Hell donny schatz couldn't even win 5 in a row! 
Outlaw deal is 60+ races and one bad race wont break yah |
Uh, one race can most definitely break you in either series.
I guess I'm thinking in terms of the driver himself and what he has had to do to accomplish winning multiple championships. My experience in running a sprint car is that it is damned hard on a guy. The constant work, work, more work, travel, research, management, etc. is just plain punishing. And, I'm sure the engineers, PR personnel, managers, and staff at Hendricks have it tough too, and with all the interviews that Jimmie must endure along with all of the commercial shoots, photo ops, personal appearances, etc. he's probably a pretty tuckered out little guy at the end of the day. Meanwhile, Steve Kinser has for thirty-two years been dripping in sweat and blood (never a tear), to squeeze a fraction of a second out of himself, his crew, and his equipment to win the championship TWENTY times. Again, no other NASCAR driver has accomplished what Mr. Johnson has, so yes, it is significant. I just wanted to put it into perspective (mine). It's "nice".
