NASCAR Sprint Cup: Power Ranking Jimmie Johnson's Title-Winning Seasons

Jimmie Johnson is a six-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion.


You’ll find a good amount of people who consider him the greatest driver to ever get behind the wheel of a race car, and he remains just one championship away from tying immortals Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt for the most titles in NASCAR history.


Johnson came up well short of that goal in 2014. He struggled to find consistency from week to week and was eliminated from championship contention with four races remaining in the Chase.


Despite a season that was underwhelming—only by his unbelievably high standards—Johnson remains one of the favorites to lift the Sprint Cup trophy again in 2015 and write another chapter in his legendary career.


Before the season begins, let’s take a look at and rank each of Johnson’s six titles, including his historic run of five straight between 2006-2010.


They're ranked based on their significance to the sport and to the driver.
