Timothy Peters recorded a solid sixth-place in the WinStar World Casino and Resort 350 at Texas Motor Speedway. Peters and the No. 17 Red Horse Racing Tundra recorded the fifth-fastest time in the first practice session on Thursday afternoon and the eighth-fastest lap in final practice. In two rounds of knockout, single-truck qualifying on Friday afternoon, the veteran driver secured the sixth starting position. The green flag dropped for 147 laps around the 1.5-mile speedway Friday evening and Peters fell back to eighth. On lap 45, crew chief Marcus Richmond brought Peters to pit road for four tires and fuel under green-flag conditions. As pit stops cycled through, the Danville, Virginia native reported that his Tundra was too free to start a run, but after about five laps, the handling would improve and Peters worked his way as high as fifth. During the race’s single caution period on lap 53, Peters stayed out on track, but came to pit road for another set of four Goodyear tires and Sunoco fuel during another round of green-flag pit stops. In the fastest race on record in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Texas Motor Speedway, Peters finished in sixth place.

Timothy Peters Quote:
“Our Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra was good tonight. It was a little free on the beginning of a run, but it came to us really good on the long run.  Marcus (Richmond, crew chief) and the crew did a great job at making adjustments and giving me a fast truck. We’re looking forward to carrying the momentum to Phoenix (International Raceway).”
