Roush Fenway Racing 2014 Preview
By Richard Tix
The biggest news of RFR in 2013 may not be what they did, but what one of there former drivers did. Matt Kenseth and RFR parted ways at the end of 2012 and it couldn't have gone better for Kenseth. For RFR, Ricky Stenhouse Jr tried to fill the big shoes left by Kenseth in 2013. Stenhouse has an average rookie season but will look to become a mainstay in 2014.
2013 Team Stats
- Wins: 3
- Top 5: 14
- Top 10: 32
- Carl's 2013 season started out promising when he broke his win less streak after race number two. He cruised most the season but then the Chase came and things fell apart. Carl struggles in the last 10 races ended up leaving him 13th in the standings. He finished with 2 wins, 9 top 10's, and 16 top 10's as RFR most consistent driver (maybe not during the Chase).
- The Biff finished 2013 higher in the standings than Carl Edwards but he also had his struggles. Biffle did find a win at Michigan in 2013 but really struggles to be a front runner. Maybe some of that was the lack of power from Ford, but one way or another, he wasn't great. He finished 2013 with 1 win, 4 top 5's, and 13 top 10's.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr
- I wouldn't call Ricky's first year in NASCAR a good one, but it wasn't horrible (Danica). If there is a positive for him heading into his second full season in Cup it is this, all 3 top 10 finishes of his came in the last 11 races.
