Bell beat out defending champion Johnny Sauter for the win this season. It is Bell's second consecutive year finishing in the Top 3 of the Truck Series playoffs.

Bell's victory gives the Kyle Busch Motorsports No. 4 Toyota their second title in three years in the Truck Series as Erik Jones took home a championship in 2015. It is the fifth-consecutive title for Kyle Busch Motorsports overall.

The Oklahoma native won a series-high five times this season and is the fourth-youngest championship winner in Series history.
