On a cloudy day in Kansas City, Timothy Peters picked up a top-five finish in the Toyota Tundra 250 at Kansas Speedway. On Thursday, teams were able to complete one 90-minute practice session after inclement weather delayed track activity all day and the No. 17 team posted the 17th-fastest time. The team returned to the track for knock-out qualifying on Friday afternoon and Peters advanced to the final round to earn the 12th starting position. After the green flag for the Toyota Tundra 250 at Kansas Speedway was displayed, Peters quickly moved the No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra into the top 10, but a tight handling condition soon caused him to fall back to 12th. Peters was in and out of the top 10 during the evening race at the 1.5-mile facility. Crew chief Marcus Richmond and the No. 17 team consistently gained positions during pit stops, putting Peters into the top 10 each time. After the final restart on lap 115, Peters was solidly in 10th place, and was able to conserve enough fuel to finish the race in fourth when several of the trucks in front of him had to pit. The top-five finish moved Peters to seventh in the series’ point standings.

Timothy Peters Quote:
“Tonight was a good finish for us. It was definitely a momentum and confidence builder going into Charlotte (Motor Speedway) next week. It eases the pain a little bit for the way the first three races happened, but all in all, everyone on the Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra did a good job tonight.”
