Race Rewind: Charlotte Motor Speedway… Peters was able to hit the track in his No. 17 Toyota Tundra early on Friday, May 6, after both practice sessions were cancelled due to rain the day before. He was fast in practice, and earned a ninth-place starting position. He finished fifth after a wreck-filled race resulted in nine cautions, and came kept his second-place position in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship point standings.
A Dog Named Dover… Peters and his wife Sarah have an 8-year-old chocolate lab named Dover.

TIMOTHY PETERS QUOTES:
On returning to “The Monster Mile”, one of his favorite tracks… “I love Dover (International Speedway) and can’t wait to go racing there. The concrete race track really suits my driving style; you have to be patiently aggressive. It should be a great race for us and for the fans.”
On the No. 17 team’s momentum and the 2014 season so far… “I think we’ve had a really good season so far. We’ve had a few unfortunate events, but we’ve never given up hope. The team has worked really hard, we’ve had some good finishes and we’ve continued to fight for the championship each week. I have no doubt that we’ll be there at the end if we just continue to work hard each week.”
