He joined his father Bob Pierce as the first ever father-son duo to claim the Summer Nationals title. The Oakwood, Ill.-native went on from Summer Nationals to win his second DIRTcar Late Model National Championship.

Mike Harrison was another driver who had a banner year in 2015. Harrison, annually the driver to beat in the DIRTcar Summit Racing Modified Nationals made sure last year was not any different.
