Winning back-to-back championships is a rare feat in NASCAR these days. Many fans and analysts perceived three consecutive championships in today’s NASCAR as virtually impossible to accomplish. Cale Yarborough won three championships in a row in 1976, 1977, and 1978. Even prior to his championship seasons, he was winning, and winning often. How would a fourth consecutive championship affect the sport of NASCAR?
Jimmie Johnson does not receive the media attention that other drivers such as Dale Earnhardt Jr, Tony Stewart, or even Jeff Gordon demand. Johnson is regarded as one of the good guys. Having a nice guy image does not take away on track achievements. Johnson is still NASCAR’s top driver at the moment. Jimmie Johnson is not the only nice guy in NASCAR that is sometimes disregarded. Kenseth opened the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season with wins at Daytona and California, yet he is not ‘The Story’ in NASCAR.
As the sport grew, drivers continued to race their own cars; however, drivers began to accept rides with established teams owned by former drivers or businessmen.
Michael Waltrip Racing became one of Toyota’s flagship teams. That is rare in driver/owner situations, but Waltrip’s no ordinary driver. Tony Stewart, the two-time champion, joined the ranks of driver/owners. He acquired fifty percent ownership in what is now Stewart Haas Racing, formerly Haas CNC Racing. Harvick also owns a Camping World Truck Series team.
Sports-themed bachelor parties have become quite popular and can easily involve not only the groomsmen but a large number of male friends as well. For those in a cold, wintry climate, ski parties are lots of fun. (If you’re planning on a country club party, it helps to know a member.) Follow the game with a pizza and beer party.
