Timothy Peters

Timothy Jason Peters (born August 29, 1980) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 25 Chevrolet Silverado for Rackley W.A.R.. He was a member of the Bobby Hamilton Racing and Richard Childress Racing driver development programs. Peters is a veteran of NASCAR's Truck Series, having driven for the defunct Red Horse Racing team full-time for eight years.

Peters began his NASCAR career in 2005 in what was then the Craftsman Truck Series. He had two top-ten finishes in sixteen events in the No. 4 Bailey's Cigarettes Dodge for Bobby Hamilton Racing. In 2006, he returned to the same truck during most of the year, earning one top-ten at Milwaukee. However, Peters left the team in early September and joined Richard Childress Racing, where he was to share their No. 21 AutoZone Chevy with Kevin Harvick in the Busch Series in 2007 before he was released after making six starts. His best result in the series was two thirteenth place finishes. He made two starts that season in the Truck Series, driving the No. 46 for Morgan-Dollar Motorsports, and had a ninth-place finish at Martinsville.

After making another start at Martinsville for Morgan-Dollar in 2008, he began driving the No. 17 for Premier Racing, a team that he co-owned. He and Premier ran a limited schedule in 2008 with a tenth-place run at Martinsville and was scheduled to run full-time in 2009. Peters scored two consecutive top-tens at Daytona and California, putting his team fourth in owners points. After Texas, Peters took both his sponsor and crew chief and joined Red Horse Racing for the remainder of the 2009 season. Peters won his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on October 24, 2009, for Red Horse Racing at Martinsville Speedway, after pitting on lap 34 and making the distance. He came close to winning the last race at Homestead, but lost the lead with two laps to go, as Kevin Harvick won the race.

In 2010, Peters returned to Red Horse for the full season in the No. 17 and started the year off with a win the season-opener at Daytona after passing Todd Bodine on the last lap.

For 2011, Peters returned to RHR and scored twelve top-ten finishes, as well as his third career win at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. Peters would finish the year fifth in points.

For 2012, Peters won his first race of the season at Iowa and would later follow that up with a flag to flag victory at Bristol.

For 2013, Peters won his first race of the season at Iowa while Erik Jones finished second and would later follow that up with a victory at Las Vegas while Johnny Sauter finished second.

In 2014, Peters passed Kyle Busch with 5 laps to go in the NextEra Energy Resources 250. However, Busch would beat Peters dramatically by 0.017 to win the race leading the 2010 Mountain Dew 250 at Talladega as the closest truck finish. Peters ran in the top five early at Iowa in July 2014, but got into an accident with Ron Hornaday Jr. In reply to Hornaday shoving Peters into the outside wall, Peters retaliated and spun Hornaday two laps after the previous collision. For his actions, NASCAR parked him for the rest of the race, though Peters was too damaged to continue so his parking made no difference in Peters' final result. Peters finished 31st.
