2011 NASCAR Driver Review: Jimmie Johnson
Jimmie Johnson was once again top dog at Hendrick Motorsports by virtue of his sixth-place points ranking, but only by a slim margin.

Jeff Gordon achieved his 85th win at Atlanta on Sept. 6, 2011, earning Gordon the position of third on the all-time Cup winners list.
There really weren’t really any high points for Denny Hamlin in 2011.
Sometimes it seems if Ryan Newman raced every other week, he’d be a champion.
For Kurt Busch, the high points came few and far between in what he claimed was a frustrating season.
This season, Kyle Busch was the first to go over 100 career Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck series victories since David Pearson and Richard Petty.
Any race that Michael Waltrip can qualify for AND finish has to be a high point.
JJ Yeley only went the distance in three races last year (Daytona in July, Infineon and Phoenix in November).
Brian Vickers’s limited schedule didn’t offer many opportunities for a high point in 2010, but his final race in the seat of the No. 83 ride was certainly his best.
2010 was full of ups and downs, but the season started and ended particularly well for Martin Truex Jr. and team.
