Timothy Peters Iowa Speedway Post Race Report

Timothy Peters came to Iowa Speedway as the only two-time winner at the track and had high hopes of making it his third win. He qualified the No. 17 Parts Plus Toyota Tundra sixth and as soon as the green flag dropped started moving forward. Peters was able to collect a bonus point on lap 122 as he lead a lap before hitting pit road for green-flag pit stops. The No. 17 Toyota Tundra was scored in the third position as the caution was displayed for only the second time of the race on Lap 136 for debris.

With the leader to pit road, Peters assumed the second place position for the restart. Peters took over the lead on Lap 141 and would lead for 21 laps before the third caution was waved with 31 laps remaining. As the field took the green flag, Peters made contact with another competitor shuffling him to the third place. Peters really showed his mettle as an experienced driver by staying in the race with a wounded vehicle and was looking to capture a solid third or fourth place finish. But then there was contact with another truck that took Peters out of contention with four laps to go. The race ended on a green-white-checkered finish with the Parts Plus Tundra finishing 12th.

 

Timothy Peters talks about his race Iowa Speedway:

“The Parts Plus Tundra was good all day. I kind of question that debris caution and then someone ran over us. We’ll go to Chicago. I appreciate everybody at Red Horse Racing for what they do — Toyota, Parts Plus, OtterBox, Net 10, Zaxby’s. Just a disappointing day to what could have been great.”
