BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Timothy Peters won the NASCAR Trucks Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday night, leading all 204 laps for his second victory of the season and fifth overall.

Peters is the first driver to lead every lap in a Truck race at Bristol since Ron Hornaday Jr. in 1997.

Peters easily pulled away from Red Horse Racing teammate Parker Kligerman on a green-white-checkered restart that was set up by Cale Gale’s crash on lap 193.

Peters leads the season standings, 17 points ahead of James Buescher.
