2014 Recap: Dillon name wasn't mention much in 2014. Usually that a good thing. Dillon did exactly what he needed to which was completing laps and gaining experience. Overall he was very consistent. Normally an top 20 was a good day for him. His strength was the fasters tracks. His short track game was inconsistent though.

Strong tracks: Kentucky , Daytona and Michigan.

Weak tracks: Phoenix and Texas.

Misleading info on Austin Dillon: Most people view of Dillon is he is a consistent driver ,but isn't super fantasy relevant. The big misrepresentation on Dillon is he actually showed great promise and poised late in the season. Which could indicate Dillon may breakout in 2015. Of course Ricky Stenhouse showed similar promise late in 2013 as well of his rookie campaign.

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: B Grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: Consistency

2015 Fantasy Outlook: I don't believe Dillon is super talented. But that okay he doesn't need to be. I expect a upstick in overall performance , consistency , laps completed in the top 15 and average finish. To me Dillon is an younger Matt Kenseth. Not a great qualifier nor willing to show his full hand during practice. I will take a guy like Dillon  all day long.
