It was a rather quiet year for the No. 17 team, but Talladega was the perfect setting for Timothy Peters’s lone win.
Ty Dillon’s only win of the season came at the most famous racetrack on the planet. To make it even sweeter, he only led once, for the final 24 laps of the race.
For the first time since 2010, Johnny Sauter did not score multiple wins in a season. That made the race he did capture – at Michigan International Speedway in August – all the sweeter.
Bubba Wallace didn’t come through the ranks known as a dirt-track racer. Generally, in the case of drivers like Kyle Larson, you hear about that sort of thing.
Brendan Gaughan, a former full-timer in each of NASCAR’s top-three series, had never earned a victory on a road course.
Brian Scott was the most consistent of Richard Childress Racing’s three full-time drivers throughout the season.
Trevor Bayne had a busy 2015 season. While racing full-time in the Nationwide Series for RFR, Bayne also ran 12 NSCS races for Wood Brothers Racing.
Chris Buescher’s low and high points are stark contrasts. It’s not very often a team that fails to qualify for a race is competing for the victory several months later.
Ryan Reed’s first full year in the Nationwide Series was defined by two words: learning curve.
It’s tough to get too hard on Jeb Burton. It was an uphill battle for Ward Burton’s son; after losing his ride and hooking up with ThorSport and its third truck, he managed just two top fives all season and zero poles.
The Bristol night race, always the highlight of any season brought James Buescher a brief respite from what was otherwise a nightmarish year.
