Jimmie Johnson Win's 4th Championship In a Row

Superman did it again Sunday, as Jimmie Johnson won his fourth consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Title. Johnson, who started on the pole Sunday went into Homestead with a 108 point lead over second place Mark Martin, he left with 141 point lead and the Championship. Johnson's fourth title marks the first time in NASCAR history that a driver has won four in a row. In 2008 he won his third in a row(2006-2008) and tied Cale Yarborough who won three in a row from 1976-1978.

With Johnson winning the title again Hendrick Motorsports own Rick Hendrick won his ninth car owner's championship. Hendrick Motorsports has won the last nine of fifteen Sprint Cup titles. The organization is also the first team to sweep the top three spots in the championship standings with Jimmie Johnson finishing first, Mark Martin second and Jeff Gordon third. Not to mention Hendrick Motorsports led the standings after every chase race in 2009, it goes to show they are one of the top teams in the sport.

Johnson, seems to be the driver of the decade and the new face of the sport, he has dominated the chase for the past four years. Jimmie is quoted as saying "I don't know if we'll win another championship. I feel in my heart we'll be competitive, but at some point in time, we won't be that team." From a fan's point of view it's hard to believe this streak could eventually end, for now it could continue next year. Johnson, signed a five year contract extension last week to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through 2015. Chad Knaus, his crew chief is also set to be the crew chief of the #48 through 2015.

Time will certainly tell if or when the championship streak will end, the question is which team will beat Superman and Team 48 and hoist that trophy?

I would love to hear from everyone, Jimmie Johnson is my favorite NASCAR driver, some people don't like him or Team 48 for the simple fact that they believe he cheats. I don't believe it, I've been a fan since he was in the Busch Series. However, everyone is untitled to their own opinions, as am I. If not Jimmie, than who is your favorite driver or drivers and why? What do you think about the chase format and what would you change if anything?

I look forward to hearing from you all.

I had wrote this earlier in the week for another sport's blog I had started but decided to go just with NASCAR and not every sport I watch, I'd rather just have one that I will really get into and enjoy.
