Since the NASCAR Sprint Championship Series has been around, nobody has won it more – let alone five in a row – than Jimmie Johnson. This win puts the 35-year-old Johnson in the running for the title of one of the best NASCAR drivers of all time, right up there with legends such as Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Richard Petty.
It should also be noted that every single NSCS Championship Johnson won, he was driving a stock car with an engine supplied by Chevrolet. His win also clinches the 34th Manufacturer’s Championship for Chevy – the most won (by far) by a single brand, with Ford coming in a distant second, having just 15.
