Daniel Suarez is the 2016 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion, but with the new Chase for the Championship elimination format, it was one of the closest finishes in the series’ history.
Suarez finished the season ahead of Elliott Sadler by just two points, and three points ahead of the tie between Justin Allgaier and Suarez’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Erik Jones.
Ty Dillon finished the season in fifth place, followed by Ryan Reed, Blake Koch, Brennan Poole, Ryan Sieg and Brandon Jones.
