After restarting fifth on lap 88 to begin Stage 3, Peters radioed that his truck had become much too free, and he fell to eighth when a caution flew on lap 105. Peters pitted for four tires under the caution, but was forced to make an extra pit stop for a loose lug nut. Consequently, Peters restarted from 20th on lap 113 and began his rally towards the top 10. In just 12 laps, Peters was back inside the top 10, and finished ninth after a two-lap dash to the checkered flag. Peters scored 35 points and is sixth in the NCWTS standings as the series heads to Martinsville Speedway on April 1.
“I have to hand it to my team on this Red Horse Racing Tundra. We weren’t where we wanted to be in practice, and they turned it around into a real strong truck tonight. We just had a mistake on pit road, but these boys rarely make mistakes. We’re in this together. We win as one, and lose as one. We came from some adversity, not only during the weekend, but tonight as well, and got a top-10. We’ll take this break to improve and show up at Martinsville to try to win ourselves a clock.”
