@@KonwTheTrutnot back in 2002. However, we can’t ignore the fact Newman was only 7 points back in an era where that was less than two positions on the track. Johnson wasn’t miles better than Newman in their rookie years
Watching this video makes me think that if things went well for Johnson in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2012, we would have an 11-time NASCAR champion. In return, this would make Jimmie Johnson the GOAT without any question and set a new record that would probably never be broken.
His rookie season was impressive finishing 5th in his first full season. Also he lead the point standings after the Kansas race first rookie to lead the points. I wish he won rookie of the year but Ryan Newman had a great year as well.
2002, 2004, 2012. As a Johnson fan, I always look at these three years the most as to potential championships Jimmie could’ve had. Heck, he could’ve been a 10 time champion.
Jimmie Johnson had a lot of chances early on in his career to win championships. 02, 03, and 04 he was pretty close. Would’ve been wild if he won it any of those years so early
@@hudsboy1049 IMO 2012 is more painful than 2004 because he was inconsistent and just had so much bad luck that year. The fact he was able to finish top 3 in the points after the year he HAD all around shows how truely talented he was
It was 04 when Kurt Busch lost a tire at homestead but it literally happened as he pulled into pit lane. That happens literally anywhere else on the race track an Johnson is a 8 time champion
@@TheIceberg I believe Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin are of similar skill. But Jimmie was able to have a lot of success with a GREAT team and teammate.
It's insane to know that if things went right for Johnson in 2002, 2004, and 2005. He would have had 10 championships, instead of 5 in a row, it would be 7 in a row.
I think Matt Kenseth in 2002 deserves his missing ring because he was the winningest driver. It gets me to wonder, what if Kenseth was consistent in 2002, would he win the championship?
@@njj9555 Voting has nothing to do with Rookie of the Year in NASCAR. Back then, the rookies had a separate points system & standings from the regular points standings. They based it on their 15 best finishes of the year. Nowadays, ROTY is simply the driver who finishes highest in points.
Man sterling marlin I remember winning over and over that one year and then getting injured and Jamie McMurray made his debut in the coors 40, that championship looked like it was gonna be his. That being said Jimmie is a super nice dude everytime I met him but damnit I couldn’t stand him because I knew he got the better equipment over Jeff’s and that just made me mad. Jeff should’ve had 120 wins and 8 championships.

not sure about mark martin in 98. gordon had the best year in modern history. but I'll admit that martins 98 season would have won the cup most other years. 7 wins ,4 or 5 poles I believe, the all star race and about 20 top 5's.💥
I wouldn't put Johnson even close to the greatest ever conversation. Yeah, he won seven championships but they were all Chase/Playoffs format championships which really aren't worth as much as an old season long aggregate championship. The GOAT conversation includes Petty, Earnhardt, Gordon, Yarborough, and Pearson. Johnson is in the group right outside those five.

Newman won ROY because Ryan's ten best finishes that were not wins were better than Jimmie's. Rookie of year had different points than the Cup Series.

All I can think of while watching this video was, "Hey, I know that paint scheme and car from NASCAR Thunder 2003!"

I became a fan of his around Pocono 02 and been a fan ever since. People seem to forget how good he was rookie year and even led points.
Earnhardt was better loser

He was driving Jeffs cars that he won the previous years championship with, that's why he was so good.
