Johnson doesn’t think 7 titles in reach
September 30, 2009
CONCORD, N.C. (AP)—Jimmie Johnson doesn’t think he’ll challenge the NASCAR record of seven championships.
Seated next to Richard Petty at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Johnson said The King’s mark is probably safe. He said breaking the record of seven titles shared by Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt probably isn’t possible.
Jeff Gordon leads all active drivers with four titles. Johnson is seeking a record fourth-consecutive title this season. He’s currently ranked second in the Sprint Cup standings, and trails teammate Mark Martin by just 10 points.
Johnson and Petty were honored Wednesday by LMS as “Kings of the Sport.”
