"This wouldn't be possible without the hard work and dedication we've seen all season long from Chevrolet engineers, drivers, crew chiefs, and teams. We all work together to put the best race cars and trucks on the track every week, and the championships are a true testament to the strength of that collaborative effort across each series."
Chevrolet has won the manufacturer championship title in eight consecutive seasons in Xfinity and nine times in the past 10 seasons. Justin Allgaier won the driver's championship while JR Motorsports won the owner's championship.
