stock cars in the ASA, Johnson's real breakout stardom came upon his joining the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Even in his rookie year in 2002, Jimmie Johnson and his crew achieved some accomplishments noteworthy of the record books, including being the only rookie to ever be at the top of the point standings at any point during the Sprint Cup season. The early triumphs Johnson experienced did not diminish in successive years. He won the Coca-Cola 600 a record three times in a row in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

Jimmie Johnson and his crew started out the 2006 season with a bang by winning the Daytona 500. His wins in 2006 kept piling up, and he managed to achieve a Career Grand Slam after coming in first at Aaron's 499 in Talladega. He finished the season off first place in points, garnering his first Sprint Cup championship. But, Johnson was not done there. He raced exceptionally in both the 2007 and 2008 seasons, winning the Sprint Cup Series a total of three times in a row.

As of July 21, 2009, Johnson has won two races in the 2009 season and is still high up in the point rankings at third. He still has a chance to win a historic fourth NASCAR championship in a row.
