2014 Reap: For the record , Logano was my championship pick back in January. People laughed. Well they didn't laugh for long. As JoLo had his best season ever in 2014. He previously had only 3 career victories from 2008 - 2013. He scored 5 in 2014. Top 5s? Nearly doubled his previous career total of 27. Had 16 in 2014 alone. Top 10s? Had 22 of them in 2014. In 2 seasons , Logano have 41 Top 10s. His whole career with JGR (4 seasons) , Logano had 41 Top 10s. Yeah he had a fantastic 2014.

Strong tracks: Dover , Charlotte , Texas and Atlanta

Weak tracks: Darlington

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: A  grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: Steaky option with high potential

2015 Fantasy Outlook: Joey Logano is one of my dark horses to win the championship. I say "dark horse" because I believe Logano doesn't repeat his 2014 performance. Two big reasons: 1) Its hard to back up 5 wins , 16 Top 5s & 22 Top 10s. 2) I don't think Penske will have a significant advantage like in 2014. I expect Logano to be a major threat in 2015 , but not like many are predicting after a career year. I expect 2-3 wins , 9-14 Top 5s , 15-19 Top 10s in 2015 from Logano in '15.
