Headed To Phoenix: Whose Perfect, Whose Headed For 4?

Jimmie Johnson is going to try and make it four-in-a-row at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday night.

NBaP doesn't have to look far to see who the last driver to win four-in-a-row was. It was Johnson, himself when he won four straight at Lowe's Motor Speedway from 2004-2005.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series record for most consecutive wins at a track is 7, held by both Richard Petty (Richmond, 1970-73) and Darrell Waltrip (Bristol, 1981-84).

At Phoenix, five drivers have posted multiple victories at Phoenix – each time in consecutive races:

• Davey Allison (1991-92),
  
• Jeff Burton (2000-01),
  
• Dale Earnhardt Jr. (2003-04),
  
• Kevin Harvick (both 2006) and
  
• Jimmie Johnson (2007-08).

If you're a fan of the new Loop Data from 2005 and on:

Two drivers have scored a perfect Driver Rating of 150.0 at Phoenix.

• 2005: Kurt Busch posted the very first 150.0, leading 219 of 312 laps in his only Phoenix win.
• 2006: Kevin Harvick completed the season sweep of Phoenix, leading 252 laps to score a perfect Driver Rating.
  

Pocono Raceway is the only other track where two perfect Driver Ratings have been recorded (both by Kurt Busch, 2005 and '07).

Surprisingly, Johnson has not had a perfect Driver Rating at Phoenix. In his November win last season, Johnson posted a near-perfect Driver Rating of 149.9, leading 217 laps of the 313 laps and tallying 66 Fastest Laps Run.

NBaP was wondering if Jimmie Johnson has ever scored a perfect Driver Rating, and he sure has. It was at Auto Club Speedway race last season.
