2014 Reap: Hamlin was inconsistent at times. Especially early on. As the season went on , I felt like Hamlin found his groove right after his crew chief was suspended. Hamlin had a few bad races in the chase. But found consistency when it counted most. People don't give Hamlin enough credit. Toyota was down on power all year. For him to be competitive as he was , it was impressive.
Strong tracks: Martsinville , Darlington , Richmond and New Hampshire
Weak tracks: Sonoma and Watkins Glenn
Additional info on Hamlin: A lot of people are high on Hamlin heading into 2015. But honestly I am not sold. Not because I don't believe Hamlin cannot have a fantastic season. But how fast Toyota is will likely be a big outcome on the success of JGR from an season pov. Expect Hamlin best performances to be on the flats.
Yahoo Grouping Prediction: A Grouping Tier
Overall Value Prediction: Stable Option
2015 Fantasy Outlook: Hamlin will be solid at times in 2015 , but not sure if he's an top notch option. Especially if Toyota ponies doesn't significantly improves. Kinda wish Hamlin would have dipped off (finishe wise) towards end of the season in 2014. Because he pretty useless in Yahoo Fantasy Racing. As the A grouping tieris pretty stacked with firepower. Not overall confident , JGR cars will be able to keep pace. Especially since this tier is filled with Hendrick power. I expect 1win , 8 Top 5s , 17 Top 10s , and 25 Top 20s from Hamlin in 2015.
