2013 Standings- 2nd / 2014 Projection- 4th
A year after losing to Revolution Motorsports in both the drivers and team standings, Northstar is looking for 2014 to be their year. The most established driver in the series is at the helm, but the key to a team championship is, well, a consistant team.
Ricky Bracket / 5 / Verizon Cheverlet SS
2013 Standings- 15th / 2014 Projection- 13th
For a while, the 5 was an actual championship contender. The finishes outside the top 10, or 2 DNFs weren't even that big of deal. What he needed to do was turn some of his 8 top 10s into a win. His best career finish as 3rd at Indy. If he can earn some top 5s, it'll go a long way into shortening the gap between Northstar's 1st and 2nd driver.
Mathues Barros / 10 / Best Buy Cheverlet SS
2013 Standings- 2nd / 2014 Projection- 3rd
The Brazillian came within 4 points from winning the title for 2013. The only negative last year was one DNF, and that was on the 3rd to last race of the season. If his season comes anywhere close to last year, he will be in the running for the championship. The thinghe needs to improve on is mile and a half tri-ovals. On the 3 last season, he had no top 10s. With Texas added to the schedule, and Las Vegas still hosting the finale, the more emphasis there will be to run well on these tracks.
