RELATED: Dale Jr.'s reaction | Full race results
Sunday's win at Atlanta Motor Speedway was the 76th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory for Jimmie Johnson, a milestone that saw him match the win total of seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt to tie him for seventh all-time on the wins list.
Only seven other drivers have reached at least 76 wins in the sport's history.
"It's such an honor," Johnson said in Victory Lane after the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. "... There's a huge void in my career that I never had a chance to race with him, but at least I was able to tie his record."
Next up in Johnson's sights: Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip.
