Johnson steps it up just in time for crunch-time. No one has come up with a real nickname for Jimmie Johnson, so I’m going to be the first to offer one up. “Captain Crunch,” because when it’s crunch-time, Johnson has stepped up to the plate and has shown people why he’s the reigning 2-time Sprint Cup champion. Enroute to his 4th win of the season and second in a row, Johnson let everyone know he was ready for the chase and ready to defend his title. Captain, as I will call him stole the show Sunday along with Crew chief Chad Knaus are proving to be a lethal combination.
How good is Johnson? Well he’s trying to do something that no other driver since Cale Yarborough has and that’s to win three Cup titles in a row. That would be an amazing feet to pull, seeing how tough the competition is these days in the Sprint Cup series. It hard to win races let alone title and Johnson has managed to do both. Johnson racked up his 37th career win on Sunday and he’s not done. Sunday after the race Johnson admitted that he and the 48 team have a lot of work to do. More work to do? That’s a scary though when many people already think the 48 team is on top of their game right now. Well we will see in the coming weeks how Captain Crunch and the 48 bunch comes out of the blocks next week when the NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup kicks off in Loudon New Hampshire.
