Jimmie Johnson Career Highlights
Monday, November 23, 2009
Dover International Speedway Sends A Monster "congrats" To Jimmie Johnson
From Dover International Speedway
DOVER, Del. - Since the inception of the "Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup" in 2004, no driver has ever won the September NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Monster Mile and the series championship in the same season ... until now. Jimmie Johnson captured his fourth consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship on Sunday becoming the first driver to ever win four in a row.
"There always seems to be a least one athlete in a sport that sets the bar just a little bit higher than any other competitor, and in NASCAR, that person is Jimmie Johnson," said Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. "Dynasties in sports aren't always appreciated as they happen, and unfortunately, Jimmie's current dominance may be a prime example. But I think when we look back 10 or 20 years from now, we'll all really be impressed at what he was able to accomplish during this stretch in NASCAR history.
"At times, he can win a race at ease it seems, and it's becoming that way with championships. He knows how to get it done when the pressure is on, and his crew serves as a great supporting cast if he happens to get in trouble on the track."
Johnson launched his championship campaign this season by winning the second race in the "Chase" at Dover on Sept. 27, 2009. Johnson's No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet Impala SS led 271 of 400 laps en route to sweeping the NASCAR Sprint Cup races at Dover in 2009. He also swept both races at Dover in 2002, his rookie season.
The win, his fifth at Dover, also tied him for third on the track's all-time wins list with David Pearson.
Tickets are now on sale for the May 14-16, 2010 NASCAR tripleheader weekend at Dover International Speedway. For more information, or to purchase tickets, call 800-441-RACE or visit DoverSpeedway.com.
