2014 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East

The 2014 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East was the 28th season of the K&N Pro Series East. It began with the New Smyrna 150 presented by JEGS at New Smyrna Speedway on February 16, and ended with the Drive Sober 150 at Dover International Speedway on September 26.^[1] Dylan Kwasniewski entered the season as the defending Drivers' Champion,^[2] but did not return to the series as he moved to the NASCAR Nationwide Series full-time.^[3]^[4]

Ben Rhodes won the championship with one race to go, after winning five races during the season; he also finished all but three races inside the top-ten.^[5]^[6] Rhodes ultimately finished 60 points ahead of runner-up Cameron Hayley.^[7] Hayley finished in the top-ten in nine races, including five second-place finishes, but was unable to win a race. Third place in the championship went to Gray Gaulding, who like Hayley, failed to win a race, with his best result being a second-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway. Three other drivers took two race wins, as Daniel Suárez won the opening two races of the season,^[8] while Scott Heckert and Austin Hill each won consecutive races, in the final four races.^[9]^[10] Other drivers that won a race included Brandon Jones,^[11] Jesse Little,^[12] Sergio Peña,^[13] Eddie MacDonald,^[14] and Cole Custer.^[15]
