Matt Crafton celebrated his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship Friday night. All he had to do was start the race. He accomplished doing so, automatically winning a championship trophy that he has been dreaming of for thirteen years since he's been in the truck series. Crafton also gave Duke and Rhonda Thorson of ThorSport Racing their first driver's title.
Truck sponsor Menard's received their second championship this year, a month after ARCA Racing Series driver Frank Kimmel won the 2013 ARCA Championship, his 10th career title.
Kyle Busch and Kyle Busch Motorsports won the Owner's Championship in the #51 truck. Busch's #51 truck and Thorson's #88 truck were tied in points at the end and had to go to a tiebreaker, which meant that the team with the most wins this year got the owner's title. Kyle's #51 truck has six wins this year (five with Kyle Busch, one with Erik Jones) where the #88 only had one win. Therefore, Kyle Busch Motorsports was able to pick up their second-career Owner's Championship.
Brad Keselowski Racing driver Ryan Blaney gets the 2013 Rookie of the Year Award, becoming the youngest driver to do so, with a season that provided him with a win at Pocono in August, and thirteen top-ten finishes.
