Johnson Wins the Cup

Jimmie Johnson won his third straight Sprint Cup title on Sunday, tying Cale Yarborough for the most consecutive championships. Johnson needed to finish 36th or better to control his own destiny as far as clinching the championship was concerned. He finished 15th. Carl Edwards did everything he could possibly do to win the Cup, leading the most laps and winning the race, something he also did in the Nationwide race. Unfortunately for Edwards, he came away with no championship. Jimmie Johnson dominated the Chase once again, and proved that he is argubly one of NASCAR's greatest drivers. My congrats go out to him, as well as these drivers:

Clint Bowyer: Nationwide champ
Johnny Benson: Truck champ
Regan Smith: Cup Rookie of the Year
Landon Cassill: Nationwide Rookie of the Year
Colin Braun: Truck Rookie of the Year
