Briar's Top 5 From The Truck Race At Homestead

1. Johnny Sauter- Sauter was consistent this year with 12 top 5's, 19 top 10's, 130 laps led, and three wins. To cap it off, he won two races in the chase, and his first truck series championship.

2. William Byron- If it weren't for the blown engine at Phoenix, we might've saw a different champion tonight. Byron ended a dominant year with seven wins. Just two shy from Greg Biffle's record with nine. He also was able to get the owner's championship for Kyle Busch Motorsports. Not bad for a rookie. It'll be interesting to watch him compete for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series next year.

3. Kyle Larson- Larson had a solid night by finishing fourth. This may sound as a disappointment for Larson, as he was up front for most of the race. He led the most laps with 76.

4. Daniel Suarez- Saurez finish sixth tonight after his win last week at Phoenix. This could be valuable track time as he competes for the championship tomorrow.

5. Tyler Reddick- A good night for Reddick. Came home in the second position, but lost the lead with 10 to go.

Honorable Mention: Matt Crafton- Crafton maintained the championship lead until late in the going. He started to slip away, and saw Sauter pass by for the championship lead with 16 to go. And that was all she wrote.
