Breaking Down Hendrick Motorsports
By Katie Copple
Jimmie Johnson (2002-present): Being compared to Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, Jimmie Johnson is one of Hendrick Motorsports most decorated drivers. Making history by winning five straight Championships from 2006-2010, Johnson once again claimed his place at the head table by winning his sixth title in 2013. Brought in to HMS by Jeff Gordon, Johnson made headlines early by becoming the first Rookie to ever lead the points standings and had three wins in his first season. Johnson has a total of 66 wins, four All-Star Race wins, two Daytona 500 wins and six Championships during his time at HMS.
