Jimmie Johnson Wins 2nd Nextel Cup Title

So, tonight, Jimmie Johnson won his second Nextel Cup title.

One week ago after the NASCAR Nextel Cup race had ended, Jeff Gordon said "It's over" regarding the battle for the Cup title.

He was right.

Jimmie Johnson did all he needed to do to wrap up his second-straight Nextel Cup by playing it safe. He finished seventh as Matt Kenseth won Sunday night's Ford 400.

After starting on the pole and leading the first lap, all Johnson had to do was finish 19th or better. Gordon's fourth-place finished sealed the championship for Johnson who won the title by 77 points.

Pardon me for not being too excited. Oh sure, he did a great job, winning many races and remaining consistent, but I just didn't think this season was overly exciting.

This is the first season in 10 years that I haven't been "glued" to the television during every race. In fact, I haven't been glued since the first race of the Chase ended.

I think I would feel the same way no matter who won the championship. In my opinion, this season just sucked. I can hardly wait for February. I just wish the Car of Tomorrow would disappear before then.
