Through 75 races, 2015 is a season no one will soon forget. These are the numbers that defined the year.
544 - The difference in points between championship winner Donny Schatz and second place finisher Shane Stewart. It is the biggest end-of-season points differential between the top-two drivers since Steve Kinser's 31-win season in 1992. In 2005 Kinser picked up his final series championship by a margin of 543 points over Jason Meyers.

31 - Donny Schatz's win total in 2015 tied him with Steve Kinser for the third-most single season series wins. Kinser accomplished the feat in 1992. The 'King of the Outlaws' continues to hold the record for the most single-season wins (46 in 1987) and second most single-season wins (36 in 1991).
22 - The number of different drivers who won a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series feature during the 2015 season.
