Jimmie Johnson 2016 Preview
By Richard Tix
The past two season's even under the old Chase system Jimmie Johnson wouldn't have won a title, but it still isn't easy for JJ's fans to swallow a 11th and 10th place points finish. Especially considering he has 9 wins, 25 top 5's, and 42 top 10's combined in the last two years.
Those don't sound like down numbers at all. Either way, six time would still be six time no matter the system.
Looking past that, you have to think one of these years he will make it past the second round and from there he will be a force. Is 2016 the season?
Bold Predictions/2016 Season Expectations:
- As it is every year, JJ's expectations are to win a Championship and nothing less. When you have six titles you always go into a season Championship or bust. The pressure will continue to mount yearly to get to the magic number of 7, and if he ever does it will ramp up to get to 8. I am not sure 8 will ever happen, but 7 should be the main goal anyways. I think 2016 might be the year he finally gets closer to the final four. With 4-5 wins, 14-16 top 5's, and 21-23 top 10's JJ will be back on his game and finally figure out how to get past the second round, and most likely into the final's.
