Three years later , he won the 60cc class championship , despite having an injured knee . Afterward , he moved to the Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group ( MTEG ) Stadium Racing Series where he won several more awards . In 1993 , Johnson was given the opportunity to drive for Herb Fishel . He refused the deal and continued racing buggies and trucks in off - road stadium and desert races . He also reported for ESPN in the Short Course Off - Road Drivers Association ( SODA ) . Three years later , Johnson drove for Herzog Motorsports in the off - road truck series in 1996 . By 1997 , Johnson had progressed to SODA 's Class 8 ; Class 8 is short - course off - road racing 's class of two - wheel - drive Trophy Trucks which generate about 800 horsepower . He battled Scott Taylor and Brendan Gaughan for the championship . That year , Johnson won both races at Lake Geneva Raceway 's first race weekend in May . He also won the season 's third event at Antigo before finishing second to Gaughan at Antigo 's second race . Johnson returned to Lake Geneva in July , winning the Saturday race and finished 2nd on the following day . Taylor ended up winning the championship with Gaughan second and Johnson third . During his time in the SODA , SCORE and MTEG series , he accumulated over 25 wins , 100 top - three finishes , six championships , and received Rookie of the Year honors in all three leagues . In 1998 , he began racing on asphalt ovals when he entered the American Speed Association ( ASA ) as well as part - time in the NASCAR Busch Series ( now Xfinity Series ) . In the same year , Johnson won the ASA Pat Schauer Memorial Rookie title . One year later , he had two wins and finished third in the standings . In 2000 , he was announced the driver for Herzog Motorsports in the Busch Series . During the season , he had a spectacular accident on lap 46 during the Lysol 200 at Watkins Glen when his brakes failed entering the first turn . He had to swerve quickly to the right to avoid the 86 of Dennis Demers , but went into the grass on the inside of turn one , then went back across the track , caught some air on the gravel trap before finally crashing head - on into the carafoam barriers at the far end of the turn while still more than 150 + MPH . Many feared that this accident could have resulted in career ending injuries or potentially have killed him , but he climbed out of the car unscathed and raised his fists in the air like he 'd won the race , much to the delight of the crowd . Otherwise , in a rather uneventful season which featured one DNQ at Daytona and 6 top - 10 's , he finished tenth in the point standings . During the 2001 season , Johnson recorded one win , which was at Chicagoland Speedway , and finished eighth in the point standings . He also began racing in the Winston Cup Series ( now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series ) for Hendrick Motorsports . In the following season , Johnson left Herzog Motorsports to move to Hendrick Motorsports in the Winston Cup Series , driving the No. 48 Lowe 's Chevrolet . Monster Energy Cup Series ( edit ) 2002 -- 05 ( edit ) Johnson began racing full - time in the Winston Cup Series during the 2002 season . He earned his first career pole position for the Daytona 500 , becoming the second rookie to do so ( the first was Loy Allen Jr. in 1994 ) . In his 13th career start , Johnson scored his first career win in the NAPA Auto Parts 500 at Auto Club Speedway . Johnson became the first rookie driver to lead the point standings and to win twice at the same track during a season , by sweeping both races at Dover . He recorded four pole positions and three wins ( tying the rookie record set by Tony Stewart in 1999 ) , as well as six top fives and twenty - one top ten finishes . He finished fifth in the final point standings . During 2003 , Johnson finished ninth on the all - time list for consecutive weeks ranked in the top ten in points with 69 . He won three races ( Coca - Cola 600 at Charlotte and both New Hampshire races ) , two poles ( at Kansas Speedway and Pocono Raceway ) , fourteen top fives , and twenty top ten finishes . He also was able to win the All - Star race for the first time , as well as finishing second with just 90 points behind Matt Kenseth and 207 ahead of his future teammate Dale Earnhardt , Jr . Johnson qualifying at Auto Club Speedway in 2005 . In 2004 , Johnson started slowly at Rockingham Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway with results of 41st and 16th , after a top ten finish in the Daytona 500 . However , he quickly was able to rebound winning the Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 at Darlington Raceway . Subsequent victories in the Coca - Cola 600 , the Pocono 500 , and the Pennsylvania 500 came in the middle of the season , seeing Johnson sweep the Pocono races . However , finishes of 37th and 32nd at Talladega Superspeedway and Kansas moved him toward the bottom of the point standings . Afterward , he was able to win the UAW - GM Quality 500 at Lowe 's Motor Speedway . The second victory of the 2004 Chase for the Nextel Cup , at the Subway 500 at Martinsville on October 24 , 2004 , was marred by tragedy . Owner Rick Hendrick 's son Ricky , twin nieces , brother , and chief engine builder Randy Dorton as well as Joe Turner , Scott Lathram were killed in an airplane crash en route to the race . All eight passengers and both pilots died in the incident , and Johnson was told after completion of the race . Johnson had a total of eight wins , 20 top five and 23 top ten finishes . At the end of the season , Johnson finished second in the point standings . In 2005 , Johnson won at Las Vegas , Lowe 's Motor Speedway , Dover International Speedway , and then again at Lowe 's . In total , Johnson had four consecutive wins at his sponsor ( Lowe 's ) sponsored track in Charlotte , North Carolina . Johnson had a chance to win the championship coming into the November 20 season finale at Homestead - Miami Speedway , but finished 5th in points after crashing at the midway point of the event with a tire problem . He scored 13 top - fives , 22 top - 10 finishes , and one pole position . 2006 -- 2010 : championship streak ( edit ) 2006 ( edit ) In 2006 , Johnson began the season by winning the Daytona 500 . He finished second in the next race at California Speedway and won the UAW - DaimlerChrysler 400 at Las Vegas . Johnson won his third race of the season in the Aaron 's 499 at Talladega , followed by two more victories at Indianapolis and Martinsville Throughout the season , he became the only modern era driver to win at least three races in each of his first five seasons . At the end of the season , he recorded one pole , 13 top fives , 24 top tens , and his first championship title ( this was also the first in his NASCAR career ) . In December , Johnson won the 2006 Driver of the Year Award . 2007 ( edit ) During the 2007 season , Johnson continued on a streak and recorded 10 wins , four poles , 20 top fives , and again 24 top ten finishes . Those 10 wins included sweeping both races at Richmond , Atlanta , and Martinsville . He also won at Las Vegas , Auto Club , Texas , and Phoenix . Afterwards , he won his second consecutive championship title and was named the 2007 Driver of the Year . Johnson also had the best average finish in the Chase with 5.0 . At the end of the season , he had a total of 33 career wins , placing him 18th on the all - time wins list . In December 2007 , Johnson commenced a program of exercise sessions and a run schedule supervised by John Sitaras , in order to balance his strength . Sitaras ' initial assessment found that half of his body was much tighter , having acclimated to offsetting the g - force load from turning left while driving . In two years , Johnson 's body fat percentage dropped from 20 % to 8 % ( visible also in the change of the shape of his face ) , while his strength and stamina greatly improved . Johnson later became the first racing driver to be named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year ( in 2009 ) . 2008 ( edit ) Jimmie Johnson racing in the 2008 Daytona 500 After the 2008 season , Johnson became the second driver to win three consecutive NASCAR Cup Series championships , the first being Cale Yarborough . During the season , he managed to win seven races ( including a sweep at Phoenix ) , a career high of six poles , 15 top fives , and 22 top tens . In five of those seven wins , he started from the pole . He became the only driver to record three wins in each of their first seven seasons . In the Chase for the Championship , he recorded 14 wins , eight more than any other driver . He also was named the 2008 Driver of the Year and won an ESPY as the Best Driver . After the season , he also moved to third on the active winners list . 2009 ( edit ) In the 2009 season , Johnson recorded his fourth consecutive championship , becoming the only driver to win four back - to - back season titles . Throughout this season , he won seven races ( including a third consecutive Checker Auto Parts 500 and both Dover races ) , four poles , 16 top fives , and 24 top ten finishes . Johnson now became the only driver to win at least three races in each of his first eight seasons , as well as the only driver to qualify for the Chase for the Championship every year since 2004 . During the season , he moved up one spot up to second on the active winners list and went to 13th on the all - time wins list . After the season concluded , he won an ESPY for the second consecutive year , and won the Driver of the Year award for the third time , tying Jeff Gordon , Mario Andretti , and Darrell Waltrip as the only three time drivers to win the award . During 2010 , Johnson managed to win his fifth consecutive championship , becoming the third driver who made up points to win the title since 1975 . During the season , he scored two poles , 17 top fives , 23 top tens and six victories . He also remained the only driver to qualify for the Chase every year since its inception in 2004 . He became the 12th , and currently the last driver , to win 50 + NASCAR races when he won at Bristol in March , and went up to 10th on the all - time wins list . Johnson was also named Driver of the Year for the fourth time in his career , joining Gordon as the only drivers to win the award that many times . He also managed to win Tony Stewart 's charity race , the Prelude to the Dream , his first victory on a dirt oval . 2011 ( edit ) Johnson ( No. 5 ) and Jeff Gordon during the 2011 All - Star Race In 2011 , Johnson began the season with a fourth - place finish in the Budweiser Shootout , after starting from the 23rd position . One week later in the 2011 Daytona 500 , he started 23rd , but finished 27th after being involved in a crash on lap 29 . During the Subway Fresh Fit 500 , he managed a third - place finish . Following a 16th - place finish after the Kobalt Tools 400 he collected two consecutive top - five finishes . Statistically , Johnson 's 2011 season was his second worst performance to date , even though he finished sixth in the points . He only won two races during the season . The first was the Aaron 's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway , where Johnson started on the outside pole , and tandem - drafted with Dale Earnhardt , Jr. for the entire race . On the last lap , with Johnson in front , he and Earnhardt , Jr. were in fifth and sixth off of turn 4 , behind two other pairs of cars - their Hendrick teammates Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin , and the Richard Childress drafting pair of Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick . In the tri-oval , Earnhardt , Jr. gave Johnson enough of a push to nip Bowyer at the finish line by 0.002 seconds . This was the closest recorded finish in Talladega history , and tied the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 for closest margin of victory in NASCAR history . After finishing in the first 15 positions in the next four races , Johnson failed to finish the Coca - Cola 600 after his engine failed . The next week , in the Heluva Good ! Sour Cream Dips 400 , Johnson spun off turn two , flattening multiple tires , and breaking the sway bar which prompted him to a finish of 27th . During the Toyota / Save Mart 350 , Johnson finished seventh after starting 12th on the grid . The finish moved Johnson to third in the Drivers ' standings . After returning to Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero 400 , Johnson and Earnhardt , Jr. ran together for most of the race , like at Talladega , until Johnson pitted under a caution flag . Johnson fell down the grid and was involved in a last lap accident , prompting him to finish 20th . During the next two races , Johnson finished third and fifth in the Quaker State 400 and the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 . Two weeks later , Johnson found himself finishing 19th during the Brickyard 400 after coming to pit road with 30 laps remaining in the event . Johnson finished fourth in the Good Sam RV Insurance 500 , after bumping Kurt Busch on the final lap . In the next race , Johnson managed to finish tenth . Johnson finished in the top - five in the following three races . During the last race of the regular season , the Wonderful Pistachios 400 , Johnson finished in the 31st position . While at Chicagoland Speedway for the GEICO 400 , Johnson finished 10th . Afterward , Johnson managed to finish 18th in the Sylvania 300 , then second in the AAA 400 . One week later , Johnson recorded his second victory of the season in the Hollywood Casino 400 . During the Bank of America 500 , Johnson was involved in a crash and finished 34th . In the following race , Johnson finished second . For the next two races , Johnson finished 14th in each , and finished 32nd in the Ford 400 to finish sixth in the Driver 's championship standings . The third NASCAR Championship for Tony Stewart marked the first time since 2005 that someone other than Johnson was the champion . 2012 ( edit ) Johnson began the 2012 season with a 14th - place finish in the Budweiser Shootout after crashing on lap 74 . During the Daytona 500 , Johnson was involved in a crash on lap 2 when he turned into the wall after contact from Elliott Sadler , then was t - boned by David Ragan , also collecting Danica Patrick , Kurt Busch and Trevor Bayne . Damage to the car was severe , prompting him to retire and finish 42nd . Afterward , he finished fourth and second in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 and Kobalt Tools 400 . While at Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 500 , Johnson finished in the ninth position , moving him up to 11th in the Drivers ' Standings . Next , Johnson finished tenth in the Auto Club 400 , despite having an oil leak , but the rain saved Johnson from a low finish . He went on to finish twelfth during the spring event at Martinsville after being involved in a crash on the first green - white - checker attempt . In the following event , the Samsung Mobile 500 , Johnson finished second after leading much of the race before he was passed by Greg Biffle . Afterward , he recorded a third - place finish in the STP 400 at Kansas on April 22 , 2012 , and a sixth - place finish in the Capital City 400 at Richmond one week later . On May 6 , 2012 , Johnson started 19th in the Aaron 's 499 at Talladega , but finished 35th after his engine failed on lap 110 . Johnson pits his car in 2012 Johnson won his first race of the season one week later in the Bojangles ' Southern 500 at Darlington . The win was also Rick Hendrick 's 200th NASCAR Cup Series win . A week later , he matched Gordon and Dale Earnhardt with three wins in the NASCAR Sprint All - Star Race after winning the 2012 NASCAR Sprint All - Star Race . Next , in the Coca - Cola 600 , Johnson finished 11th in the race after a penalty on lap 354 . After the Coca - Cola 600 , Johnson went on to win his second race of the season in the FedEx 400 . In the Pocono 400 , he recorded a fourth - place finish after starting 24th on the grid . During the next two races , Johnson placed fifth , moving him to fourth in the standings . Afterward , Johnson finished sixth after winning his first pole position of the season in the Quaker State 400 . However , in the Coke Zero 400 , Johnson finished 36th after retiring from a crash on lap 124 . After finishing seventh during the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 , Johnson recorded his third victory of the season and his fourth career win at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway , tying Jeff Gordon for what was the record for the most wins in the Brickyard 400 . After making the NASCAR Chase for the Championship , Johnson secured three straight top five finishes in the GEICO 400 , Sylvania 300 and AAA 400 . Following a seventeenth - place finish in Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 , Johnson recorded four top - ten finishes , including two consecutive wins from the pole position at Martinsville and Texas , which was his sixtieth win in the series , to take a seven - point lead over Brad Keselowski . At Phoenix , Johnson blew a right front tire , which caused him to collide into the wall and finish in the 32nd position . He was racing for the win and the championship the following week at Homestead , but his chances of winning the championship was over after he had a pit road penalty and had a gear failure and he finished 36th in that race , and finished third in the Drivers Championship behind Keselowski and Bowyer . 2013 : return to championship form ( edit ) Johnson racing during the 2013 STP Gas Booster 500 Johnson during practice for the 2013 NRA 500 In 2013 , Johnson began his season with a 14th - place finish in the 2013 Sprint Unlimited when he crashed on lap 14 along with Kyle Busch , Kurt Busch , Mark Martin , Jeff Gordon , and Denny Hamlin . Afterward , he placed fourth in the first Budweiser Duel , resulting in a ninth - place starting position in the 2013 Daytona 500 . In the Daytona 500 , Johnson started well , assuming the lead from Jeff Gordon on lap 33 and leading a handful of laps before falling back to the middle of the pack . Over the last few laps , Johnson was racing alongside Brad Keselowski for the lead until a caution came out for debris . Johnson took the advantage of leading on the last restart . With five laps to go , Johnson led a lane with Greg Biffle and Danica Patrick . He then held off a last lap charge from Dale Earnhardt , Jr. and Mark Martin to win his second Daytona 500 . This was Johnson 's first Daytona 500 win with regular crew chief Chad Knaus , as he won the 2006 race with Darian Grubb as Knaus was serving a five - race suspension . It was also the first time since his 2006 win that he finished better than 27th in the Daytona 500 , after a streak of six years where he had never finished better than 27th because of crashes and mechanical failures . The following week at Phoenix , Johnson started inside the top ten and finished second behind Carl Edwards . He followed this with a sixth - place finish at Las Vegas . At Bristol , he was running on the lead lap until a spin late race forced him back to a 22nd - place finish . At Fontana , he struggled for most of the race , racing near the back of the pack , but managed to salvage a 12th - place finish . Johnson won his first pole position of the season at Martinsville and had the dominant car , leading 346 of 500 laps on the way to his eighth Martinsville race win . Johnson also assumed the point lead as well , which he would hold on to for the remainder of the regular season . Johnson 's consistency was enough that there were points in the summer where he was more than a full two race wins ' worth of points ahead of Carl Edwards or Clint Bowyer . Afterward , Johnson finished sixth at Texas . At Kansas , he led nine laps and finished third behind Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne . Johnson finished 12th the following week at Richmond , allowing him to build even further on his point lead . At Talladega , he was the only driver besides Matt Kenseth to lead double digit laps ( 16 ) , and finished in fifth place . A fourth - place finish the following week at Darlington allowed Johnson to further solidify his point lead over Edwards . In the 2013 NASCAR Sprint All - Star Race , Johnson won his record fourth All - Star race after a fast pit stop allowed him to start the final 10 - lap sprint in second , and later managed to pass Kasey Kahne for the victory . One week later , Johnson finished 22nd after spinning sideways late in the race . At Dover , Johnson led 143 laps , but finished 17th when he jumped Juan Pablo Montoya on the last restart causing NASCAR to issue him a penalty . He was able to redeem himself for this mistake the following week at Pocono by earning the pole position , leading the most laps , and winning his third race of the season , which increased his point lead to 51 points over Edwards . This also snapped a nine - year winless streak for Johnson at Pocono since sweeping both of the track 's 2004 NASCAR Cup Series races . At the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan , Johnson closed in on Greg Biffle for the lead with less than ten laps left , but suffered a flat tire with less than five laps to go . Johnson would finish the race in 28th , his worst finish of the season to that point . Johnson then finished ninth at Sonoma . At Kentucky , Johnson started third . He had the dominant car of the race , leading 182 of 267 laps . However , on a restart on lap 246 , Johnson was slow to get up to speed and was subsequently touched and spun by Joey Logano , costing Johnson a shot at the win and giving the race to Matt Kenseth . Johnson was able to charge through the field after the caution and restart to salvage a ninth - place finish . Returning to Daytona for the Coke Zero 400 , Johnson led 94 laps and held off Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick on a green - white - checker finish to win his fourth race of the year . In winning the race , Johnson became the first driver since Bobby Allison in 1982 to sweep both Daytona races in a season . This was a significant improvement in Johnson 's runs on the restrictor plate tracks , as he had been crashed out of the running at both Daytona races in 2012 , had an engine failure early while leading at Talladega in the spring and was part of a crash on the last lap in the fall . Also , he was one of only three drivers to sweep the top ten , the other two drivers being Ryan Newman and Dale Earnhardt , Jr . At New Hampshire for the Camping World RV Sales 301 , Johnson qualified second , but failed post-qualifying inspection after his car was found to be too low , and started the race in 43rd , the first time in his career he started dead last . In the race , Johnson passed seven cars in the first four laps and reached the Top 20 by lap 50 , while reaching the top ten by lap 165 ; Johnson would finish sixth . He almost won the pole position at Indianapolis but was bumped to second by Ryan Newman . Johnson led the most laps and almost won , but a slow final pit stop cost him the race to Newman . The following week at Pocono , Johnson won another pole position , setting another track qualifying record . He led 43 of the first 80 laps before he cut a right front tire that knocked a spark plug loose and affected the handling of the car . Johnson 's pit crew worked hard to repair the car , fixing the plug on the last pit stop , and managing to salvage a 13th - place finish after racing near the back of the pack for most of the race . Returning to Michigan , Johnson qualified third but crashed in happy hour , forcing him to a backup car and a 43rd starting spot . After running up to the lead through pit stop strategy , Johnson lost an engine on lap 55 , relegating him to a 40th - place finish . This was followed by a streak of three poor finishes of 36th at Bristol , 28th at Atlanta , and 40th at Richmond due to crashes and mechanical failures . Johnson started the Chase seeded in second place . He started the Chase with a fifth - place finish at Chicago , followed by a fourth - place finish at New Hampshire . At Dover , Johnson led 243 laps and held off Dale Earnhardt , Jr. over the last 25 laps to win his eighth race at the track , also redeeming himself for the restart line violation that had cost him a shot at winning the June race . Johnson spent the next several races chasing Matt Kenseth for the points lead , eventually gaining it at Talladega , though losing it when he and Kenseth tied for points lead at Martinsville . Returning to Texas , Johnson had the dominant car , leading 255 laps to his sixth win of the season . The following weekend at Phoenix , Johnson avoided trouble in tight racing on two separate occasions ( a near scrape in turn 4 on the first lap , and later a near spin after contact with Carl Edwards in turn 1 ) to escape with a third - place finish . He also capitalized on Kenseth suffering from a poor - handling car . With Kenseth finishing 23rd , Johnson took a 28 - point lead to the season finale at Homestead - Miami Speedway . In the finale , Johnson raced conservatively to a ninth - place finish to secure his sixth title . He closed out the season with six wins , three poles , 16 top five and 24 top ten finishes , with an average finish of 9.8 and average start of 10.7 . 2014 ( edit ) Statistically , 2014 was Johnson 's worst season to date . He started the season on an up - and - down note , but went winless through the first 11 races of the 2014 season ( his best finish was 2nd at Martinsville ) . Skepticism began to arise , as he had never gone more than 12 races into a season without a win , and had n't gone that long since the first few years of his Cup career . However , Johnson won the Coca - Cola 600 , his first win in the race since 2005 . Afterward , he went on to win at Dover the following week , making it the 13th time he had back - to - back wins . A few weeks later , Johnson recorded his first win at Michigan , after several years of being deprived of a shot at victory as the result of running out of gas or blowing an engine . However , he did n't keep up with the momentum . After finishing in the top ten at Sonoma and Kentucky , Johnson was collected in an early wreck in the Coke Zero 400 , finishing 42nd . Johnson 's streak of misfortune continued the next several weeks , finishing 42nd for the second week in a row at New Hampshire . This was followed up by an inconsistent run at Indy ( 14th ) , and poor showings resulting from accidents at Pocono ( 39th ) and Watkins Glen ( 28th ) . Despite the poor finishes , Johnson qualified fourth for the Chase . In the Chase , Johnson finished 12th at Chicagoland , fifth at New Hampshire , and third at Dover to advance to the Contender Round . However , trouble struck when he finished 40th and 17th in the next two races . At Talladega , Johnson started second and he led a high of 84 laps . However , a 24th - place finish kept him from advancing to the Eliminator Round . At Martinsville , Johnson started seventh but finished 39th after being involved in a crash early in the race . Returning to Texas , Johnson dominated and held off Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick to score his third straight win in the fall Texas race , and also ended an 18 - race - winless - streak . At Phoenix , he struggled for most of the day and finished 38th after blowing a tire and crashing out . At the season finale at Homestead , Johnson finished ninth , and closed out finishing 11th in points . This marks the first time in Johnson 's NASCAR Cup career that he has finished outside of the top ten in the final points . 2015 ( edit ) Johnson leading the 2015 Daytona 500 . Johnson began his season with a win in the Budweiser Duel . He started the season by finishing fifth in the Daytona 500 for the second year in a row . The following week , he won the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta . At Las Vegas , Johnson crashed twice into the outside wall , leaving him with a 41st - place finish . He managed to rebound with an 11th - place finish in Phoenix and a ninth - place finish at California , his first top ten there in two years . At Martinsville , he struggled to a 35th - place finish . However , his momentum returned at Texas when he managed to hold off Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt , Jr. to win . At Bristol , he avoided tight trouble early in the race and managed to come home second to polesitter Matt Kenseth . At Richmond , he finished third . These finishes moved him back up to fourth in the standings . At Talladega , Johnson started fifth and led 50 laps , only to finish second to Earnhardt , Jr . At Kansas , Johnson gambled by staying out on the last round of pit stops , and held off Harvick and Earnhardt again to win his third race at Kansas and of the season . In winning , he established a Cup record of 23 wins on 1.5 - mile tracks , taking what was both his 200th top five and his 300th top ten finish . At Charlotte , he spun out on two occasions . The first time was early in the race while running 16th coming out of turn 4 but he was lucky to avoid hitting anything . He was n't so lucky on the second spin late in the race ; while running fifth , he spun out again at exactly the same place , and hit the wall in pit road , causing some nose damage . Those spin - outs would leave him with a 40th - place finish . He rebounded the following week with a win at Dover , and also became one of four drivers to have won 10 or more races at one track . This gave him a total of 74 career wins , two fewer than Dale Earnhardt 's 76 . At Pocono , Johnson cut a tire on lap 88 , but did not take major damage . He was able to work his way through the field to finish in third place . He finished 19th at Michigan after the race was called for rain on lap 138 . At Sonoma , Johnson led the most laps at 45 laps , but a late race caution caused by Casey Mears ' broken wheel axle cost him , and he was passed by Kyle Busch with five laps to go , and slipped back to sixth place . Johnson during 2015 Toyota / Save Mart 350 qualifying Returning to Daytona , Johnson started 12th and led 35 laps before finishing second to Dale Earnhardt , Jr. , in a repeat of the Talladega race . At Kentucky , Johnson started sixth and ran inside the top ten for most of the night , finishing ninth . At the second stop in Pocono , Johnson , along with two of his Hendrick teammates , Jeff Gordon , and Dale Earnhardt , Jr , took advantage of several cars running out of fuel to finish in the Top 6 ( Gordon finished 3rd , Dale Jr. took 4th , Johnson grabbed 6th ) . At Watkins Glen , despite suffering two penalties ( lap 3 : Overshooting the entrance to the inner loop , and caution No. 1 ( lap 26 - 28 ) : Speeding through pit road ) Johnson rallied to finish 10th . He was n't so lucky at Michigan ; late in the race , he got loose and spun in turn 3 , and damaged the splitter on his car , resulting in a 39th - place finish ( 10 laps down ) . He rebounded at Bristol by finishing 4th , but had bad luck once more at Darlington . He spun out on lap 134 in turn 4 , bringing out the 7th caution , and was never a real threat . He ended up 19th . He was able to recover a bit for a 9th - place finish at Richmond , and started 1st in the Chase in a three - way - tie between him , Kyle Busch , and Matt Kenseth . Johnson opened up the Chase in a rough way . At Chicagoland , he blew a left front tire early in the race , but was able to charge through the field to salvage an 11th - place finish . He also was the subject of controversy when he made contact with Kevin Harvick on a three - wide pass that led to Harvick cutting a left rear tire , leaving Harvick with a 42nd - place finish . At Loudon , Johnson finished 6th after blowing a tire in the 3rd position . At Dover , his Chase hopes came to an end when his car broke a drive line , leading him to finish 36 laps down in 41st place . At the fall race at Texas Johnson won , passing Brad Keselowski with 4 laps to go . This marked his fourth consecutive win in the fall race , and third consecutive win on that track , having also won the spring race . That victory also marked the 75th of his NASCAR Cup Series career , putting him one race win short of tying Dale Earnhardt 's career wins . Also in the process , he snapped a 20 - race - winless - streak . Johnson finished 5th at Phoenix , and for the third year in a row , he finished 9th at Homestead . Also in the process , he edged out Ryan Newman by 1 point to finish 10th in the final standings . With the retirement of his teammate and mentor , Jeff Gordon , Johnson assumed the active wins record with 75 . 2016 : the seventh title ( edit ) Johnson began the 2016 season with a 16th - place finish at the Daytona 500 . In the next race at Atlanta Motor Speedway , he won his 1st race of the season and the 76th of his career , tying Dale Earnhardt for seventh on the all - time wins list . Johnson finished third and eleventh in the next two events of the season at Las Vegas and Phoenix . His second victory of the season came in the fifth race , the Auto Club 400 , where Johnson passed Harvick in an overtime finish . It was also the first time since 2011 that he finished in the top five at the Auto Club Speedway . In the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway , Johnson recorded a 9th - place finish after moving through the field after qualifying 24th . One week later , Johnson finished fourth in the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway despite suffering minor damage during a 13 - car accident that occurred within 50 laps of the finish .

At Talladega , Johnson was spun by Paul Menard and got involved in a multi-car accident with 28 laps to go , finishing 22nd . Johnson 's streak of misfortune continued through the next several months , crashing out at Dover , Pocono , Daytona , Kentucky and at Watkins Glen , where he finished last for the first time in his career . His top - 10 finishes during the period came only in the Coca - Cola 600 and Brickyard 400 , where he finished 3rd in both races . Johnson finished 7th and 6th at Bristol and Michigan the following two weeks , but finished 33rd at Darlington after he spun out of turn 4 . Johnson then finished 11th at Richmond . He qualified 8th for the Chase . Johnson began the Chase for the Championship by leading a race - high 118 laps at Chicagoland , but received a speeding penalty during a green flag pit stop late in the race , ultimately finished 12th .

He would charge through the field and finish 7th ( 1st car a lap down ) . He was able to move to the `` Round of 12 '' of the Chase . At Charlotte , Johnson led a race - high 155 laps and won the Bank of America 500 , claiming his 8th win at the track and the 3rd win of the season , also snapping his 24 - race winless streak . This marked Johnson 's first appearance in the `` Round of 8 '' under the current Chase system . He then finished 4th at Kansas and 23rd at Talladega . At Martinsville , Johnson had contact with Denny Hamlin on lap 198 and had a tire rub to cause a caution but was able to stay on the lead lap . Later during a caution on lap 362 , he lost fuel pressure but was able to get the car refired and stayed on the lead lap again . After the restart , he took the lead from Hamlin and led the final 92 laps to win the Goody 's Fast Relief 500 . This locked him into the Championship 4 for the final race at Homestead . Johnson finished 11th in the rain - shortened race at Texas , and 38th at Phoenix after being penalized a lap for passing the pace car coming down to pit road and involved in a wreck on a restart .
