Kyle Busch won four of the first 14 races and the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to claim his second NASCAR Cup Series championship. Busch won his previous title in 2015, with both championships coming with Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota. “We have a great race team and a great owner,” an emotional Busch said in victory lane. Today we had a really good car and I could race around and move around. Busch became the 16th driver to win more than one Cup Series title. Hamlin started the season on a strong note, winning the Daytona 500 at Daytona Int’l Speedway, and went on to win six races and finish fourth in the standings.
