Jimmie Johnson crushed the competition for DRIVER OF THE YEAR – 2007, much like he trampled his rivals on the way to his second-straight NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Championship.

It was also Johnson’s second-consecutive title in the United States most prestigious award in auto racing because the voting is done by an elite panel of journalists and broadcasters from coast-to-coast. The California-born driver becomes only the third driver to achieve this honor after Darrell Waltrip (1981-1982) and teammate, Jeff Gordon (1997-1998)

“I am truly humbled to be honored as Driver of the Year. I appreciate this award and the recognition from the press,” said Johnson. He added “they watch every race and for them to think I did the best job is awesome!”
