Let's go back in time to June of 2017. Jimmie was off to great start to the season, and at Dover, he won his 3rd race of the first half of the season, there was no way to know that would be the last would see him win(watch him pull a Tony Stewart and pull one last win out of his ass just so I have egg on face).
But the very next race in Pocono, he had a brake failure and had what might have been the hardest crash of his career, certainly the hardest since he was a full time Busch driver and lost his brakes at Watkins Glen.
I think that crash at his age took a little bit of edge out of him, and in a sport like NASCAR, if you lose any edge, winning will be tough. He's still in great shape, so that's not it, and he's the same age as Kevin Harvick, who is still a threat to win every race, so that's not it. He hasn't won a race since that wreck.
