Featured on Bleacher Report

Race fans … I am growing tired of all the uninformed Jimmie Johnson fans in this world that go around “proclaiming his greatness” and comparing Johnson with our “true champions” of the past, especially Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, Sr. If we examine the facts it becomes vividly clear that Johnson is floating around the fourteenth spot “on the all-time great chart” at best. In our quest for the truth, let’s look at modern day NASCAR and its “super-team” structure. Give us your opinion! Email us at racing@motorsportamerica.com Remarks will be posted with article.
