HOMESTEAD, Fla. — NASCAR driver, Jimmie Johnson, who won a record five straight titles from 2006 through 2010, just won his sixth Sprint Cup title in eight years on Sunday, November 17, making him one of the fiercest competitors in NASCAR sports history. At the age of 38, Johnson, is now the youngest driver to win six titles, with a career that has plenty more staying power for years to come.

“I feel like this team is capable of a lot of great things. There’s still great years ahead of us,” Johnson said. “But all of that is in the future, a seventh, an eighth. I don’t want to focus on that yet. It’s not time.”
“I have six, and we’ll see if I can get seven,” Johnson said. “Time will tell. I think we need to save the argument until I hang up the helmet, then it’s worth the argument. Let’s wait until I hang up the helmet until we really start thinking about this.”
