Which of the four teams represented in the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway end the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series season with the most momentum?

The 36th and final race of the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series season and thus the 10th and final playoff race of the season and the lone Championship 4 race, the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida, featured a championship battle that will not be forgotten anytime soon.

The Ford EcoBoost 400 is officially in the books, and the four Championship 4 drivers, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski, had the opportunity to battle for the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series championship.

But the three former champions in that group of four were the three who were unable to claim the 2017 title. The lone driver in the Championship 4 who had not won a Cup Series championship before this season was Martin Truex Jr., and he won the race, thus securing his first career title.

Busch, the 2015 champion, finished the race and the championship in 2nd place. Finishing in 3rd in the championship was Harvick, the 2014 champion, who finished 4th in the race, and finishing in 4th in the championship was Keselowski, the 2012 champion, who finished 7th in the race.
