Championships (Consecutive and Total)

Much like with winning 200 career races, breaking the record for consecutive championships could only be done be a legendary talent. The current record is five consecutive titles and that is held by Jimmie Johnson. There have only been three drivers in the history of the sport to even win six titles much less six in a row.

The other side of this is a record that we could see broken in the next few years but if it’s not it might never be broken.

Johnson, Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt each have won seven NASCAR championships. Johnson currently is one away from breaking that tie and holding the record for the most championships in NASCAR history. At the age of 41 one would have to assume that Johnson will have at least four or five more chances to win that eighth title.

However, if Johnson is not able to topple the feat it’s hard to imagine any other driver coming along and winning eight championships.
