Jimmie Johnson: Five-time champ

A five-time Sprint Cup champion is what Jimmie Johnson can now call himself.

Johnson, the driver who has been dominating the sport of Nascar since 2005, was looking to add his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup championship today.

The goal of winning the fifth title was not easy because Johnson was 15 points behind Danny Hamlin in the points leader board of the Sprint Cup chase.

Not only did Johnson have to leap over Hamlin for the first place finish but he also had to worry about Kevin Harvick, who was not far behind in third place in points.

The finale of the 2010 Nascar season was coming to a close in Homestead, Florida, where the three drivers looked to win the title for themselves.

Johnson qualified to start the race in the top ten, and the other two drivers started lower.

Hamlin was far behind in the back of the pack, where he had to fight his way through the traffic and reach the front of the pack.

Unfortunately as the laps started to add up, Hamlin ran into Greg Biffle on a lap after 20 laps were completed.

Hamlin's car suffered some damage that would result in him not recovering from and being the deciding factor for him to lose his chance to win the Sprint Cup.

As for Harvick, he battled along side Johnson midway through the race for forth place and looked to have a great chance to win the title.

But near the end of the race, Harvick was penalized for speeding out of the pitstop.

Harvick finished third behind Johnson but that was not enough for Harvick to win the title.

Johnson finished the race second behind Carl Edwards and that was enough for Johnson to win his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup title.

Johnson can surely secure his name in Nascar history as one of the greatest drivers to dominate the sport.

Johnson proved champions know how to win when pressure is breathing down their neck.
