The 2015 UNOH 200 presented by ZLOOP was the 14th stock car race of the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and the 18th iteration of the event. The race was held on Wednesday, August 19, 2015, in Bristol, Tennessee at Bristol Motor Speedway, a 0.533 mile (0.858 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race was increased from 200 to 202 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Ryan Blaney, driving for Brad Keselowski Racing, would hold off pole-sitter Kyle Busch on the final restart to earn his fourth career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and his first of the season.[1] To fill out the podium, Busch, driving for his team, Kyle Busch Motorsports, and John Hunter Nemechek, driving for SWM-NEMCO Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Background

[edit]
The layout of Bristol Motor Speedway, the circuit where the race was held.

Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all-concrete surface, two pit roads, Different turn radii, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks.[citation needed]
