Monday night at the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Banquet at Trump National Doral, Toyota USA and Toyota Racing drivers collected several awards. Matt Crafton claimed his second NCWTS drivers championship and became the first back-to-back champion in series history. En route to this years title, Crafton won two races -- Martinsville Speedway (March 30) and Texas Motor Speedway (June 6) -- and recorded 13 top-five finishes and 17 top-10 results in 22 races. This season, the 38-year-old driver held onto the lead in the series point standings four times for a total of 12 weeks -- including since the Chicagoland Speedway race in early September. Team owner Kyle Busch drove the Kyle Busch Motorsports No. 51 #Tundra to a fourth-place result on Friday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway and was able to secure a third NCWTS owners championship in five years for his race team. Busch scored seven victories in his 10 NCWTS starts during the season and shared driving duties with 18-year-old Erik Jones Racing, who visited victory lane three times during the 22-race season. Toyota Racings Paul Doleshal accepted the NCWTS manufacturers championship on behalf of Toyota. Toyota clinched its seventh NCWTS manufacturers championship since joining the series in 2004. David Wilson, President and General Manager, TRD USA, accepted the Champion Owner Sponsor award on behalf of Toyota and its #ToyotaCare no cost maintenance plan.
