[media-credit id=2 align=”alignright” width=”230″][/media-credit]Timothy Peters passed Ron Hornaday Jr. with 10 laps to go and won Saturday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway.

Peters started from the pole and led 87 of 200 laps on the 0.875-mile track en route to his first win of the season and the fourth of his NCWTS career.

“You don’t get Toyota Tundras like this often and it was dominate. We sat on the pole. The testament goes to this team right here. Butch Hylton (crew chief), all the guys back in the shop. You work your butts off. Thank you so much. Joe Gibbs Engines. How about that horsepower?” Peters said.

Peters also extended his series points lead to 12 over Justin Lofton.

“This was for my dad. Eleven years Tuesday I lost my dad. We got him a win and we did it in the top-three series in NASCAR. I’m going to be a dad. I’m leading the points. Life is good.” Peters said.

Hornaday finished second, Matt Crafton third, Johnny Sauter fourth and Lofton finished fifth.

“We had a pretty good truck. We made some adjustments in the race. We made it tight. Just not good enough.” Hornaday said.

Peters and James Buescher dominated the race. Buescher led for 91 laps but blew a right front tire on lap 135. He finished 30th.
