Timothy Peters finished Saturday’s fred’s 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway exactly where he started—at the front of the pack—despite an extraordinary ebb and flow between the opening green flag and the checkers.

Peters was out front when NASCAR called the sixth caution of the race on the first lap of the only attempt at a green-white-checkered-flag finish, after contact between the trucks of John Wes Townley and Spencer Gallagher sent both crashing hard into the outside wall.

The victory was Peters’ first of the season, his second straight at Talladega and the ninth of his career. Continue reading →

In his début at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Brandon Jones’ patience brought him to his third top-five of the 2015 season. Jones’ finish in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rhino Linings 350 is his career best 1.5-mile finish.

After strong practice and qualifying sessions, Jones started from the third position and for the first 15 laps, he managed a loose car and tight on exit conditions while navigating traffic. Coming to pit road under caution on lap 21, Jones took two tires, fuel and both an air pressure and track bar adjustment and returned to the track in fifth, with the leaders taking only fuel.

On the restart, Jones’ No. 33 was extremely loose. Crew chief Shane Huffman brought Jones to pit road for his last stop on lap 93, for four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment under green flag conditions.

As the rest of the field cycled through pit stops, Jones returned to the top-ten, just outside the top-five until the last laps of the race, finishing in the fifth position. The No. 33 is now eighth in the series owner point standings.

“We had a really fast RSD Chevrolet today,” said Jones during his post-race interview. “I felt like we were chasing the track throughout the entire race. We went from being tight to really loose and never quite got a hold of the right balance. Shane (Huffman, crew chief) made some really great calls to get us the track position we needed to be running up front at the end. I’m glad we were able to pick up another top-five finish for GMS Racing and the No. 33 team.“

Jones’s next Camping World Truck Series start for GMS Racing is at Talladega Superspeedway on October 24th.

John Wes Townley collected his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Saturday night, saving just enough fuel during his last run to win the Rhino Linings 350.

Townley, who qualified his No. 05 Chevrolet second, battled among the top-five for much of the race taking the lead from two-time series champion Matt Crafton with five laps to go when Crafton had to pit road for a splash of fuel.

Townley’s victory came in the Georgia veteran’s 89th career start. He scored a previous-best finish of third at Texas Motor Speedway in June. His best performance at Las Vegas had been a seventh place.

Both Townley and crew chief Michael Shelton credited the team’s spotter, Terry Cook, for coaching Townley through the deciding laps. Continue reading →

Ryan Blaney would not be denied Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway.

In fact, Blaney may owe a pushing Regan Smith dinner after a green-white-checkered restart became the saving grace for the driver of the No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang, who won his second NASCAR XFINITY Series win of the season in Saturday night’s VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300.

Blaney was heading toward Victory Lane, but an attack from Ty Dillon on a restart with eight laps to go sent him from first to third.

Then, a caution waved with four laps remaining and reset the field into overtime. Continue reading →
