🇺🇸 Timothy Peters

Timothy Peters is a retired professional stock car racing driver who spent his career competing in NASCAR's national series. He raced primarily in the NASCAR Truck Series between 2012 and 2021, driving for Red Horse Racing; he also made limited starts in the Xfinity and Cup series. He drove Chevrolet Silverados in the Truck Series, a national single-class championship mixing amateur, semi-professional and professional competitors on oval tracks and occasional road courses.[1]

Peters took eight wins and 22 podiums across 149 starts, the vast majority of them in the Truck Series. His 140 starts there, from 2012 to 2021, yielded all eight of his wins and most of his podiums; 133 of those races were on ovals. He competed regularly against the championship's strongest drivers, including two-time Truck Series champions Johnny Sauter and Matt Crafton, against whom he was closely matched. Peters finished ahead of elite professional Christopher Bell, the 2017 Truck Series champion and 2024 Cup Series champion, on 14 occasions, and beat Cup Series regular Joey Logano twice.[2]

Peters' record places him among the established professionals of his era in the Truck Series, regularly competitive against its top tier but operating in a field where those drivers won the championships and Peters did not. His record was built almost entirely on the oval tracks that make up the bulk of the Truck Series calendar, where his 133 starts produced his wins and his place in the series' regular order.
