Driver changes Tyler Reddick began driving full-time in the No. 19 Ford F-150 for Brad Keselowski Racing. Reddick ran part-time for BKR in 2014 in the same truck. Erik Jones and Justin Boston attempted their first full-time campaigns for Kyle Busch Motorsports, replacing Bubba Wallace. Daniel Suárez and Matt Tifft ran part-time schedules for KBM, sharing the ride with team owner Kyle Busch. Following the divestiture of HScott Motorsports Truck Series operations upon Harry Scott buying out Steve Turner, Ben Kennedy moved over to Red Horse Racing, replacing Germán Quiroga. Also, JR Motorsports purchased most of the HScott Truck operations. Cole Custer, who had raced selected age-eligible races for Turner Scott, also moved to JR Motorsports. The team raced primarily races where Custer was eligible (age 17), with five more races run by Sprint Cup drivers at tracks where Custer was ineligible to participate, in preparation for the 2016 season. Due to a lack of sponsorship, Joey Coulter did not race in 2015. Instead, he assumed the post of team relationships coordinator for GMS Racing. Spencer Gallagher piloted the No. 23 Chevrolet Silverado for GMS Racing full-time in 2015, after driving part-time in 2014. Daniel Hemric drove the No. 14 for NTS Motorsports full-time in 2015, after running one race with NTS Motorsports in 2014.
Schedule
The final calendar was released on August 26, 2014, comprising 23 races. Atlanta Motor Speedway, which has not hosted the series since 2012, will return for the second week of the season in late February as a Saturday doubleheader with the Xfinity Series. Fox Sports 1 will televise every race except the Fred's 250 on October 24, which will air on Fox.
