Don't know why but I think this is good thing.

+1.
Yep 8 wins in 1 year is pretty awesome in Today's NASCAR, Congratulations Martin and Furniture Row
The goofy playoff system means the best driver all year doesn't necessarily win, but Truex earned this one all year long.
It's a great thing. It couldn't have happened to a better person.
There have been a few championships won by the wrong guy since the chase bullE36 M3 came along. There are no possible arguments that the wrong guy won this year.
He earned it! 
It was a pretty exciting finish to the race too.

No kidding. 25 to go, I thought Harvick. 20 to go, Busch. It wasn't until about two to go I thought Truex would do it. He did a hell of a job in what was probably not the best car.
Well done Martin.........the little guys won one
By all accounts a humble guy that has worked hard. He can also drive. Dam can he drive. His car was on the edge of control for the last 20 laps. Great finish to that race.
What should I be searching for a youtubes link to see the end at least if it was a good race. Generally speaking I can't convince any of my friends NASCAR is racing
Truex is a class act, and very deserving of the championship. There are lessons to be learned from him.
+1 Danny Shields.

Search for the last 40 or so laps- from the last restart. Might take a day or two. I just looked, and there is lots of Homestead 2016 video, but just interviews and stuff from 2017 so far.
The part I like is that he showed all the other teams/drivers how to race under the new stage points format. He earned enough stage/playoff points during the year that he was already one of the "final four" before the Phoenix race was run and didn't need a win in the final round.
I think back to Truex's first year in the 78. Kurt Busch had just gotten out of the car after making the chase and Martin didn't do squat during his first season. Since then though, the 78 team has gone on a tear winning a bunch of races, also a few heartbreak losses after dominating, and becoming a championship caliber team, all while using JGR's cars and outperforming JGR themselves. Then there's the part where basically they are a single car team out of Denver, Colorado, hardly the stock car capital of the world, competing against all the megateams out there. Yeah, if you hate the way this played out, have your head examined.
