From 2006 to 2010, Jimmie Johnson (pictured in the 2008 vehicle) set a record by winning the Drivers' Championship five times in a row. In the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Drivers' Championship, ten drivers have won consecutive races. The most recent driver to do so is Carl Edwards, who won three straight from 2011 to 2013. In fact, no one has won more than two consecutive championships. Richard Petty is the only driver to win the championship in 1969 and 1970; Johnny Rutherford won in 1950 and 1951. Jimmie Johnson is the most successful driver in the modern era of NASCAR with six championships. He joined the elite group of multiple champion drivers along with Junior Johnson, Bill Elliott, Darrell Waltrip and Jeff Gordon. Johnson's five-year run from 2006 to 2010 is the longest streak of any driver in the modern era of NASCAR. He broke his own record in 2009 when he won four straight races. He also holds the record for most wins in a season with 18, which he accomplished in 2009. Jimmie Johnson has won at every race track on the circuit except for Martinsville Speedway where he's finished second three times. His favorite track is Daytona International Speedway, where he has eight victories.
