Welcome to TimersSports
The 2014 Nascar season ended roughly 1 month ago. Like your average race fan , I decided to take some time off. To be honest , I love talking (and writing) about Nascar. More specific Fantasy Nascar. Not because I am good at it. But because I find it thrilling. So I am beyond happy to be getting back at it. Even if it only the offseason!
In today's article , I compiled an list of the sleepers from 2014 season. Let get started!
*Author Note - Individual weren't eligible if they were one of 16 chase contenders.
Garry's Sleepers List:
Jamie McMurray - McMurray in my opinion had his best season ever. But wasn't taken serious until after the chase started by most. JMac had a great chase no doubt , but his value was pretty darn high all season long. Big reason was he wasn't being pick. I will admit I was one of them who didn't take Jamie serious. Mainly because I been burned so many times over the years. In 2014 , Jamie had many solid performances. But he also had multiple terrible performances which probably chase most players away early to mid season. Overall he was a nice sleeper option.
Casey Mears - Mears surprisingly had a much better season then most realize. Check out Jeff Nathans's Casey Mears Profile . Jeff made some great points about Mears. More specifically , it was stated Mears had his best season since 2009. His 22.5 average finish , 4 Top 10s and 1 Top 5 makes 2014 his best season with the 13 team. Mears also only had 1 DNF. That's pretty impressive to be honest.
Danica Patrick - Danica get an slot on my rankings. I thought she was overlooked a lot mainly because of how inconsistent and limit upsided she was in 2013. Danica easily improved in almost every major category. She also had a breakout performance at Kansas. Wasn't ever given enough credit. She not a star. We cannot expect star-type numbers.
Paul Menard - Menard in my opinion belongs at the top when it came to sleepers in the regular season. I firmly believe you have to jump on a trend in early season. Then ride it into the ground. Menard had 11 Top 10s in the first 24 races. Which ranked inside the top 10 among all drivers in the Cup Series in that span. He also racked up 4 Top 5s in first 24 races. After that point , Menard just quit trying really. Still a great season that mostly went unnoticed.
