How many Nascar races did Jimmie Johnson win in 2007?

Jimmie Johnson has won once at Bristol. Jimmie Johnson is not as good at short tracks as he is at long tracks. He has finished in the top 5 at Bristol 6 times and 11 times in the top 10. He is the best stock car driver in the world and I definitely have to say he is phenomenal in Nascar. He is the one that makes Nascar so good. If he wasn't racing, there wouldn't be history with 5 championships in a row.


Does Jeff Gordon own Jimmie Johnson's race team?

I believe Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson were better friends earlier in Jimmie's career. Jeff did encourage Jimmie to start driving full time in the Nascar Cup Series back in 2002 and is also a co-owner of the #48 car, along with Rick Hendrick. But as time passes and Jimmie keeps on winning more races and championships, you're starting to see Jeff's frustration mount more and more.
