@@jingleoctopus4160 no just remember him being a wrecking ball when he first came into the cup. Watch one too many races where he took out the whole field.

Jimmie is the reason I'm a fan. I had his diecast, and liked his car schemes in the old NASCAR '06-'07 games. Started watching in late '06, and as a kid, you like the guy who wins. But as an adult, I loved the guys who won and were humble about it. Dude is a class act, talented, and I'm glad I picked him all these years later.
Although I loathed watching him win all the time, I now truly appreciate the amazing and talented competitor he was. It was an honor watching him win live in person as well. One of the best ever!
This man has my childhood, I start watch NASCAR in 2008 and he was dominant on this era won 5 straits championships (2006-2010), 2013 and 2016. He dominated the COT and Sprint Era of NASCAR.
My favorite driver for all time whatever he's racing! Have been a fan of his since 2009 and always will be. Not to mention the best role model you could ask for. Love ya Jimmie!
picked him as my driver when he won the first race i ever watched.. i was probably 5 or 6. i was the envy of my household for a decade because i happened to pick the GOAT and followed him the whole run. it's a different sport now that i still love, but he was a huge part of my childhood and i'll forever look up to one of the most dedicated and dominant athletes of any sport ever.
@Chiefsfan 11 Same! The first race I ever watched was at Sonoma, my grandpa's favorite driver was Jeff Gordon, Johnson actually crashed that day and Gordon won, but I had the last laugh over my grandpa, as Johnson would go on to win 7
Jimmie Johnson will always be a legend....... He's a very nice guy.... family man.... Is the greatest * in my opinion* .... He did it all in different eras....But he will find a win as best as he can
Jeff Gordon was and will always be my favorite nascar driver of all time but growing up I was both a Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson fan to me they were more than just teammates they were brothers and I miss them both😭
Gordon was/is the co-owner of the 48 team. Rick Hendrick wanted nothing to do with Jimmie because he was a wrecking ball before he entered the Cup series. Gordon basically told Rick to trust him and that this kid had what it takes to be great. Gordon became his mentor. Chad Knaus was an engineer on Gordon’s team I believe before they made him crew chief for Jimmie. The rest is history.
@@nascarandrc8296 I found your burner...you're that Dale Sr fan, RC88 or whatever, that went on every single JJ video telling us how Dale is better. You're pathetic.
I started watching nascar around 2006, I really liked Johnson because he was nice, didn't get into fights and did'nt wreck people. I cant believe all he has accomplished, looking forward to the 500.
@@nascarandrc8296 considering Jimmie won FIVE consecutive titles against even stiffer competition than Dale competed against- without the need to dump people for the win I’d say he was far from “overrated.” The last three years of his career were marked as much by bad luck as by lack of speed- which had as much to do with the CAR as with him. Many a great driver had quiet times at the end, just look at Richard Petty. Dale won plenty of races clean… and plenty of them dirty. Rubbing is one thing, taking someone else out is another.
Brad is just the most unlikable guy in NASCAR lol. He is so talented and I want to root for him, but his interviews are just always garbage. He is also still hurt about losing his chance at Hendrick.
Brad has an excellent point- even if you don’t want to hear it. Jimmie is immeasurably talented, but the best driver in the world goes nowhere without a quality team behind them. I follow the World of Outlaws sprint cars, have for years. The two best I ever saw were Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz (and of course now Brad Sweet). They have a multitude of wins and championships, but quickly point out it was because they had a team that could give them equipment they could use their talents to best effect. The simple fact is, Jimmie won SEVEN cup titles- with his TEAM.
Jimmie Johnson wouldn't have won all those races if he was with a trash team like Morgan McClure racing In the 2000s come on bruh, Mark Martin when he went to Rick Hendrick said it was like NASA. So if you don't think Jimmy Johnson's equipment had a lot to do with his wins then you're just a gullible naive fool.

I would believe I am Jimmie Johnson #1 fan ❤️. I stopped watching NASCAR after Jimmie Johnson retired. even though today he wrecked his Indy car Jimmie Johnson will always be my favorite Driver 🏆🏁🥰. Jimmie Johnson is also the sweetest man you will ever meet.. Love You Jimmie Johnson ❤️🔥
Jimmie's reputation isn't in jeopardy at all, no matter what happens at Indy. I won't deny. I loathed him for the longest time in NASCAR, eventually growing past it and recognizing he is one of the absolute best. I want this man to succeed where he wants to.
What makes JJ so unique from the other 7 timers is how NORMAL he is! Earnhardt and Petty were definitely unique guys (Dale Jr straight up called his dad weird once), but that makes sense given how driven someone needs to be to be THAT successful. Yet I think if you met JJ and had no clue of his profession I bet you'd have no idea he was such a legend.
That’s incredible! Jimmie Johnson is my inspiration due to my recent domination on iRacing, I ran a tribute to his 2016 car this year at Autoclub and I’m going to at Texas. I became a fan in 2020 so I didn’t get to see him win but watching some of his old races is really fun! Best of luck to him and his team!
Jimmie Johnson is a "Never Say Die" attitude. He won 7 championships and athleticism. He is one of the most prospective ideas in race meetings before the race.
I'm surprised he never got the "Superman" nickname after winning in that car with all the success that he had. Started watching in '05 or '06 and I'm glad I got to watch it all. He and Gordon were my first favorites (eventually started rooting for all of HMS) and some of my family didn't like that lol. As much as I think some of those weren't completely deserved (Chase/Playoffs), still one heck of a career!
Jimmie was a great driver. But he also had a great car owner, a great race team, and the greatest Crew Chief ever in NASCAR. Could another driver with Johnson's team, owner, and crew chief do the same thing he did? I don't know. Probably not is what I choose to believe.
2017 was fine Jimmie got wins. 2018, No hendrick even made it to the Final 4. And hendrick as an entire organization only amassed 3 wins. So it wasn't a good year for the entire group. 2019 was a coming back to the front year with 4 wins total. 2020 was a year Jimmie should have got a win. Cars were good and plenty of wins so ya.
God I used to watch this guy all the time and he is my favorite driver when he raced in nascar. I have do many moments from him 5 time champion in a row and just how many times that car should have been a wrecked but he saved it multiple times and the greatest save as well goes down the greatest save ever in nascar history.
If anyone has started watching Nacar within the past 5 years they wouldn't know the lore/Legend of Jimmie Johnson all they would have seen is the end to his career
NASCAR is always changing their rules to chase after ratings. I don't see how Jimmie's record of 7 and 5 straight will be broken because of NASCAR's "Wink Martindale" gameshow playoff format.
Then why didn't Jeff win a championship with the playoff format if its so easy to do? If Jeff is so good why didn't he do what Jimmie did and Just all out dominate. Thats right he couldn't. Jimmie superior
@@tstuff1213 because the system never favors a consistent driver like him who may of not got lots of wins but finished well without those playoffs he had at least another 3 championship and Jimmie had only 2-3 at most
@@MattMRKMFMattJG24 Larson, Truex, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson all Really consistent and won championships in this format. So why couldn't Jeff. Also Jeff has 93 wins! one of the most winningest drivers EVER so he can thrive in a win driven format. But he failed and Jimmie excelled. Considering Jimmie finished twice in 2nd for the winston Cup championship in his first 2-3 years in the series Im sure we could have won 3 or more Cup championships under the winston format in his prime.
@@tstuff1213 most of those probably would of won without it they didn't need to rely on it as heavily has Johnson did most of the championships he won be the playoffs he wasn't first and the person who was normally was fell down the list all because they didn't have enough wins
@@MattMRKMFMattJG24 Well isn't the whole point of nascar to win races? Consistency is great and all but a win is what matters more than anything in our sport. Winning is alot harder to do too at times then being consistent (especially during the most competitive era in all of Nascar) with a good car/team you can run top 10 year round but consistently going for wins like Jimmie did is alot harder to do.Consistency is important don't get me wrong. But you also can't act like Johnson wasn't consistent. Again he finiahed 2nd twice in tbe battle for the Winston Cup championship in his first 3 years in the sport. So he had the consistency to do it. Also Jimmies first 5 championships were still in the first playoff format (not what we have today) where it was very points dependent sure winning often earned you more points (as it should ) but he didn't even have to win the final race at Homestead those years because he won on points. So you had to be both consistent and be able to win alot of races
I want him to come back to Nascar. His final few years were just horrible timing. Chevy was so far behind for a few years, and then the final falling apart with Knaus, and having to go through another crew chief before finally getting a decent one with Daniels. Covid screwed up his final year, and the no qualifying that year just destroyed his (and most other drivers) chances of winning a race. The top 12 were guaranteed the top 12 spots on the track each week, and those guys got all the wins. Meanwhile, every other driver was fighting from the back week after week. It was just wrong. Johnson deserved a better final year.
Because they cheated, they always cheated and would mess up the front end of the car before post inspection, chad was a cheater and they drew fans away from NASCAR
What's your favorite Jimmie Johnson moment?
his 7 championship
His Dover save and 7th championship in 2016.
Seeing him win seven championships
His 7th NASCAR Cup Series Championship
Being the best driver in the most competitive era in NASCAR history.
