The championship was won by GMS Racing driver Grant Enfinger, [1] who won a series-high six races during the season, including the first three of the season at Daytona, [2] Mobile and the Nashville Fairgrounds. Enfinger finished 425 points clear of his nearest rival for the title, Mason Mitchell Motorsports' Austin Wayne Self, who passed Josh Williams (Josh Williams Motorsports) for the runner-up position at the final race. Self finished outside the top fifteen on only two occasions, and won one race during the season, at Winchester; while Williams recorded no fewer than fifteen top-ten finishes but was unable to break into victory lane.

The only other driver inside the top ten in the final championship standings to take a race victory was Kyle Weatherman, for the Cunningham Motorsports team. Weatherman was the race winner at the New Jersey Motorsports Park road course, and despite missing a quarter of the races in 2015, Weatherman was able to finish in tenth place in the final championship standings. Ten other drivers won races during the 2015 season; Mason Mitchell and Ryan Reed each won two races, while A. J. Fike, Ken Schrader, Blake Jones, Travis Braden, Cole Custer, Trevor Bayne, Ross Kenseth and Todd Gilliland all made one visit to victory lane.
