2014 Reap: Vickers had a pretty average season.Started the first 12 races solidly including a few top 10s. Then at start of June , he had 2 DNFs in 3 race span. Until solid finishes at Sonoma and Daytona. In the final 18 races , He had 7 finishes of 15th or better. But also had 11 finishes of 16th or worse unfortunately.
Strong tracks: Sonoma and Bristol
Weak tracks: Kentucky and Richmond
Additional info on Vickers: I get the feeling most out there don't have a lot of knowledge about Vickers. Here few things to know about Vickers: He's a overrated flat-short track racer. Vickers will post inconsistent results. Top 15 to low twenties will usually be his range. New Hampshire probably his best flat track. Even though he had 15.5 average finish there in 2014. Vickers also a pretty underrated road course specialist. Someone worth considering when Sonoma and Watkins comes around.
Yahoo Grouping Prediction: B Grouping Tier
Overall Value Prediction: Mild upside with lower to upper teens results
2015 Fantasy Outlook: Vickers will miss start of the 2015 season which probably means he will be behind for the first few races. Vickers best opportunity to win at will be road courses or New Hampshire. There a few other venues he will have potential at. I don't see him winning in 2015. His overall useage in fantasy leagues will depend on how long he's is out. And how long it takes to adopt to the 2015 package.
