2017 Fantasy Recap - In 2017, Paul Menard had better numbers than I actually thought he did. Folks and his numbers were pretty average. Driving for RCR and he posted 19.6 average finish with just 3 Top 10 finishes. I think what stands out the most is he only had 3 DNFs, despite only posting 19.6 average finish on the year. That says a lot about how he performed throughout the season. So it is no surprise that he only had 10 Top 15 finishes (28%). Menard just wasn't very good with RCR in 2017, I think that some to do with the lack of speed, too. However, he was the worst driver in that stable though. Every time I looked up at the t.v, I would see the 27 car running in the 20s somewhere. I just wasn't impressed by Menard. In 2017 or in 2016 very much. I think him moving on to a new team was the best move for him and RCR!
Strong Tracks - Sonoma, Talladega and Las Vegas
Weak Tracks - Texas and Richmond
2018 Fantasy Outlook - In 2018, Paul Menard will join the No.21 team and the wood brothers. After Ryan Blaney moved over to Penske. I mean no disrespect to Paul, but the real reason he got this ride is because of his funding. There's no logic reason other than that! Again, I am not trying to take a stab at Paul, but I don't he is talented enough to go out and make the 21 team super competitive. Paul is just another driver out there, in my opinion. I think he will run a little better with the 21 car than with the 27 car, but that's not saying a whole lot though. If Paul can get back to a couple years ago, then he is a decent driver. But if he post numbers like the past two seasons, then I doubt it is even worth considering him in fantasy Nascar. Overall, I am not very high on him.
