Another year of NASCAR has come to a close, and it’s always nice to end on a high note. It makes the entire season feel validated, despite the grueling length of the schedule and numerous airline woes.

Martin Truex Jr had been dominant all year, notching eight victories, which more than doubled his career win total prior to this season. This post features images from Dover, Phoenix, and Homestead.
