In what was a smart strategy, Jimmie Johnson took his second consecutive Nextel Cup championship to finish off an impressive run in the last ten races. His team proved once again that they are the class of the field and performed the best when the pressure was on. Although he finished seventh in the race, this race fan is convinced that he could have easily pressed for the victory but was smart and took the conservative approach to the championship.
Matt Kenseth did a stellar job and lead the majority of the race in taking his second victory of the year and first since February. Jeff Gordon just did not have enough to challenge Johnson in the last five races to "The Cup" but finished a strong second in the points. The Hendrick race organization once again has shown it's dominance at the highest level of the sport as they continue to be a cut above the competition.
I am not a Johnson or a Gordon fan but you have to tip your hat to them for what they have accomplished. They are always humble in victory and give thanks to all the people that work hard to put them into a position to win. In what was an eventful season let us say congratulations to Jimmie Johnson and Hendrick Motor Sports and look forward to a more competitive season in 2008.
Jimmie Johnson
