CONCORD, N.C. - Cross another milestone off of Jimmie Johnson's list.
He stands alone in all-star history.
"Five-time" became the first four-time winner of NASCAR's annual All-Star Race, breaking a tie with the late Dale Earnhardt and teammate Jeff Gordon on Saturday night.
"To beat Jeff and Earnhardt, two guys that I have looked up to my whole life, two massive icons of our sport, this means the world to me," Johnson said.
He also joined the late Davey Allison as the second driver to win back-to-back all-star races.
It was fitting that he did it at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the track Johnson, the five-time NASCAR champion, has dominated since his 2002 rookie season.
