Austin Dillon 2015 Review
By Richard Tix
Season Grade: C-
Season Preview: "I think year two Dillon will take a good step in the right direction. That consistency has to pay off eventually and I thing RCR will be at least as strong as last year. I am not sure he will get his first career win, but I do think 3-4 top 5's and 5-8 top 10's is easily attainable. I do think he has a high side of putting up 10+ top 10's, but realistically I think its safer to say he will be lower. He might take over 2015 as the second best driver at RCR after Ryan Newman."
Season Review: There was no jump in 2015 compared to Dillon's rookie season. He also did not take the place as the second best driver at RCR (Newman and Menard both finished higher). However, not all was lost in 2015.
Austin took a slight step back compared to 2014, but it wasn't as big a step as fellow 2014 rookie Kyle Larson. Dillon finished 21st in points in 2015 and 20th in 2014. Larson finished 19th in points in 2015 after an amazing start to his career finishing 17th but with 17 top 10's.
Both third year drivers will look to improve upon a disappointing Sophomore campaign.
