Climbing Higher Into Rarefied Air With Every Victory
Jimmie Johnson tied Cale Yarborough's Cup win total of 83 with a hard fought victory at Dover Sunday afternoon. We are witnessing greatness that we haven't seen before and may well never see again in NASCAR Cup competition.
In addition to his superior driving, Jimmie's humility, manners and class represents a stark contrast to the foolish, childish, and yes, embarrassing nonsense we watched from the 2nd place finisher at the Coke 600 last week. It was embarrassing to all of auto racing. It is highly infrequent that we see Jimmie's exceptional talent and will to win coupled with such grace, humility and manners. Especially in NASCAR.
Congrats to Jimmie on achieving another milestone. We all are fortunate to be around to witness one of the sports greatest career's. Not only in racing but in all of sports.
