Here is an article that shows stats to show this. It basically says that Jimmy did what they did but with a lot more competitive teams to race against which I firmly agree with and have been saying for a while. If these NASCAR legends such as Earnhardt, Yarborough, and Petty were racing in NASCAR in this era, they would not have the wins and championships like they had back then. It is much more competitive now days then it was back then.

Time will tell whether Jimmy is one of the all time greats.(my belief is that he is). However his three in a row is incredible. He has also won a boat load of races in such a short period. He is an unbelievable driver. Also, to the JG bashers. If he was racing under the old format he would have won the title last year and two others as well.

(I can't think of it, and it seems no one else in the media knows what he did, either)
Congrats to JJ on his acomplishment, and to JG for proding him...along, I meant to say proding him along...I really did!

As for the other guy, I think he's a bit of a hot head and somewhat of a showboat, but he can flat out drive a car. One heck of a year from Carl Edwards. Very impressive indeed.
As for why the media can't remember it, it's like the World Series runner up or the Super Bowl loser, no one can remember who they are.

Mainly because they sponsor an American car, and Home Depot doesn't.

I'm with you, Home Depot lost my business when they signed that contract with JGR and Toyota.
