FalconbIaze77 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 :P I know we would have 10 threads on this if it was jeff g or dale jr..Absolutely he is one of the best - one of the great claims by the Earnhardt lovers is that he is better than Petty because he did it when the field was level - Well Jimmie did it when the field was level and during a car change, I would say it's the greatest 3 year run in NASCAR history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Well I will give him credit. But it takes an awful lot of luck to do what he's been able to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 JJ is one of the best drivers, but he's not that much better than any of the top guys. Make no mistake, the Lowes 48 has won 3 titles because of Chad Knaus and a great, stable team of builders and engineers. Johnson deserves credit, but with that team, there are several drivers who would've won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCFalconfan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 In his era, you can't deny that Johnson should be ranked with the best. That said, NASCAR's technology has changed greatly over the years and drivers owe a TON of their success in today's NASCAR to their engineers. Jimmy is a smooth and smart driver no doubt, but do I think he could have done the same thing in the 1970's or the 80's? Tough to say. I will say that Chad Knaus is one of the smartest minds in racing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pit&atlfan81 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 What JJ has done is truly remarkable. But he is still not on the level of Earnhardt (RIP), Pearson, and even his boss. Now, if he wins one more, which would give him 4, then he'll start to be on their level. And Chad Knaus is one smart mother ****er! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
