Timothy Peters (born August 29, 1980) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series, driving the No. 92 Ford Fusion for RBR Enterprises, and part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving both the No. 92 Ford F-150 for RBR Enterprises, and the No. 25 Chevrolet Silverado for GMS Racing. He was a former member of the Bobby Hamilton Racing and Richard Childress Racing driver development programs.

Racing career

He began his NASCAR career in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2005. He had two Top 10 finishes in 16 events in the No. 4 Bailey's Cigarettes Dodge for Bobby Hamilton. In 2006 he drove the No. 4 Dodge Motorsports truck for Hamilton 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. He made two starts that season in the Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 46 for Morgan-Dollar Motorsports, and had a ninth-place finish at Martinsville.[1]

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.[2] 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.[3] 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 of winning the last race at Homestead, but lost the lead with two laps to go, as Kevin Harvick won the race. In 2010, Peters passed Todd Bodine on the last lap to win the season opener at Daytona International Speedway.[4]

For 2011, Peters returned to RHR, and scored 12 top-10 finishes, as well as his third career win at the final race at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. Peters would finish 2011 5th 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.[5]

For 2013 Peters won his first race of the season at Iowa while Erik Jones finished 2nd and would later follow that up with a victory at Las Vegas while Johnny Sauter finished 2nd.

In 2014 Peters passed Kyle Busch with 5 laps to go in the NextEra Energy Resources 250. However, Busch would beat Peters dramatically by 0.0017 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 2 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.

For 2015, Peters got 2 wins, he won from the pole at Talladega for the Fred's 250 and got back to back victories, because he also won the previous year, and would follow up with another win at a wreck filled Phoenix race, the Lucas Oil 150, getting his 10th Truck career win, after Championship contenders Matt Crafton and Erik Jones wrecked while battling for the lead.

2016 saw the first winless season of Peter's full-time truck career, but nonetheless he qualified for the final round of the inaugural Truck chase and finished fourth in the standings.

In 2017 after a normal start to the year, on May 22 after the Charlotte race, race team owner Tom DeLoach suspended operations of Red Horse Racing effective immediately unless finding of a sponsor. This left Peters and teammate Brett Moffitt without rides; at the time of the team's shutdown, Peters was sixth in points.[6] He drove a single race for MDM Motorsports at Texas Motor Speedway in his last start to date. In that race, he flipped on the final lap, causing him to stay upside down for quite a while. He was okay after the crash.[7] Peters drove two races for Young's Motorsports, Las Vegas with an 11th-place finish, and Homestead with a 10th-place finish.

For the 2018 season, Peters joined RBR Enterprises at Martinsville, finishing seventh.[8]He and the team attempted Charlotte too, but rain ended up canceling qualifying, which sent the team home. It was the first time in his career he failed to qualify for a race.

In April 2018, he made his Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series debut at Talladega, driving the No. 92 Advance Auto Parts / BB&T Ford Fusion for RBR.[9]Peters and the team came back to Daytona in the summer, but failed to qualify. On October 13, Peters got his eleventh career win at Talladega, passing a crashing Noah Gragson on the last lap.

Personal life

Peters married his longtime girlfriend, Sara Haskins Peters, on May 19, 2007. They have two children, a son named Brantley, born in 2012 and Macie, born in 2015.[10]
