Any racing driver capable of winning consecutive titles deserves respect and joins a long list of greats - Loeb, Schumacher, Kristensen, to name but a few. Jimmie Johnson is the first driver in NASCAR history to win more than three consecutive titles with the record now standing at five with his wins stretching from 2006 to 2010. Now with his win in the Hendrick Motorsports no.48 car his title tally has taken him up to seven matching that of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.
Many fans throughout the season weren't backing Johnson to win, with plenty expressing their feelings to the driver on parade laps by showing him the middle finger. However, at the season finale at Homestead fans knew they were to witness history and showed the driver respect by holding up seven fingers in honour of his championship. In honour of that achievement, the picturesque sunset over the No.48 car deserves to adorn your desktop.
