Owner- Michael Taylor
2013 Standings- 4th / 2014 Projection- 2nd
One of the projected improvements for this year. The key lies in consistency. A total of 6 DNFs was 2nd most in Sim Cup last year. But despite that, both cars had top 9 finishes in points. The reason is the 4 wins the team scored. Take away the retirements, and Taylor Motorsports is a real contender for the team cup.
Dillon Fischer / 19 / Old Spice Toyota Camry
2013 Standings- 9th / 2014 Projection- 8th
A 19th at Homestead last year hurt the team from the start. But after that, two 11ths, a 4th, and a win at Talladega, Fischer was now mixing it with the best of the league. The next 6 races were less than ideal, with only one top 10. But the 19 came on strong on the last 3 races. If Fischer can run in the top 10 more consistently, he will be there at the very end. He knows how to get to victory lane, so it's a matter of staying out of trouble and being smart.
Anthony Wick / 26 / AAA Toyota Camry
2013 Standings- 3rd / 2014 Projection- 2nd
Wick might be the best shot at dethroning the 6 car for the title. Take away the blow up at Phoenix that ended his title run, the last 4 races of last season were something all drivers dream of. Two wins and a 3rd place kept him in the race, and gave him a huge boost for this year. Also winning the All-Star race definately helps. The reason he lost the championship was his 4 DNFs. The team worked hard to cut down this number. If they can limit the problems, the 26 will be scary to see in your rear view mirror.
