Timothy Peters driving the No. 17 Parts Plus Toyota Tundra came to Phoenix International Raceway driving chassis No. 10 which has proven to be a real workhorse for Peters. Peters was having a good qualifying run when the truck got loose and he proceeded to demonstrate what an experienced driver does. Rather than fight the truck and possibly wreck, he settled for the 18th spot and felt confident that the Red Horse pit crew would do their job and get him near the front.
Peters battled tight with competitors gaining ground on the leaders each and every lap. On lap 80, the Peters brought his Tundra to pit road for service. This was when Butch Hylton and the rest of the team worked their magic and brought the No. 17 Parts Plus Toyota Tundra up to 4th. Peters remained inside the top-10 until he spun with another truck making slight contact with the wall. The Red Horse crew put 4 tires on, tried to utilize some creative hammering and bare bond on the body, but aerodynamics reared its ugly head and Peters settled for a respectable 16th-place finish.
Timothy Peters talks about this race at Phoenix International Raceway:
“Unfortunately, qualifying put us back in dirty air for the majority of the race. We put our Parts Plus Tundra inside the top-five and were looking good for a solid finish when we got spun. We battled back and finished 16th.”
