Timothy Peters Earns Ninth Career Victory at Talladega Superspeedway

Timothy Peters started from the pole at Talladega Superspeedway and led 23 of 98 laps of the fred’s 250 en route to his first victory of the season and ninth of his career. The No. 17 Red Horse Racing team unloaded a fast Toyota Tundra and Peters was third fastest in the first of two practice sessions on Friday. In the second practice, Peters only ran two laps and was 11th fastest overall. On Saturday morning, the Red Horse Racing driver earned the pole position in two rounds of knockout qualifying. It was his first of the season and seventh of his career. After leading the field to the green flag, Peters led for 13 laps until the first caution. Under the first yellow flag, crew chief Marcus Richmond brought the veteran driver to pit road for fuel only. Peters stayed in the top five for most of the race, only falling back as the field cycled through green-flag pit stops. The Danville, Virginia native would lead a total of five times for 23 laps. On lap 36, Peters visited pit road for two right-side tires and Sunoco fuel, then revisited pit road for fuel only with 17 laps remaining. Peters restarted the race in sixth, but quickly made his way to the front. As the race, originally scheduled for 94 laps, went into overtime with a green-white-checkered finish, Peters restarted in second place on the front row, and took the lead and never looked back. The victory was his ninth career win and his second at Talladega Superspeedway.

Timothy Peters Quotes:
“This is for her (Ashlee Richmond, sister of crew chief Marcus Richmond). We know you’re watching. Ashlee Richmond, we love you. Thank you for riding with us today and being who you are. This is just an awesome feeling. Thanks to all these guys – Red Horse Racing back at the shop, Triad horsepower, Toyota Tundra was awesome today. Oh my goodness – just Tom DeLoach (team owner) for believing in us and this time. We got on a roll starting at Chicago [Chicagoland Speedway] and, man, it’s just been up from there.”

“A good team right here for sure. This team right here went to work when the deal happened at Daytona (International Speedway) earlier this year and built chassis 012. This is the one we won with last year and got it even better. It showed how hard that they work because we were able to sit on the pole. Just Chris Lambert (spotter) gave me system overload all day long telling me what the outside line was doing, who was behind me, what the gap was in front of me and just was able to put us in position with our Toyota Tundra at the end to go for the win and the good Lord was with us all day long. Thank you to the good Lord for keeping everybody safe. Had Ashlee Richmond riding with us this weekend as she continues her battle with cancer and this was for her for sure.”

Ben Kennedy Caught in Late-Race “Big One” at Talladega Superspeedway

After running inside the top 10 for almost the entire afternoon at Talladega Superspeedway and leading for six laps, Ben Kennedy was involved in the “Big One” on lap 92, relegating the Local Motors team to a 25th-place finish in the fred’s 250. In his second visit to the 2.66-mile superspeedway, Kennedy posted the fifth and 13th-fastest times in the series’ two practice sessions on Friday. The No. 11 team returned to the famed Alabama race track the following morning and advanced to the final session in single-truck qualifying, and earned the fifth starting position. Only three tenths of a second separated Kennedy from his Red Horse Racing teammate, Timothy Peters, who earned the pole award. The Daytona Beach, Florida native took the green flag and jumped into the third position on the first lap. He remained inside the top five until coming to pit road during the Lap-35 caution. Crew chief Scott Zipadelli called for fresh right-side Goodyear tires, air pressure and wedge adjustments, and fuel, and the black and white Toyota Tundra restarted in seventh. Kennedy battled inside the top 10 through green-flag pit stops and two more caution periods. Racing side-by-side in the closing laps, Kennedy was clipped in the right rear and collected in the infamous “Big One.” He was able to drive the Local Motors machine to pit road for repairs, and during the red flag the No. 11 team worked on their plan. They returned him to competition and he took the checkered flag in the 25th position.

Ben Kennedy Quote:
“It is really disappointing to leave here [Talladega Superspeedway] with this finish after all of our hard work. We had a fast Local Motors Toyota Tundra and good track position all day, and we just got caught up in the mess at the end. Thank you to all of the guys. The No. 11 team did a great job all weekend, and on pit road, and the guys back at the shop built us a great truck. Congrats to Timothy (Peters) and the No. 17 team on the win. It’s good for all of us to get Red Horse Racing back in Victory Lane.”

Timothy Peters Earns Top-Three Finish in 200th Series Start

In the 200th start of his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career, Timothy Peters earned a third-place finish after leading 41 of 150 laps in the American Ethanol e15 225 at Chicagoland Speedway. In the only practice session of the weekend on Friday, Peters posted the fifth-fastest time. This would eventually earn him the fifth starting position, as knockout qualifying was canceled due to inclement weather and the field was set by practice times. The 150-lap event was postponed from Friday night to Saturday morning after strong storms entered the area that evening. On Saturday morning, crews dried the track for a 10:30 a.m. ET start time, and Peters rolled off in the fifth position. Peters fell back to seventh on the start, and reported that the red and white No. 17 Toyota Tundra was a little tight in Turns 1 and 2. During the competition caution on Lap 30, crew chief Marcus Richmond brought the veteran driver to pit road for four fresh Goodyear tires and Sunoco fuel, and the quick stop enabled Peters to restart in the third position. On lap 38, he moved into the second position, but still fighting a tight condition, asked Richmond to free him up a little. The field began to cycle through green flag pit stops, and Peters came to pit road on lap 83 from the third position, but an incident in the infield grass caused the yellow flag to fly. Richmond instructed Peters to drive through and stay out until pit road was open. The team was lightning-quick with another four-tire stop and after a lengthy caution, several trucks came to pit road to top off with fuel, so Peters was scored as the leader on the restart. He led 41 laps until returning to pit road for fuel and two tires with 15 laps to go, which caused him to fall back to the eighth position. As pit stops cycled through and other competitors ran out of fuel in the closing laps, Peters charged up to third and picked up his third top-10 finish in seven starts at Chicagoland Speedway.

Timothy Peters Quotes:
How strong was the truck today?
“We definitely had a great Red Horse Racing Tundra here today. When we came down pit road under the green flag and the caution came out, it was the right call to go through so we didn’t get caught a lap down. This is what this team is about right here, we’ve really worked hard and we’re coming into our own right now. I’m just proud of Marcus (Richmond, crew chief) and all the guys on this crew did an awesome job. Not a bad day for us.”

What was going through your mind when the team wanted you to conserve fuel?
“It’s just the way the trucks are built. You can’t change it unless a caution comes out. I saw rain – whatever I could see I was radioing back in. It was a great run for our Tundra today. Thanks to the guys back at the shop and Triad motors and all the guys here – pit road was awesome. This is what this team is all about. We’ve been hit or miss but I feel like we came into our zone. We’ll get on a roll and we have seven more opportunities to go to victory lane.”

Ben Kennedy Earns 12th-Place Finish at Chicagoland Speedway

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series headed to Chicagoland Speedway for the American Ethanol e15 225. All activity was scheduled to be a one-day affair, with a single practice session, qualifying and the 150-lap event on Friday. Ben Kennedy and the No. 11 Local Motors team turned in the ninth-fastest lap time during the morning’s final practice. As inclement weather approached, NCWTS teams attempted to complete the first round of single-truck lap time trials but qualifying was halted by rain and the field set by the practice speeds. As the precipitation continued into the evening, NASCAR officials postponed the race until the following morning. Under partly cloudy skies Saturday morning, Kennedy took the green flag in ninth. He reported a tight-handling condition on the black and white Toyota Tundra, slipping to 15th by lap 70. During routine pit stops, crew chief Scott Zipadelli called for four tires, Sunoco fuel and chassis adjustments. Following a visit to pit road on lap 77, the yellow flag was displayed on lap 82 before the field could cycle through the green-flag pit stops, catching Kennedy a lap down to the leader. The race remained under green-flag conditions for the final 55 laps and the Daytona Beach, Florida native took the checkered flag in the 12th position.

Ben Kennedy Quote:
“It was a combination of bad luck and bad timing today. Our Local Motors Toyota Tundra was a little tight, especially in the center of Turns 1 and 2. Zippy (crew chief Scott Zipadelli) was working to get us some more front grip during pit stops, but that caution coming out during the green flag stops didn’t help at all. I was trying to keep us in the Lucky Dog position, but we didn’t get another caution so it didn’t matter. We’ll take 12th and look ahead to next week at Loudon (New Hampshire Motor Speedway).”

With Peters happy with the truck’s balance, the team changed four tires and sent him back out with a full tank of fuel during a green-flag pit stop on lap 64.

Involved in a multi-truck incident on lap 82, Ben Kennedy and the No. 11 Local Motors team were relegated to a 25th-place finish in the Careers for Veterans 200 at Michigan International Speedway. The Daytona Beach, Florida native advanced to the final round of the single-truck run qualifying session and earned the fourth starting position on Saturday morning. After the green flag flew, Kennedy remained in the top 10 but a sudden loss of power in the No. 11 Tundra caused him to fall back in the running order.

The No. 11 pit crew changed the four Goodyear tires, added fuel and made a track bar adjustment before sending him back out to restart from the 12th position. Kennedy reported that a tight-handling condition had continued and crew chief Scott Zipadelli called for an additional wedge adjustment during a four-tire, green-flag pit stop on lap 64, and a myriad of chassis and air pressure adjustments on lap 72 while under caution.
