The 2015 Careers for Veterans 200 was the 13th stock car race of the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and the 16th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, August 15, 2015, in Brooklyn, Michigan at Michigan International Speedway, a 2.0 mile (3.2 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 100 laps to complete. Kyle Busch, driving for his team, Kyle Busch Motorsports, would make a late-race pass for the lead on Ryan Blaney with four laps to go, earning his 44th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and his second of the season. Busch dominated parts of the race as well, leading a race-high 44 laps.^[1] To fill out the podium, Blaney, driving for Brad Keselowski Racing, and Erik Jones, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Background

Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a 2 mi (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located approximately four miles (6.4 km) south of the village of Brooklyn, Michigan, United States. Situated on more than 1,400 acres (5.7 km²)^[2] in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan, the track is 70 miles (110 km) west of the center of Detroit, 40 miles (64 km) from Ann Arbor, and 60 miles (97 km) south and northwest of Lansing, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio, respectively. MIS is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a sister track to Texas World Speedway, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by NASCAR. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).^{[ citation needed ]}

Michigan is the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners, long straightaways, and lack of a restrictor plate requirement; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h) and corner entry speeds are anywhere from 215 to 220 mph (346 to 354 km/h) after the 2012 repaving of the track.^{[ citation needed ]}
