Timothy Peters Earns First Victory Since 2015 in Fr8Auctions 250 as Two Drivers Eliminated from Playoffs

TALLADEGA, Al. - Timothy Peters survived the chaos of the Talladega Superspeedway and made an interesting move, in the end, spinning Noah Gragson putting the final caution of the afternoon out which ultimately handed Peters the victory.

In what could be his final truck start for a while, Peters was able to show his worth by winning his first race since Phoenix in 2015. The victory also marked his first Truck Series victory in a Chevrolet.

Myatt Snider earned his career-best finish of second while David Gilliland, Justin Haley, and Wendell Chavous rounded out the top-five. Grant Enfinger led the most laps during the race but got turned by David Gilliland late in the race and relegated him to a 19th place finish.
