2014 Reap: Truex Jr struggled early in the 2014 season. Wasn't until after Watkins Glenn did Truex get rolling. Once he got it together , Truex was a very useable option. Truex ended the 2014 season with 8 Top 20s (4 Top 12) 3 of them were 7th or better. Truex biggest flaw was bad luck. Kinda like Kurt Busch was with the 78 car.
Strong tracks: Homestead, Watkins Glenn and Kansas
Weak tracks: Daytona and Martinsville
Additional info on MTjr: Truex jr won't be a consistent threat to win , but I saw real improvements during the final 10 races. Someone to keep a eye on in 2015.
Yahoo Grouping Prediction: B Grouping Tier
Overall Value Prediction: Sleeper Option with quality week to week potential
2015 Fantasy Outlook: Truex Jr is one of my top sleeper pick for 2015! Why? He was in my opinion one of the most improved individual from Phoenix (Race 2) to Homestead (Race 36). I also feel like Truex is more comfortable. The confident was there as well. Hopefully he can take 2014 momentum and use in 2015. His best days will be at Road courses and certain highspeed Intermediate tracks. Plate tracks will be his worst days. Flats still remains questionable. I believe he could perform well on them , but we shall see.
