The King, Richard Petty, narrates an essay that looks back at how Jimmie Johnson earned his shot at history and the importance of seven championships in NASCAR.
Not long after that video, we heard the words that would be forever etched in our minds. "Make room, Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt! There's another seven-time champ!"
Jimmy Johnson is 1 of 3 KINGS in the NASCAR WORLD!! If He wins an 8th Championship, He will B Honored, BY RICHARD PETTY, AS THE KING OF NASCAR!!!!! GO JOHNSON!!! GO #48!!! I'M ALL FOR IT!! I've watched NASCAR, Since it was called WINSTON CUP!!!! THAT'S A LLLOOONNNGGG TIME AGO!!
There is only one King of NASCAR and that title belongs to Richard Petty; however, once JJ win his 8th title (and he will) he will be known as NASCAR's GOAT (Greatest of all Times)
cute wolf no, petty set the first ever record... That’s like saying someone who came after Presley and Ozzie are the kings... it doesn’t work that way NORTH CAROLINA IS RACING
@@rcracer8872 Dale Earnhardt would stand no chance against Jimmie Johnson. JJ is easily the best driver in the history of NASCAR, and i am saying this as a Gordon fan.
Richard Petty said it best in the video, "in my day a driver had to maintain a certain level of greatness throughout the season. now there's a sprint to the finish, a driver has to be at his best for 10 weeks." If it weren't for the Chase, Jimmie would have 1-2 championships and Jeff Gordon would be the 3rd 7time champion
***** I agree Jon, thr competition today is awesome and nothing compared to when the King raced. My point is if there was a chase during Petty's time, I can pretty much guarantee he wouldn't have as many championships either
you do realize Johnson has won by the old points system also meaning season long. he has won championships in every format NASCAR has come up with except the current one. people need to stop making excuses or comparing him, and realize the greatness that he is as a race car driver. he is one of the all time greats to ever climb in a car and one day all his haters will realize that once he is gone
gman8825 I agree with the greatness aspect. but i have to correct you. He has only won in the Chase format his first Championship was in 06 the Chase format was Implemented in 2004 after Matt Kenseth destroyed the rest of the field and clinched the Chip before the season finale with only 1 win.
Richard Petty known as the King won his 200 races and 7 championships when the competition was not as good as these days, with a sponsored car (STP) driving 3-4 times a week, when NASCAR's rule and regulation manual was only a two page page, on the other hand JJ has driven under different formats, 5 different cars, with NASCAR's strict rules and regulations. JJ might win his 8th title and he will be known as NASCAR's GOAT, and probably somewhere will match his record; however, I do not think there will be no one who will break the 5 in a row championships .
Dude, The King is Richard Petty's NICKNAME!! Given to Him by other Drivers. Read my comment THOROUGHLY, U will then understand WHAT I SAID!! DO NOT DISREGARD DALE EARNHARDT SR. AS "NOT" BEING A KING OF RACING! THEY DIDN'T CALL HIM "THE INTIMIDATOR" FOR NOTHING!! THESE THREE MEN ARE THE BEST, NEVER MIND THAT DALE IS GONE, HOW GOOD ARE U AT SITTING IN A CAR GOING 200 MPH?????
Okay no 1. People are saying that competition wasn't as good back in the day but it was way better back then now it's just a bunch of wusses behind the wheel. No 2. Back in the day there was Darrel waltrip, Dale Earnhardt sr, Richard petty, Cale Yarborough, buddy baker, a j foyt, Michael waltrip, Jeff Gordon, rusty wallace, and many more amazing drivers twice as better as the ones now. No 3. All of Jimmie Johnson's championship are rigged. ARGUE, I DARE YOU.
Monty Johnson I'll argue. 2001 had the most winners in a season at 18 or 19. 1974 had only 5 winners. Back then it was common for people to lap the competition at least twice and win it like that. Now there's always at least 12 or so cars on the lead lap at all times.
I could listen to King Richard talk about nascar for hours
Lies again? Brazil Bananas Bang Bros
This guy won 5 championships in a row!!
This will never be repeated.
Richard Petty (The King)
Dale Earnhardt (The Intimidator)
Jimmie Johnson (Superman)
Superman or GOAT
I would remember these numbers:
3,43, and 48
Always. The Triumvirate
Well, Jimmie today tied The King's shared championship record with Dale Earnhardt.
10 years from his first championship

I Believe Jimmie Johnson can win 8th and be the best

Yeah, I hope they implemented the chase format like in 2011-2013 Season, but with slight modification like current season.
