NASCAR HISTORY QUESTION----?

May be...

Jimmie Johnson won his 3rd straight championship this year tying Cale Yarborough who accomplished the same feat in the 70's. So here is my question what do they have in common in accomplishing these feats? Here's a clue they have more than2 things in common. Dig deep in your history books---it's a somewhat easy question.

Jimmie Johnson’s past performances are close to Yarborough’s. From 2006 through 2007 Johnson won 15 races and had 48 finishes among the top 10. In 1976-77, Yarborough won 18 races and piled up 50 finishes among the top 10. In 2008 there numbers are again almost identical.

They both won 3 Championships in a row, exactly 30 years apart with Yarborough 76-78 and Jimmie 06-08.

They both are charge to the front type drivers

They both dominated NASCAR in thier Era's.

Besides the years matching (6, 7 & 8) I think it was 7 wins in the third championship year.

chevy and years ending 6, 7, and 8

There's no comparation, Cale Yarborough EARNED his championships but Jimmie Johnson bought his way into a ride and a championship.

Ya maggie beat everybody to it.

I am going to search but first I want to say HI to my old NASCAR Trivia friend!!!! Welcome back!!!

Championships match up 30 years apart. Cale's were '76, '77 and '78 and Jimmie's championships have been '06, '07 and, 08.
Confidence and dominance.???



P.S. and your trivia was never 'somewhat easy"...LOL
