Comments on: Is Jimmie Johnson The Best Ever? http://motorsportsweeklynews.com/2010/03/22/is-jimmie-johnson-the-best-ever/ Your place for Motor Sports News Sun, 20 May 2012 04:52:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: TonyMontana http://motorsportsweeklynews.com/2010/03/22/is-jimmie-johnson-the-best-ever/#comment-1129 TonyMontana Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:47:21 +0000 http://motorsportsweeklynews.com/2010/03/22/is-jimmie-johnson-the-best-ever/#comment-1129 Now with 5 in a row, No one will ever come close to that feat. Its funny how the anti-48 fans always try to come up with excuses just to make them feel better about themselves, those are the the clowns who just have no respect to Nascar itself. This kinda reminds me about other dinastys like the Montreal Canadiens (NHL), Yankees (MLB), Edmonton Eskimos (CFL) etc... All the other opposing teams fan bases couldn't stand those teams, well same goes for team 48. So for all the haters, get over it, crying is not going to make your favourite driver any better. Congrats to Jimmie and Chad and Team 48 and Hendrick Motorsports. You guys earned it. Now with 5 in a row, No one will ever come close to that feat.

The only true measure of who is better than who is drivers who are teammates with the same equipment and shared notes.

Tim Flock is the only one lower with 39 wins to Johnson's 50. While it is unlikely that anyone will ever reach Richard Petty and David Pearson on the all-time list, (And there are a myriad of reasons for that which have nothing to do with talent or ability) keep in mind that, in all likelihood, Johnson still has at least another ten years of competitive driving to go. There's no reason to believe that he can't surpass Yarborough and Allison. He needs "only" 36 more wins to reach third on the all-time list and at his current pace he could easily do that in just 5 years or less! There is no certainty in racing, for sure, but given that nothing catastrophic happens to end Johnson's career early, 86 + wins is a reachable goal.

Nobody's been punished as much as Knaus. His owner should be in jail for that racketeering rap with American Honda. What a motley crew! When Johnson wins 200 races, 7 Championships,7 Daytona 500's, 123 poles, then come and talk to me about being the Greatest. He couldn't touch The Silver Fox, Cale,Bobby Allison,Tim Flock etc. either!

We won't know until we have seen him run for a different team with a different crewchief. “Is Jimmie Johnson The Best Ever?” We won’t know until we have seen him run for a different team with a different crewchief.

So I don't know the contents. I saw the title on Jayski and wanted to comment that The answer to the question in my opinion is NO. I am quite the opposite of a Jimmie Johnson fan, in fact I can't stand him or his personality, But I will say that he is a VERY good driver. Let's see how good Jimmie Johnson is when he has to race with another Crew Chief. All of the greats accomplished what they accomplished with multiple crew chiefs. I have a strong speculation that Chad Knaus is making a very good driver look like a great one. As for now, I can only hope that the day when Chad moves on is sooner than later.
