Bowyer started off the season with a top 10 at Daytona.
Despite having a few top tens throughout the year, on August 19 it was announced that Bowyer & MWR will part ways after the season ends, with MWR not fielding full-time teams in 2016.
On September 30, 2015, it was announced that Tony Stewart (Stewart-Haas Racing) would retire from the NASCAR Sprint Cup series after the 2016 season and negotiated a contract which will allow Bowyer to drive the No.
14 car in the 2017 season.
On October 2, 2015, it was announced that Bowyer will move to HScott Motorsports for the 2016 season replacing Justin Allgaier before making his transition to Stewart-Haas Racing the following season.
On December 15, 2015, a leaked photo on Twitter showed that Bowyer will bring over his No.
15 & 5-Hour-Energy sponsorship from Michael Waltrip Racing to HScott Motorsports for his lone season with them.
Bowyer made the Chase due to having enough points to qualify, but his Chase was hit heavily by a 25 driver and owner points penalty, a $75,000 fine and the suspension of crew chief Billy Scott for 3 races.
Bowyer appealed the penalties but they were upheld by the appeals panel.
With the penalty, Bowyer didn't advance to the second round of the Chase.

In his last season with MWR, Bowyer was winless, and scored just 12 top 10s and finished 16th in the championship.
