The 2015 North Carolina Education Lottery 200 was the 5th stock car race of the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and the 13th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, May 15, 2015, in Concord, North Carolina at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a 1.5 mile (2.4 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was increased from 134 to 139 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In one of the closest finishes in Truck Series history, Kasey Kahne, driving for JR Motorsports, would hold off Erik Jones by .005 seconds at the checkered flag to earn his fifth career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and his first of the season. Jones had dominated the majority of the race, leading a race-high 88 laps. To fill out the podium, Jones, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, and Matt Crafton, driving for ThorSport Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
