The 2017 NASCAR season is less than two months away but that doesn’t mean that we have to completely close the door on the 2016 season. This past year gave NASCAR fans more than enough moments to carry them through the off-season.

2016 was filled with plenty of ups and downs for NASCAR fans depending on who your favorite driver or team is. Those who support Jimmie Johnson and Chase Elliott probably walked away from the season in November feeling pretty good about themselves.

Those NASCAR fans who root for Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Carl Edwards might not have enjoyed 2016 as much. Drivers aside, there were plenty of non-driver specific stories that drove the 2016 NASCAR season as well.

Here are the 12 biggest stories of the 2016 NASCAR season, be sure to comment below and let us know which story made it to the top of your list.
