2014 Recap: Brad K put together one of the best seasons in quite awhile. Very similar to Matt Kenseth 2013 season. BK consistency was very impressive overall. Maybe only the two road courses were his weak spot. Otherwise BK had an top 5 car each and every week. His 6 wins back up how fast he truly was. Many considered him a favorite early in the season.

Strong tracks: Bristol , Kentucky , and Chicago. BK only been racing in Cup for 5 full seasons and 2 part-time seasons. But three tracks have consistently been a standout for him. No surprise they are listed under the "strong tracks".

Weak tracks: Sonoma and California. If you look at weak tracks for BK. You don't have to look far to find California & Sonoma. Between those two tracks he's have 11 career starts. With an average finish of 21.6 and 1 Top 10. State of Cali doesn't agree with him.

Misleading info on Brad K: BK is a fantastic option at Watkins Glenn. For that exact reason , people automatically think the same about Sonoma. But the truth is WG one of his best tracks. Sonoma one of his worst. Just a piece of information to keep in mind.

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: A Grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: High Priced/ High Valued Driver

2015 Fantasy Outlook: Tough to say what Brad's outlook could be. I don't think he will score 6 wins like in 2014. His aggressive driving style may be a liability in the long term. Which is definitely something to consider when looking at his overall 2015 potential. With all that aside , I am not completely sure if the 2015 package will give the Penske cars an advantage like it did in 2014. Nevertheless I expect 2-4 wins , 14+ Top 5s , 16+ Top 10s in 2015 from BK.
