2008 Season Outlook
Jimmie Johnson returns yet again to the #48 Lowe's Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports in 2008. He's coming off the 2nd worst season of his career, although with an 8th place points finish, you can't really say he was unsuccessful. His run of success with at least 2 wins in every season and 4 top 5 points finishes in 6 years is remarkable, and he is certainly making a case that he will win a championship someday. With Hendrick Motorsports equipment underneath him and Lowe's continuing to pump tremendous sums of money into the #48 program, it's reasonable to suspect that 2008 could be that year. Johnson's string of excellence early in his career has to put him as a preseason championship contender every year.
