2013 Standings- 8th / 2014 Projection- 9th
The two Fords with Winthrop logos on the back end will have an uphill battle. Last season, the team did record 2 wins, but the team never really contended on the regular. For this season to go better, Flint will need to finish races, and Dorian will need to score some top 5s.
Karl Flint / 0 / O'Charly's Ford Fusion
2013 Standings- 14th / 2014 Projection- 14th
Karl Flint's 2014 campaign will rely on how consistant he can be. Last year, he recorded a win at Atlanta, and a win at Sonoma. The problem was that, those were 2 of the 5 top 10s he scored. Most of the 9 finishes outside 10th were at the very back of the field. 4 DNFS was tied for most in Sim Cup. If the team cuts down on mistakes, and hang on to some low-number finishes, he can wind up higher than what we have him. But until then, Flint will be 14th.
Zach Dorian / 61 / Stove Top Stuffing Ford Fusion
2013 Standings- 16th / 2014 Projection- 18th
Zach Dorian surprisingly recorded a top 10 in half of the races, but the problem with him was he only turned one of those into a top 5 result. The key to success is staying up front. With only 20 cars, a top half finish can only do so much. That's why he wound up all the way down in 16th this past season. For this year, we have him at 18th. Not so much regression, more of some drivers that should beat him out in 2014.
