Austin Dillon, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and Kasey Kahne chat on stage and look back at the Cup season at the 2017 NASCAR Awards.

Thursday night’s NASCAR Cup Awards show put the finishing touch on the 2017 Cup season.

The four Championship 4 drivers – 2017 NASCAR Cup champ Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski – all took to the stage for comments during the show.

But before their comments, NBCSN also interviewed the other 12 drivers that made this year’s playoffs to get their take on how this season played out for them, and also how they see 2018 shaping up.

In the video above, Marty Snider and Kelli Stavast spoke with Austin Dillon, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and Kasey Kahne.

In the video below, Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., talked about their seasons – and for Kenseth, more on his future plans heading into 2018.

Lastly, in the video below, young guns Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott talked about the progress they made in 2017, while series veterans Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin talked about both having strong seasons that – unfortunately for them both – came up short.
