Where does Jimmy Johnson's dominance of his sport, compare to others?

[Louisvillekid1]

[Wrigley]

Ranks just under Joey Chestnuts 7 straight Nathan Hog Dog titles

[Louisvillekid1]

Woods, Federer, Jack?

[shaunovery]

wouldn't say he's that dominant hasn't won championship for couple of yrs he does content nearly every race but not all of them

[yisman]

Does not compare to the greats. He's the most successful NASCAR driver right now but this is not some all-time great run here.

This is nothing close to what Woods and Federer did in their primes.

I'd say he's right up there with Michael Jordan! Jordan has got 6 rings, Jimmy has 5 Nascar Championships and is right at the top of the standings for a 6th! Greatest basketball player of all time, and the greatest Nascar Champion of all time! Not too many athletes can say they won 6 of anything, except Michael Phelps the 22 gold medal winner of multiple Olympics, that dude is in a category all his own!

Jimmy Johnson won a few super bowls with the cowboys... How bout dem cowboys?

Yeah have to agree, Terry Bradshaw and the Pittsburgh Steelers won 4 super bowl rings with Chuck Noll! Nobody has topped that in the NFL!Pretty wild that there was a Jimmy Johnson winning coach and a Jimmy Johnson champion driver! I guess if your name is Jimmy Johnson, you're destined for greatness!

[The Kraken]

I'd say him, Serena, Tiger an Lebron are on the same level. One of them ain't like the others.

Well, the driver is Jimmie Johnson.

I stand corrected.Maybe it has something to do with being and having a Johnson!

Dominance of their sport in terms of number of championships, I would say Jimmie Johnson (5) is comparable to Richard Petty (7) and Dale Earnhardt (7).

Jeff Gordon (4)

hes closer to him, than he is them

[GP]

JJ did something The King and Sr. never did, win 5 in a row. R. Petty and Earnhardt both won 4 in 5 years. Up until JJ, only Cale Yarborough had won 3 straight. Gordon definitely in the coversation. however, i don't think Johnson is done winning championships. Gordon on the other hand...

[GP]

Granted if there was no Chase, then Gordon would have 2 more (6) and JJ would have 3 less (2). so I see your point WVGambler.

[Louisvillekid1]

Well, the driver is Jimmie Johnson.

OP is clearly an idiot

[Optional]

Winning 5 in a row with the same team doesn't rate as highly as winning 5 over a period with different cars and people . One of the reasons Schumacher's 7 F1 titles does not give him automatic #1 spot in best of all time lists.

I agree he's competing with Gordon, and guys like Pearson, on the next best level of champions after Earnhardt and The King.

[5mike5]

Well, the driver is Jimmie Johnson.

Lol

Well, the driver is Jimmie Johnson.

The driver's parents either couldn't spell or were being a bit cool I think.
