Camping World Trucks - Timothy Peters Charlotte Motor Speedway Advance

CELEBRATING 100: When 30 year-old Timothy Peters straps behind the wheel of the No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra at NASCAR's home track Charlotte Motor Speedway, he will be doing so for the 100th time. Peters is slated to make is 100th Truck Series start this weekend marking a career-mile stone for the Danville, Virginia native.

Peters racing career goes back as far as he can remember. 2009 proved to be Peters' breakout year in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series as he earned his first pole win at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway and his first career Truck Series win at his home track Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.

"Making my 100th Truck Series start at Charlotte Motor Speedway is a huge career milestone for me," said Peters. "I'm really thankful to have been able to make 100 starts most drivers never get to make one. This is a testament to all of the hard work put in by my family and friends many who will be at the race this weekend. I have to thank Tom DeLoach for believing in me and giving me a home for the past three years. We are very excited this season to have Butch Hylton and a great group of guys working on the No. 17 Toyota Tundra. I can't think of a better place to make my 100th start."

SUPPORT STAFF: This weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway proud Red Horse Racing sponsor partner, APEX Tool Group will host 200 guests in a hospitality chalet outside the race track. APEX Tool Group whose brands include GearWrench, Crescent, Armstrong, Lufkin, Wiss and many more will host distributors, buyers and guests from around the North and South Carolina region. Their support will be evident on and off the track as Peters carries the Crescent tools logo on the rocker panel of the No. 17 truck to the roar of over 200 cheering APEX Tool Group support team members who will be routing him on.

CHASSIS HISTORY: The No. 17 team will utilize chassis No. 001 this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Chassis No. 001 is a brand-new truck that has yet to see any on-track activity.

PREVIOUS RACE RECAP: Last weekend at Dover International Speedway Peters and the No. 17 team had a top-10 run going until the final lap when another competitor made it three-wide going into turn one. The move took the air off the No. 17 truck which resulted in a spin. Peters took a hard hit to the inside wall and was unable to drive the truck back to cross the start finish line. The crash resulted in a 17th-place finish for the Red Horse Racing team.
