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 →

A mere two weeks before the Full Throttle S’loonshire 98.9 at Kansas Speedway, the ARCA Racing Series’ 2014 champion was planning to attend the event as the team owner of Mason Mitchell Motorsports. But Karl Chevrolet stepped up giving Mason Mitchell the support he needed to get behind the wheel for the No. 78 team. That decision was a good one with Mitchell earning his third career victory and second of this season – also with Karl Chevrolet. Continue reading →

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 →
