Where does Jimmie Johnson fit in the history of NASCAR?
Hendrick: I don’t understand why Jimmie Johnson hasn’t gotten more credit than he has gotten for being one of the best that’s been in a car. If you look at the statistics of the races that’s he’s entered and his top-fives, top-10s and wins, I don’t think anybody has a better record than what he has had. I know in our camp we give them all the same equipment and he just seems to get better. People might not say it today but I think three or four years from now, and I think people are starting to see it and starting to appreciate the talent that he has. In a lot of cases they don’t talk about how good a guy is until he’s probably in the twilight of his career. I think if you ask the guys in the garage, the other drivers that drive against him, he’s pretty amazing and the combination of he and Chad makes it that much even better.
