BRASELTON, Ga. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus won a record-tying seven NASCAR championships over a successful 17-year partnership.

The relationship began to unravel after their final 2016 championship and they split after the 2019 season.

The two worked their last race of the year at Road Atlanta on Saturday and say their relationship is solid.
