2014 Reap: I was quite surprised on how fast Gordon was in 2014. To be honest , a lot of the fantasy nascar community was. Only once since 2007 , have Gordon scored more then 2 wins in a season. In 2014 , he scored 4 wins. Gordon also scored 14 Top 5s and 23 Top 10s. Not a bad season at all. Winning the championship may have been the only disappointment. An year where on fatal mistake cost Gordon potentially championship number 5.

Strong tracks: Dover , Martinsville , Sonoma and Indy

Weak tracks: Watkins Glenn and Las Vegas

Additional info on Gordon: Gordon fans had a dream season in 2014. Almost everything went Gordon way. With that being said , I see Gordon being a letdown in 2015. The 2015 package doesn't suit Gordon too well. Of course that is pure speculation. But don't be surprise if that the case. Also drivers not named Jimmie Johnson , have had a difficult time repeating stellar seasons back to back.

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: A  grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: Trendy Option

2015 Fantasy Outlook: I don't think Gordon will back up his 2014 performance. But mark my words , JG will be a contender all season long. Expect Gordon best results to come on the flats tracks like Martinsville , New Hampshire , Indy , Pocono, etc. Kinda interested how Gordon does on Intermediate racetracks. Over past 5 seasons ,Gordon been pretty inconsistent. Excluding last season of course. I expect 2 wins , 13 Top 5s and 18 Top 10s in 2015 from Gordon.
