2014 Reap: Menard was up and down all season long. He scored 13 Top 10s which was a surprise to many probably. Big reason why was how under the radar he was. Rarely did Menard have an top 10 car , but always was there in the end. He also scored 5 Top 5s which was more then he had in 2013 and 2012. His 13 Top 10s were also best in his Nascar career.

Strong tracks: Las Vegas , Michigan and Kansas.

Weak tracks: Darlington and Watkins Glenn

Additional info on Menard: Menard in my opinion will never get any type of credit as an useful fantasy option. Typical Menard is a fantastic early to mid season ,then really falls off the grid. The fantasy players who like start saving early in the season , this is a guy to keep an eye on.

Yahoo Grouping Prediction: B Grouping Tier

Overall Value Prediction: Trendy with mix of inconsistency

2015 Fantasy Outlook: Menard isn't a realistically a overly great option. Menard will have the most value early to mid season at intermediate racetracks. Menard will be at his worst on the flats and larger size Intermediate racetracks. I expect 0 wins  4 Top 5s and 11 Top 10s in 2015 from Menard.
