In 1953, Herb Thomas became the first driver to win multiple NASCAR championships after winning his first two years prior. Since then, a total of 14 drivers have added onto their success by winning multiple Cup championships, the most recent being six-time champion Jimmie Johnson. Although Johnson is inching closer toward joining them, Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt still hold the record with seven Sprint Cup Series titles each.
