About
Jimmie Johnson continued making professional sports history in 2010 by extending his streak of consecutive Sprint Cup Series championships to five. With his 39-point victory over runner-up Denny Hamlin, Johnson became the first driver in the seven-year history of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship to overcome a points deficit in the season finale and only the third since 1975 to do so in any format.
Johnson’s success on the track was only surpassed when he and his wife, Chandra, welcomed their first daughter, Genevieve Marie on July 7, completing an incredible year professionally and personally.
Sprint Cup Series Career
After nine full seasons and 327 starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Johnson enters his 10th season driving the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Lowe’s Chevrolet with momentum. Since entering the series full time in 2002, Johnson has never finished outside the top five in the final driver standings – and has only finished outside the top two twice.
Entering 2011, Johnson leads the series with a 16.21-percent win percentage (Jeff Gordon is second among active drivers at 13.29%) and is the only driver to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup each year since the format was adopted in 2004. He is the all-time Chase wins leader with 19.
Johnson, who joins Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as drivers with five championships, needed 327 races to win his fifth title. Petty took 655 events while Earnhardt required 390.
Johnson was also voted Driver of the Year for the fourth time in his career, joining Jeff Gordon as the only other four-time winner of the prestigious award.
Johnson made his first mark in the NASCAR history books in 2009. After becoming the first driver to ever win four consecutive Sprint Cup titles, he became the first race car driver to be named the Associated Press's Male Athlete of the Year in the organization’s 78-year history.
The 35-year-old El Cajon, Calif.-native clinched his first championship in 2006 finishing 56 points ahead of second-place finisher Matt Kenseth. He followed that up in dramatic fashion with a 77-point win over teammate Jeff Gordon in 2007. His third championship came in 2008 when he edged out Carl Edwards by 69 points. His fourth and record-breaking title came in 2009 when he finished 141 points ahead of teammate Mark Martin.
