You can only judge on what it is...not what it should be..could be...wanna be. He's part of team...like RCR guys...ChipC....MWR...ect. Hell he's done a lot better then the other guys on his own team never mind other teams.

>>player TEAM has a distinct and clear advantage over a single player <<

For sure...and I'd love it to be single car teams (which it never really has been even going back to the 70's) but I don't see what that has to do with Johnson's achievements. These deals remind me of who was better...the Steelers dyn...the 49'ers...ect.

What they've done is great...even just in his "period" of racing...other teams had chances too. Could one of the single team drivers done the same if in his car? Maybe...but you can go insane looking at the world like that.

If it was John...we'd be going insane and not even discussing this.
