Martin Truex Jr - 2017 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series Champion!

I don't like to use the word 'deserved' in regards to sports, but the #78 team definitely had the best overall record and performance this year. They figured out early on how to capitalize in the new world of stage racing.
 
Congrats so happy for everyone involved
 
Congratulations to Martin Truex, Jr. 2017 NASCAR Monster Energy Champion.
You earned the titled fair and square and did it is grand style.

Never thought I would see the day when a guy from New Jersey became NASCAR Champion.
You mean you never thought a driver from New Jersey racing for a team from Colorado would win a championship?

Bummed KB didn’t win but like all the Toyota’s so oh well lol. Erik Jones won ROY as well, huge day for Furniture Row. EJ is the first driver to win ROY in all 3 major series, and has done it in 3 years. Also, time for certain blowhards on here to eat crow regarding the 78 driver..
 
A nice guy wins it all and the best team are the Champions.

Not surprised that KDB had to end the season whining that someone raced him to hard.
What a douche bag.
 
Huge congratulations to Martin Truex, Jr. I am glad that I got to watch that race from the drop of the green flag to the award ceremony. :D

The defining moments of MTJ's race for me had to be when he threw that huge block on Harvick in Turns 1&2 when Harv was running the middle line, and when he held off the ever-persistent KDB for the win. :biggrin:
 
Loved watching Busch get beat all year by equal equipment. Hopefully that humbles the Kyle contingent for a few days.
It was a stressful last 20 laps watching Truex hold off the 18. Logano did a good job of holding him up for several laps, and then Larson made the best move of the race by getting the 18 loose with 6 laps to go. I was really hoping that Larson would try to pass the 18, but he seemed to be hesitant. At least he got the 18 loose enough to come in 2nd. That sealed Truex's win. Today, the best driver over the course of the season actually became the champion.
