When we asked each of our photographers to select one memorable image of theirs taken during the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series season, choosing just one proved much more difficult than they believed. However, their submissions merely showed once again they are arguably the best in motorsports.

Choosing a photograph may have been one thing for our photographers, but describing why they chose the particular photograph is something else. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We cut them off at a few sentences at most. Let us begin at the beginning of the 2015 season in St. Petersburg.

John Cote

I guess my favorite photo from the 2015 season was this one of Will Power giving his teammate Juan Pablo Montoya a hard love tap going into Turn 10 with about five laps to go at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. To me, it sort of tells the story about the rest of the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series season with the teams and drivers being very competitive and continually testing and improving their cars and aero kits all season long. Juan Pablo kept his car on the track with skill and strength to go on and win this race. He and his Penske team went on to win the 99th Running of the Indianapolis 500, but during a very competitive season the rest of the teams managed to catch up and make it a really great season.

Chris Owens

This may not be a traditional pick for my favorite photo of the year, but there is a lot more to it for me. This photo expresses all of the hard work put in by everyone in the Verizon IndyCar Series paddock. It’s more than just jumping in a car and going 230 mph. It's turning wrenches, making calls, blood, sweat and tears and getting a little dirty. These are the people behind the Indy cars, people who sometimes have more wins and longer careers than their drivers. A portrait of all of the hard-working men and women who make our great sport what it is. Make no mistake, racing is truly a team sport.

Richard Dowdy

Richard is one of our California-based photographers, so if you want to know the best places to shoot in Long Beach or Sonoma, he's our guy. This year, he was on point at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and captured this fantastic shot of Conor Daly in the hairpin during qualifications. Daly had only received word he'd be jumping into the Dale Coyne Racing's No. 18 earlier in the day, replacing injured Rocky Moran Jr. Daly's green visor shows how his car may be going one way, but his focus is already on the exit. Little did we know at that time Daly would get the call to be a full-time driver for Coyne in 2016.

Brett Kelley

This is the start of the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio race. In my previous shot about a half-second prior, the cars of Takuma Sato and Charlie Kimball got slightly off the edge of the track and blew up a bunch of grass and dirt. Graham Rahal was right behind them and I captured a neat shot of him with debris flying all around. I was able to capture the Verizon logo in the background and fans up on the hill. The photo just works brilliantly.

Chris Jones

I never want to see accidents at a race, but if there is one, I hope the driver walks away, and I hope I nail it if it happens near me. Ryan Briscoe walked away from this accident at Auto Club Speedway as the field was taking the white flag and I was getting in position to take photographs from Victory Lane. Here is one of the 50 pictures from the sequence I shot. I wonder if Ryan was asked to replace his divot afterward.

Joe Skibinski

There are great vantage points in Victory Lane at each of the events in the Verizon IndyCar Series. Barber Motorsports Park is no exception, especially when photographers can go overhead of the podium itself. In Joe's words, the explosion of confetti matched the paddock’s excitement after Josef Newgarden's first win. It was great to be part of Victory Lane to witness and capture it in this photograph. To say there were a lot of smiles and cheers in this shot alone would truly be an understatement.

Shawn Gritzmacher

We commonly refer to many of Shawn's images as "Gritzy Shots." He has always had a knack for capturing focus, intensity and mystique in Indy car racing. We end our "Best Of" collection with an image of Justin Wilson displaying facets of all three as he prepares for practice at Iowa Speedway. Justin was not only a fan favorite, but also a favorite of our photographers. And he will be missed by all.
