2014 Recap: Harvick had a interesting season to say the least. Was pretty inconsistent early on. A lot of it had to do with bad luck and his pit crew. When it counted most , Harvick delivered. But overall Harvick did what he needed to win the championship.
Was he the best driver all season? No. But he didn't need to be.

Strong tracks: Phoenix , Homestead and Charlotte. These track stood out to me. Not because he won at them in 2014. But he have had success at all three tracks throughout his career.

Weak tracks: Martinsville and Auto Club. There isn't a track Harvick cannot be strong at. With that said , I had to pick two weak tracks.

Extra info on Kevin Harvick: Most people would say Harvick a top notch driver. And I agree. But I also think he have a bit of boom or bust to his MO. Least in 2014 he did. He scored 20 Top 10s. He also finished 16th or worse 10 times. That's ridiculously high for a elite driver. Will be interesting to see , if Harvick can be more consistent in 2015.

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: A Grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: Boom or Bust

2015 Fantasy Outlook: I expect Harvick to be one of the best drivers at times in 2015. But I also I expect inconsistent results at times as well. Doesn't matter how fast you're , there will be good and bad finishes. The 2015 package will be interesting to say the least for Harvick it could go either way. Especially with less downforce. I expect 3 wins , 14 Top 5s , 17 Top 10s , 23 Top 15s
