i would not have been upset if he did win the championship, been following him for years. but he did get a little over zealous after the race with prebus, even though byron had the better car late in the race.

But is was even better that it wasn't Kyle! Loved how Kyle (of course) blamed someone else (Logano) for his loss...

Yep, Truex was the best this year. Glad he won it.
