In only his fourth year as a full-time NASCAR driver, Austin Dillon picked up his second-career championship trophy. He won the 2011 Camping World Truck Series championship and on Saturday, he took the #3 Advocare team to the championship stage as this year's Nationwide Series Champion, beating out runner-up Sam Hornish Jr by only three points.
However, Hornish's defeat did not upset team owner Roger Penske. Thankfully, a close battle in the owner's title between his #22 Ford and JD Gibbs' #54 Toyota ended with Penske's #22 winning the owner's title for Penske, which was his first owner's championship. The #22 Ford beat out the #54 Toyota by only one point.
Soon-to-be Sprint Cup Series rookie Kyle Larson can definitely say he started from the bottom and finished at the top in 2013. After beginning the 2013 Nationwide Series season with his car flying into the Daytona catchfence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPwK6QCveqk), Larson took home the 2013 Rookie of the Year Award in a season that gave him no wins but seventeen top-ten finishes.
