2014 Recap: JMac had a very inconsistent 2014 season. Yet he was consistently fast throughout the season. JMac biggest flaw maybe was JMac himself. More specifically his bad luck. A strong point in 2014 had to his intermediate track performance though.

Strong tracks: Pocono , Charlotte and Bristol. Ironically his career stats doesn't suggest these are strong tracks for JMac. But his overall performance recently say otherwise.

Weak tracks: Watkins Glenn , Kansas. Not two track JMac have found success on. JMac have struggled at WG last few years compared to Sonoma. He shown improvements at Kansas , but not enough just yet.

Misleading info on JMac: JMac is a savy plate racer. But is far from a elite plate specialist. Complete boom or bust. Usually get more credit then he deserves. Typically he finds the big one or ends in VL. Something to consider when the season roll around.

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: B Grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: High Risk/ High Reward

2015 Fantasy Outlook: Realistically JMac could be a very useable option from start to finish. Unfortunately two things will likely determine his fantasy impact. 1) His consistency. 2) How fast he build chemistry with his new Crew Chief. Honestly I think he could start off slow and slowly gain head of stream in second half the season. You know similar to this past season.
