When the season was on the line, Eric’s drivers stepped up and took the crown. Eric’s strategy of picking Toyota’s was the difference in the end. Eric’s team featured champion Martin Truex Jr and runner up Kyle Busch who carried him to the title. While James’ team was hurt by the late season collapse of Kyle Larson and Jimmie Johnson.

Congrats Eric!
