It Was A Trifecta For NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson

Posted by Penni On November - 19 - 2008

The 2008 NASCAR season officially came to an end Sunday night as Carl Edwards took the checkered flag for a record ninth time this season only to finish second in the points behind Jimmie Johnson who scored his third consecutive Sprint Cup Championship.

Johnson is now a part of history becoming the second driver, along with Cale Yarborough, to win three consecutive titles. Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus, goes into the history books as the only crew chief to achieve the feat.

Johnson’s third title was inevitable with an 141-point lead going into the finale, but Edwards wasn’t giving up. Read the rest of this entry »

Jimmie Johnson Is One Race Away From Making History

Posted by Penni On November - 12 - 2008

Posted by Penni On November - 5 - 2008

It was a weekend full of repeats at Texas Motor Speedway as Ron Hornaday Jr., Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards all made their second trip to TMS’ Victory Lane for the year.

Hornaday, who was the favorite to win, experienced misfortune early on, as the caution came out while he was pitting. He regained the lead and made his way to the front of the pack, passing leader Busch, to captured the win. He is now only six points out of the lead in the Craftsman’s truck series point standings.

The Nationwide race, like the truck race, was dominated by Busch. After starting fourth, Busch quickly made his way to the front taking the lead from Kevin Harvick, who had started second. Read the rest of this entry »
