The Nascar season comes to an end in Florida

Martin Truex Junior won his initial NASCA Cup title, holding off Kyle Busch at the Ford EcoBoost 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in the final race.  

It was Truex's eighth victory of the season.

Kyle Larson, who was eliminated from the playoffs last month, finished third.

It was also the final race for Dale Earnhardt Junior, who retired after his 25th-place finish.

Danica Patrick blew a tire and wrecked, finishing 37th, and said next year she would race only at the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500.
