The 2016 NASCAR season ended on Sunday as Jimmie Johnson captured his seventh championship. Take a look at a few winners and losers from Homestead.

NASCAR ended the 2016 season with a bang as a few late cautions and one big restart helped Jimmie Johnson win at Homestead, leading to his seventh championship.

Throughout the course of the day, Kyle Larson established his dominance out front as Carl Edwards was the highest running Chase driver for over half the race. After he passed Kyle Busch with 25 laps left, it looked like he was about to race his way to his first championship…but that’s not how things turned out.

Dylan Lupton brought out the caution that led to a restart with 10 laps to go. As Edwards moved down to block Logano, he was spun and went straight into the wall before bouncing back on the track and causing a massive wreck.

After a 30-minute red flag, the race got back underway with Jimmie Johnson serving as the highest running Chase driver. He survived two late restarts and used the final one in overtime to get past Kyle Larson and win the race and the championship.

It was one of those endings that you don’t forget and one of those moments that you always remember, whether you were rooting for seven championships or not.

Let’s take a look at a few winners and losers from the Ford Ecoboost 400.
