16 year-old rookie Cayden Lapcevich was able to bring home the 2016 NASCAR Pinty's Series Championship becoming the first champion under the Pinty's Banner. The Grimsby, Ontario, teenager finished the season 54 points over veteran Andrew Ranger in the largest margin of victory in the standings since 2011. Lapcevich's championship title also broke the all-time NASCAR record as the youngest champion in any NASCAR national or touring series, which was set by 2015 Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano. Lapcevich, who initially planned to compete part-time this season, finished the year with three wins and was the only driver to finish in the top-10 in all 12 events. The dominators Andrew Ranger and Alex Tagliani were able to finish on the podium in this seasons Points standings. Kevin Lacroix was able to hold on to third and LP Dumoulin rounded out the Top-5 in points. In addition to winning the driver’s championship, Lapcevich also secured the Josten’s Rookie of the Year title and the owner’s title for his mom, Sherri, who serves as the car owner for the No. 76 Fastline Motorsports Dodge. Lapcevich is the first champion to be crowned in the NASCAR Touring division and he’ll join the other six touring and weekly series champions from across the globe on Saturday, Dec. 10 in Charlotte for the NASCAR Night of Champions Touring Awards celebration. The event will be held at the NASCAR Hall of Fame at the Charlotte Convention Center for the seventh consecutive year.
