Jenkins, who first won the championship in 2011, sealed the title with two races to spare after a successful weekend at the Kent circuit.
Driving his number 69 MAN truck, Jenkins won both races on Saturday 31 October, putting himself in a strong position heading into the final day.
His closest championship rival, Stuart Oliver, won Sunday’s opening race, but Jenkins’ fifth-place finish was enough to put the title beyond Oliver’s reach.
The celebrations were captured by photographer Az Edwards, with Jenkins standing on the roof of his truck, surrounded by team members and supporters.
For Jenkins, the victory ends a 15-year wait for a second championship title.
The Staffordshire racer began competing in 1997 and has remained a regular contender in the championship. Away from the circuit, he also runs a commercial vehicle workshop in Stone.
