2014 Reap: Larson had a very impressive rookie season. More I watch him the more Kyle Larson reminds me of Kyle Busch. Both guys had impressive rookies seasons. Most impressing out Larson is he understands what he can do and cannot. To me that what separates Larson from the other up and coming stars. Pretty good year for Larson. Will be interesting how he does in 2015 and beyond.

Strong tracks: Bristol , Kansas , Texas , and New Hampshire

Weak tracks: Daytona and Martinsville

Additional info on Larson: Larson will win in 2015 and that pretty much cut clear. And I am almost 100% sure it will be on a worn out surface like Atlanta , Texas or New Hampshire. Just keep that in mind.

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: B Grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: High upside with high risk/reward

2015 Fantasy Outlook: Larson is one of the drivers I think will win in 2015. He have the talent ,equipment and potential to do it. Even though I believe he will win 2015. I also believe he will continue to have a great number of DNFs. It have a lot to do with his driving style which is on the aggressive side in my opinion. I mean that in a good way. Larson best days will come on the high speed racetracks. And certain shorter tracks like New Hampshire and Bristol. I expect 2 wins , 9 Top 5s , 17 Top 10s in 2015 from Larson.
