Race summaries

Rounds 1–3: Adelaide

The season-opening tripleheader was held in conjunction with the V8 Supercars Championship's Adelaide 500,[24] one of seven support events for the race.[25] Of the ten drivers, six were series veterans: Robby Gordon, E. J. Viso, Keegan Kincaid, Charles Dorrance, Bill Hynes, and Sheldon Creed; also comprising the field are Australian racers: off-road motorcycle racer Toby Price, off-road racer Brad Gallard, former V8 Supercars driver Nathan Pretty, and stunt rider Matt Mingay.[26]

Before the start of the first race, Dorrance flipped in turn 9, and the effort to flip the truck back shortened the race from eight to five laps.[27] Viso, starting from sixth, moved up the field and took the lead after Pretty's[28] suspension failed. Gordon finished second, followed by Mingay.[27]

In race three, backfield starters Creed, Gordon and Viso moved to the front quickly, and battled with Mingay for the lead, but Mingay and Viso made contact and spun in turn 6. Creed and Gordon duelled for second while Kincaid led for the remainder of the race. On the final lap, Gordon passed Creed in the final turn as Creed lost control of his truck; after jumping the second ramp, Creed flipped, hit the wall upon crossing the finish, and landed back on all four tires.[29]

Round 10: X Games Austin

The series returned to the X Games at Circuit of the Americas for 2015. For the event, various drivers made their series debuts, three of whom being NASCAR drivers: 1989 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion Rusty Wallace,[30] road course ringer Boris Said[31] and former Nationwide Series driver and eleven-time X Games medalist Travis Pastrana.[32] Additionally, Moto X biker Jeremy Stenberg competed in the event.[33] Of the 16 drivers invited, five are teenagers, with four being younger than 17: C. J. Greaves (19), Sheldon Creed (17), Jerett Brooks and Scotty Steele (16), Gavin Harlien (15).[32]

Rounds 11–12: Toronto

Indy Lights and FIA Formula E Championship driver Matthew Brabham joined the series shortly before the Friday practice.[34] The weather for Saturday was dry, though Sunday was marred by wet conditions.[35]

Round 20: Valvoline Raceway

The series remained in Australia for Round 20; despite initial plans to race at the Sydney Showground Stadium,[36] the Trucks moved the race to the Valvoline Raceway in Granville as a support race for the Ultimate Sprintcar Championship due to clashing schedules.[37]

Rounds 21–22: Las Vegas

NASCAR Whelen Euro Series driver Anthony Gandon made his series debut, while Greg Adler made his first start since the X Games round in 2014.[38]

Creed won the championship.[38]

Sydney

The Trucks returned to Australia for an exhibition series at the Sydney 500.[38]
