Congrats to Timothy Peters on a well deserved win. He's the second
straight first time winner and third overall this season. Only the third
win for Red Horse Racing too.

I believe the Jason White shown here is incorrect since he is American,
not Canadian.

Helluva job by Timothy Peters. Hopefully some teams on the upper levels
will look at giving him a chance. He has come up the hard way and showed
today he can get it done. And I'm sure the Red Horse owners must love
him for this since he got them off the hook for canning Benson in favor
of him (although StrutMasters had a lot to do with that).

I should correct myself, Peters was actually the fourth first time
winner this season.

This win also puts more pressure on TJ Bell to run better I think. I
don't how RHR releases Benson because of a lack of sponsorship, yet Bell
has run unsponsored for most of the year.

Longest losing streak for Hornaday (6 races) since winning Kansas in
April of 2008.

One wasn't actually foreign, two were in sub par equipment several laps
down, and the other was a lap down, struggling in a fendered machine.

You're right... this is like Champ Car with tailgates... Now excuse me
while I roll my eyes.

Can someone tell me what happened to Skinner. We got a lot of rain where
I live and couldn't catch the truck race except bits and pieces but
don't have a clue what happened. Thank you.

Skinner got involved in a wreck with lapped trucks that wrecked his
front fender with 33 laps to go. It was too bad since his championship
hopes are over for this season.

Since joining RHR Timothy Peters has a pole, a win, 4 top fives and 9
top tens with a 9.0 average finish in 13 races. He's gone from 19th to
7th in the standings over that stretch and is only 37 points behind Todd
Bodine for 4th.

Todd Bodine has 8 top fives this year, tied for 3rd best, but only 12th
in top tens with 9. Some terrible luck has prevented him from contending
for the championship but luckily Lumber Liquidators has come back to
sponsor him.

Colin Braun had his fifth 3rd place finish of the season.

Kevin Harvick had his 6th top five in his last 6 starts in the Truck
Series.

Denny Hamlin finished 6th in his first Truck start of 2009, subbing in
for Kyle Busch who was in Memphis for the Nationwide race. He came close
to his first career Truck win which would've given him wins in all three
national touring series.

Dennis Setzer and the 8 team have only run 2 of the last 5 races. Setzer
finished 7th, his 10th top ten of the year and the first time he's had
at least 10 top tens in a season since 2006.

David Starr also had his 10th top ten of the year, first time with 10
top tens since 2006 as well.

Matt Crafton's 17 top tens tie a career high he set in 2004 with KHI.
The only thing still missing from a career season for Crafton is a win.

James Buescher was the ROTR with an 11th place finish. Johnny Sauter has
run away with 2009 ROTY honours.

And Canadian isn't exactly foreign, lol. I'm Canadian! BTW Wheeler Boys'
father, Trevor, was a Cup driver in the 80's with over 102 career
starts; he finished 17th in the standings in 1984 and his best career
finish was 9th at Richmond in 1983, all driving for James Hylton. He has
three career NASCAR West Series wins to his credit as well.

Wonder how many more wins RHR would have had this year had Johnny Benson
been kept in the Truck?

Maybe a couple but Johnny Benson is an established driver who'll find a
ride next year, maybe even back with RHR if they kick TJ Bell to the
curb like they should and they get sponsorship. It was rumoured that
Benson got the Conway sponsorship but that stayed with Roush and went
with Colin Braun to Nationwide which was also deserving.

But Timothy Peters needed this opportunity a lot more to prove himself
and he's definitely done it, so as much as I like Johnny it was worth
him losing his ride to get Peters the chance.

Mike Skinner's 200th Truck series start, and first start for Tim Brown
and Burt Myers.

"Wonder how many more wins RHR would have had this year had Johnny

RHR has been an inconsistent team, I think that's why David Starr jumped
ship.

The global recession has gift wrapped Ron Hornaday a championship.
Congratulations!

Hornaday is losing all his sponsors. I'll look forward to seeing what
the excuses will be next year when he's still dominating. Last year it
was the tapered spacers. The year before that it was that he sabotaged
Skinner's truck. Fact is the truck series hasn't been well funded
sponsor wise since the 90's and now none of the teams have manufacturer
support. Skinner, Bodine, and several others have enough funding to win
a championship in this series. Quit acting like Johnny Benson was the
only other driver on the track with funding and talent.

Funny thing though is that Benson didn't have a sponsor for a handful of
races last year and he was still competitive. AND won a championship.

Hornaday won twice in 2006 with no sponsor OR crew chief.

Other drivers have handled being a driver AND crew chief at the same
time. Sure, it may not be a Hornaday-type driver, but it still can be
done that way.

Why did they change his number from 17 to 1 for this race?

DH101, the reason has to do with how NASCAR's numbering system works.
Basically, NASCAR owns all the numbers, and team owners "lease" them,
for lack of a better term. Since Peters switched rides part way through
the year, the #17 technically belonged to his old owner, Steve Salling.
RHR used the #17 throughout the year to keep consistency with Peters, as
it was his old number. However, if you look on the owner's point
standings for 2009, you'll see Peter's truck listed as #117. This is a
way for NASCAR to say that while that team runs the #17, another owner
has the rights to it. In this race, Salling had a truck entered, and as
he had the "rights" to the #17, Peters and RHR had to use another
number. In this case, they used a number that they had the "rights" to,
the #1 that they used while Benson was driving.

Burt Myers proves he is not top tier worthy. Involved in 3 of 8
cautions. Glad he went back to playing demo derby with similar low-lifes
at Bowman Gray
