"It's awesome to be going to Martinsville with Ricky and this group of guys," said Peters in the team release. "I've known Ricky for a long time; I've raced with them in late models and then trucks and they are true racers. (Crew chief) Mike Hester knows Martinsville, as their finishes have proven, and it is one of my favorite places to race and a track where I have a lot of experience."Peters last start in the series came at Homestead last November when Peters drove for Young's Motorsports in the No. 02 entry. Peters finished 10th in that race. It'll be the first time in his 13 years in the NCWTS that he'll pilot a Ford in the Series. The start will be the 80th for Ricky Benton Racing. Over the 80 starts, the organization has the best finish of third twice, both at the Daytona International Speedway (2011 and 2016) with Clay Rogers and Parker Kligerman.
"Timothy has a great track record in the truck series and is one of those guys who has a chance to win every time he gets on track," said RBR owner Ricky Benton. "In addition to that, he is a great fit with our team. Like us, he cut his teeth in late models on short tracks. He has been in our shop since we decided to work together at Martinsville and has really hit it off with our guys." (Koelle,2018)
