No. 17 Strutmasters.com Toyota Tundra

Finishing Position: 4th

Are you happy with the way you ended your 2009 season tonight?

“What a way to end a year with this Strutmasters.com Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra. It’s just awesome to end a year on this note right here. We looked to stay out and we didn’t have anything to lose. We were gambling to see if we could get us another victory but I tried to get the tires as clean as I could and I spun them a little bit. A rookie mistake on my part. I’ve got to thank Chad Kendrick (crew chief) and everybody on this team. They do a great job. From where we started at Daytona not knowing if we could make it past Martinsville. Tom DeLoach (Red Horse Racing, team owner) gave me an awesome opportunity to be here. Strustmasters.com, Toyota, Toyota, Toyota — I can’t thank those guys enough. I’m
looking forward to next season.”

How did your truck handle during the race?

“It was good for us. Our Strutmasters.com Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra was good right off the lift gate. We made a gamble there at the end to stay out thinking some people would stay out with us but everybody came in. Chad Kendrick (crew chief) did a great job. The whole team — considering where we started at in Daytona not knowing that I could make it past Martinsville. I don’t know where we ended up in points but we had a good finish and got us a win this year.”

“They had fresh tires. Everybody came down pit road and we were just the lonely sole out there. But all in all it was a
good day. I’m just ecstatic. When we joined Red Horse Racing we were 19th in drivers points and I think we ended up
around seventh. It’s been an awesome year and I’m ready to go to Daytona.”

What happened on the final restart?

“When you race with these guys you learn a lot and (Kevin) Harvick is the best of the best. I cleaned my tires off but
evidentially it wasn’t enough. I made a rookie mistake and spun them too much, but he had new tires and was going to go
by us in turn one anyway.”

Todd Bodine

Finishing Position: 5th

What happened from your viewpoint on the ‘green-white-checkered’ finish?

“The truck series usually is pretty crazy with the green-white-checkered. Before the caution came out we had the fastest
truck on the track. We were just so far back, we were running seventh, so we decided to come in, put two tires on and gain
a little track position. We pumped the right front tire up a little too high and it pushed too much in the last two laps. We
still gained two spots. Copart and everybody, I really appreciate what they’ve done for us this year in getting us through the
year with their sponsorship. It’s typical Germain Racing — we just never give up. We started the season with a win at
Daytona with no sponsor on the truck and we made it through the season with the help of Copart, Ventrillo and Lumber
Liquidators. It was a tough year, but we got through.”

What were you adjusting in your truck when you lifted the hood halfway through the race?

“The first set of tires, we corded the inside pretty bad. I think it was really the right call to come in and adjust it so we
didn’t blow it out. We didn’t need to finish in the back – we needed to keep the points up to finish fourth in points. It really
didn’t help it drive any better, but it definitely saved the tire and kept us in front of Johnny (Sauter) for fourth in points.”

No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra

Finishing Position: 6th

What happened from your viewpoint on the ‘green-white-checkered’ finish?

“That was crazy and that cost us a spot right there. I didn’t know if I was supposed to come on pit road or not. Just had a
lot of confusion going on with the radio right there. We had about a fourth or fifth-place truck and we lost a couple spots
right there at the end. We’ve got a good race team and we’ve got a lot to build on. I’m proud to be driving a Toyota Tundra
and I can’t wait till Daytona.”

Mike Skinner

“It was a great season and I really felt like I would have liked to have finished a little better last night. I thought that we
might have had a little better truck. Eric (Phillips, crew chief) did a good job, the pit crew did a fantastic job – I don’t think
the driver did that good of a job tonight. I kept overdriving the corners and trying to get grip that just wasn’t there. Tim
Fedewa did a great job spotting, he kept trying to get me to slow down in the corner. When I would slow down getting in
the corner, I would run really good laps and we had a really good truck. Got to work on the driver a little bit with these tires
that are like this. Goodyear does a great job and I know they’ll get us better stuff next year.”

Kyle Busch wins the Mountain Dew 250 fueled by Fred’s at Talladega Superspeedway

Finishing Position: 1st

How did the final lap of the race feel?

“That just happened – unbelievable. I owe everything to Aric Almirola today. Sticking with me from that last pit stop to the end, I told him if he just stayed with me they wouldn’t be able to beat the 15 (Almirola) and 51 (Busch). Awesome job to Aric (Almirola), he can take my half of the pay after today. I don’t get paid anything. I don’t know what Billy Ballew will work out with him. What an awesome truck – this Miccosukee Tundra was great today.

The guys did an awesome job building it. You can only go as fast as what it’s built from the shop so obviously a lot of work went into this thing. Toyota clinched the manufacturer’s championship – that’s awesome. Thank NOS Energy Drink, thank the fans – it was a lot of fun today. There was a few moments that maybe got a hairy and a little sketchy, but overall it worked out in the end for us so that’s awesome.”

What were you able to say to Aric Almirola in the closing laps of the race?

“I need a more private channel so not everybody hears it. Basically, I had to tell him just the ways that I’ve been here in the past. Last year I got beat. The first year I was horrible. We won’t go there, I think I was eighth or ninth, made a lot of mistakes. Last year I saved a lot of that till the end of the race and didn’t quite get in the position that I needed to be in. Today, I had Aric (Almirola) behind me who really helped me and being able to just talk through him and telling him what to do – if we just stayed together. The biggest patience in this race, I know it was 94 laps today, but there was 93 laps of patience and a one lap free for all that wins this thing. Aric (Almirola) did an awesome job.”

Were you worried that you were making your final move too late?

“No because I wasn’t yet to the 30 (Todd Bodine) – I wasn’t sure of what direction I needed to go, I wasn’t sure if he was going to block. I sort of started up high slow to see if he would. Aric (Almirola) was bumping me there so I didn’t want to be too jerky on the wheel and spin myself out on his truck. I just pulled up nice and smooth and Todd (Bodine) held his line and we just went around the outside of him. I was kind of surprised by that, but I guess he learned from my own mistake at Daytona, when you try to move up in front of a train that’s coming – you’re going to wreck. We’ve seen that the last few times here, Carl (Edwards) tried to do the same thing with the 09 (Brad Keselowski) or whatever. I guess when you’re the leader coming down towards the stretch you’re better off to just hold your line and take what you’re going to get.”

How much did bump drafting play a role in today’s race?

“It definitely played a role because you never know how close you are to NASCAR’s line of going over of being too aggressive. Earlier in the race the 30 (Todd Bodine) and the 25 (Terry Cook) were teamed up pushing each other down the backstretch and the 25 (Cook) got crossed up getting into turn three and they gave him a warning. Then five laps later, he’s doing it again – all the way down the backstretch. You can bump draft is fine, apparently, but push drafting is what the problem is. I don’t know if there needs to be a new term laid out there, but I think I just did it. The push draft is the problem and that happened a couple times today.

I never did it – I was bump drafting the five (Mike Skinner) when we were getting up towards the front. I would always bump him, get off him, bump him, get off him – it would help the row along, but it wasn’t like two trucks get teamed up together and just push draft all the way around the track. I don’t know where that line is. I don’t know – you warn a guy once and he does it again and you don’t post him or don’t do anything about it then what’s the penalty. Apparently everybody was supposed to be warned in the driver’s meeting, but I guess you can still get warnings out on the race track. It’s a hard situation to understand, but Aric (Almirola) and I, we saved it for the last lap, from turn four on to the start-finish. I think we played it out nicely.”

What would you like to see NASCAR do about ‘push-drafting?’

“What I would like to see is if NASCAR issues the warning in the driver’s meeting tomorrow then that’s your warning. If you do it and cross their line, their aggressive driving line they’ve got, if you go over that then I would like to see a drive through penalty – you get posted, black-flagged, drive through penalty. Then you have to come down and do your penalty. How long can you push a guy? On the Cup side, Denny (Hamlin) has actually been practicing that in practice the past few years here. His time is two laps – he can push a guy for two complete, full laps and then he starts to get about 250 degrees on water temp, which is about too high.”

What is the difference between a ‘bump-draft’ and a ‘push-draft?’

“You don’t really want to push or bump draft through the corners, that’s the thing. Here you can get away with doing it because there’s so much grip. The push draft, when you get up on a guy and just start pushing him and you start picking his speed up, you actually start lifting him up off the race track and the back of the truck is just sort of sliding around. It’s like a wheel barrel, you’re just up on the front two tires like you’re just steering it like that. The bump draft, if it’s gentle enough, if you’re not Juan Pablo Montoya and just plow a guy and if you just bump a guy, you can keep that row going. It’s just little bumps, it doesn’t lift your tires off the ground, it doesn’t do anything and it gives that guy a sense. When you bump them straight on, he might have to move the wheel a little bit, but he’s not chasing the back of his truck all around when he’s getting a push draft. He just gets a bump, figures it out and he’s back on the ground. It happens quick enough where everything settles out.”

Aric Almirola

Finishing Position: 2nd

How was your race today?

“It was a good race, it was fun. We had a good truck. I’m real proud of Doug George (crew chief) and all the guys on this team. Everybody at Billy Ballew Motorsports did a great job and worked really hard. We had two awesome speedway trucks and it showed today. There were not very many people that could hang with us (Kyle Busch) when we got together and we proved that a couple times throughout the race. We tried not to show our cards too much in the beginning. It paid off and it was a one-two finish for Billy Ballew – I just wanted to be one bad.”

What did it mean when Kyle Busch drove down pit road to thank you?

“It meant the world. As hard as it is to win these races, he’s won a lot of them and he knows that it was a team effort today. Congratulations to Billy Ballew in his 300th start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and he got a one-two finish so that’s pretty awesome for him.”

Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?

“In the beginning of the race, Todd (Bodine) was behind me and I was behind the six (Colin Braun) and I never touched the six, Todd (Bodine) never touched me and we were just cruising around, just riding. I was riding seriously half to three- quarters throttle just to make sure that I didn’t run into the back of the six (Braun). 30 laps into the race, all of the sudden I was getting slammed from the back. It was for no reason really, we weren’t going anywhere. The guy in front of me wasn’t going to go any faster from me slamming into him. A couple times I actually burned the brakes up, the brakes went all the way to the floor board just to keep from running over the people in front of me. If we knocked our grill and our duct work in, then we had to come in to take tape off then we surely weren’t going to have a shot to win. I think people were really aggressive and didn’t need to be.”

Todd Bodine, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra

Finishing Position: 3rd

Are you disappointed with a third-place finish?

“We got used to winning for sure. We made the right move – we had a great truck and made the right move at the end and got the lead. We just didn’t have a teammate. Kyle (Busch) had his teammate right behind him. I could have blocked him coming to the checkers, but I didn’t want to be like Carl Edwards and end up in the catch fence. With Kyle (Busch), that’s what would have happened – he’s a racer and you can’t blame him for that. It was a great day for Billy Ballew Motorsports with a one-two finish. Our Germain Copart Tundra was fast, it was again the best truck and it drove fantastic. We just ended up third. There’s nothing you can do but be happy with it and we had a good day.”

Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?

“This is my one chance to speak so I’m going to speak a little bit here. They need to do something with the Cup cars, the Nationwide cars and the trucks with the bump drafting – everybody knows it, everybody said it. It’s getting out of control with the Cup cars with guys hitting each other in the corners, spinning each other out. It’s a simple solution – brace the back bumpers up as hard as you can brace them. You ought to see the back bumper in my truck – it’s like a Mack Truck bumper. The next thing you do is you take the bumper out of the front so if you hit somebody, you hit them with fiberglass. I’m not going to hit somebody with fiberglass and mess my aerodynamics up so what’s that do? It stops everybody from bump drafting, it’s a simple solution.”

Terry Cook

Finishing Position: 4th

What happened to your truck early in the race?

“We were losing horsepower so we had to come in and work on it and every we were taping the air box and got it double- nutted so then we were able to fix that. Then we blew up the transmission with about 14 laps to go and it was spitting rear end grease out, smoking inside the truck. We had just about everything go wrong that you could and still come out with a top-five finish. This is a big day for Harris Trucking — to have two trucks in the top-five – that’s a big weekend. I wish I wouldn’t have had to come from the back because we had a horse.”

David Starr

Finishing Position: 5th

What was your strategy in the closing laps?

“We were trying to do the right thing, I was thinking of which way I should go and who I should go with. Going from second to fifth is a little disappointing, but a top-five for HT Motorsports and Terry Cook did a heck of a job. I should have jumped up to the high side, but you second-guess yourself and if I would have jumped up to the high side then they would have gone to the bottom. Then I would have finished a little further back. It was a great race – our Zachery Toyota Tundra was awesome. All the guys did a heck of a job and I can’t thank them enough.”

Aric Almirola

Almirola has one previous NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start, one Nationwide and three Sprint Cup Series starts at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.

“Where else can you see 36 trucks in a pack racing three and four wide at 190 mph, inches from each other,” Aric Almirola said “I’m sure it’s a nail-biter for the fans, but it’s honestly at lot of fun behind the wheel. You just try to get yourself in position within 10 laps to go and once you get down to two laps to go it’s every man for himself.”

Billy Ballew Motorsports who is celebrating their 300th-start in the Camping World Truck Series has had five previous entries at the superspeedway with a best finish of third-place position posted in 2008.

“It’s cool that Billy (Ballew) is making his 300th start at Talladega,” Almirola said. “I feel proud to be a part of the list of 50 drivers to have driven for Billy Ballew Motorsports over the years. It just shows how long he’s been around the sport and racing is very performance-base driven, and to make his 300th start it compliments Billy’s efforts and his race teams he’s built. And you can’t stay in the sport and run at a competitive level without supportive sponsors and Billy has done a great job at brining partners in and taking them to victory lane.”

“It’s overwhelming,” Billy Ballew said. “I’ve been be fortunate to have success with that many drivers for this many years. This started as a dream, to have my own team and over the years it has become something pretty close to my heart. It is even more special that this 300th-start is occurring in Talladega which is close to my home base of Atlanta, Georgia.”

Aric Almirola and Billy Ballew Motorsports along with their sponsor are continuing to promote a national public education campaign to raise awareness of actinic keratosis (AK) (Ack-tin-ick Kare-uh-toh-siss) – a potential early warning sign of skin cancer – as well as the long-term consequences of accumulated sun damage. Please visit www.AKAwarness.com for more information.

The Mountain Dew 250 (94 laps, 250.04 miles) NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race is slated to begin Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 3:00pm CT.

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 1st

How does it feel to get your first truck series victory at your home track?

“Words can’t describe what I’m going through right now. These two guys up here — Tom DeLoach (team owner) for
believing in me and giving me an opportunity. Chad Kendrick (crew chief) for sticking with me when neither one of us knew
what would happen in our future. Chip Lofton with Strutmasters.com. Mike Smith (track public relations) and Clay Campbell (track president) — I can’t say enough about these guys for the show that they put on not only for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series here at Martinsville Speedway but the Balley’s 300 also, a Late Model stock race. It’s been bitter sweet — a long time coming. This was is for my dad.”

Were you worried that you would run out of fuel?

“I was a little worried about that in the beginning. What a great call Chad (Kendrick) made at the beginning to come down pit
road to get tires. We were just so loose on forward bite on the beginning of the run in this Strutmasters.com, Red Horse
Racing Toyota Tundra. I can’t thank these guys enough. Everybody involved with us. The No. 1 was number one today.”

What were you thinking the last few laps?

“The last 10 laps, I was saying my prayers. ‘C’mon Lord, let’s go 10 laps.’ Thank the Lord above. This right here is
awesome to win at Martinsville for my Dad, who I lost in (2001). I have a lot of memories right here. I’m speechless.”

Did you feel anything special this morning that made you think you could win?

“It’s nothing out of the ordinary other than I wanted to race today really bad because I knew in race trim we had a real good
truck. We were just a little too free in qualifying and didn’t get the starting position that we like, but again, the beginning of
the race, we were just a little too free as far as our drive off. We came down pit road somewhat out of sequence. Chad made
great calls. Nothing is any different. I got up and put my clothes on the same way I do every day.”

What did it mean to have veteran drivers congratulate you in victory lane?

“I had Todd (Bodine) and Ron (Hornaday) come up. I thought I was going to have a heart attack from that cold Gatorade he
dumped on me. Terry Cook, Stacy Compton, all the guys that have had success in this sport, especially Todd and Ron with
their championships — it’s an awesome feeling. Tom (DeLoach) talked about the last time that he had been victory lane was
’06, and the last time I was in victory lane was ’05 and it was here. It feels great to be in victory lane. Four years is a long
time, especially when you come off Saturday night short tracks and you’re used to winning week in and week out. We knew
we had to get the respect of these guys because they’re professionals. Hopefully they see that with us.”

CHAD KENDRICK, crew chief, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

What were your thoughts in the final laps of the race today?

“Since Vegas this race right here – I have a calendar in my office and this race was marked. So as soon as Vegas as over
our thought concentration and everything went into this race. We went and tested and tested and went to the seven-post and
we put a lot of effort. We also put a lot of effort into the fuel because we were here in the spring and was running fifth with
eight to go and ran out. So we sat down and we looked at it and looked at it and in practice we probably spent just as much
time on the fuel mileage stuff as we did getting the truck prepared to win.

When the race started the truck was actually a lot
freer than I anticipated it being and it was almost to the point where I could visually see that he (Timothy Peters) didn’t
have a truck to win at the front of the race and he was telling me that he didn’t have a truck to win at the front of the race.
When that caution fell we had planned from the set of the race that we were going to do one stop and we knew we could go
all the way so when that caution came out it kind of came out exactly where we kind of planned.

Came down pit road, took
the four tires, came back for fuel and made some big swings at it and was just hoping it was going to be enough. When he
fired off back racing he was running his fastest time like every tenth lap. I knew we had a good truck. At this point it was
just a little tight off but it was free rolling the center better than any truck here and I could see that so I told Timothy
(Peters), ‘If you take your time and get to the lead I really feel confident we could win this thing.’ He did the rest.”

TOM DeLOACH, team owner, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

How happy are you for your race team?

“I’m thrilled with these guys. It was a real pleasure for me to get to know Timothy (Peters), get to see the passion and the
drive in this guy. Many of you don’t know — Timothy comes down to our shop every day. He is there in the shop every
day working on his truck and T.J.’s (Bell) truck. You don’t see that in drivers today. You tell me any other driver that is
going into any shop and participating with the guys building those trucks. It doesn’t exist and that’s what is so special about
this guy. He can get out there, he can get up on the wheel, he can race hard but he’s one of the team.

And you keep saying there’s no I in team, well there’s a little bit of me in team and Timothy (Peters) is the me in that team. He gets out there and he gets it done. He works together with these guys. He and Chad (Kendrick) have a special relationship. Sometimes you hear them fussing at each other and you think it’s two brothers about to get in a fight but that’s just the way it is. They
communicate that way and it works and you see the relationship and it’s just really pleasing to me to see this thing kind of
come to fruition at a track like this. We were here in 2006 with David Starr. It was a thrilling time then and I’ve got to tell
you, there’s something about a win — you go three years because you’re looking for that next win – and when I ran into this
guy I knew we’d get a win. The question was when not where.”

TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 2nd

How was your race today?

“It was pretty good. We struggled a little bit in practice. Of course the first practice was shortened. (Mike Hillman) Jr. (crew
chief) made some really good calls and made some good calls there at the second practice and we adjusted during the race and
got pretty good. Got a little track position, saved some fuel. The Lumber Liquidators Tundra was decent. I tell you, though,
for Timmy (Peters). He’s such a good racer and such a good kid. It’s about time he gets to victory lane. One other thing I
want to say is that the pink helmet I had for breast cancer awareness month pay attention to EBay because it’s going to go on
there after Talladega. We’re trying to raise money for a great cause.”

How did your truck handle during the race?

“We had a great Tundra. This Lumber Liquidators Tundra was really good. We struggled a little the first practice. We got
the thing to turn through the middle of the corner. That’s what you’ve got to have at Martinsville. Be able to turn and get
good forward bite and we were. At the end of the race we got a little tight in the middle. I had to use it up a little more than I
wanted to coming through traffic. When Ron (Hornaday) and (Mike) Skinner and those guys got behind me I knew I had to
go then. I couldn’t wait and I burned it up a little bit. It was a great day. A top-five here from what we we’ve had this year,
we’ll take it and go with it.”

Did you feel like you had a race-winning truck today?

“I’m really tickled to see Timmy (Peters) win. He’s such a good kid. He’s a great racer. I had a good Lumber Liquidators
Tundra. I had to use it up a little more than I wanted coming back through the pack. I was doing pretty good taking my time.
Ron (Hornaday) and Mike (Skinner) and those guys got up behind me and then I had to go and I had to use it up and beat the
right-front up a little more than I wanted to. We got to the end barely. I think another 10 laps and Colin (Braun) probably
would’ve got us but we had a good run. The guys worked hard. We weren’t that good in the first practice but we made some
great changes for the second one and we dialed it in fairly good. We didn’t know what we had. We made a couple changes
for the race. It was a pretty good day all in all.”

What was the difference today compared to finishes at Martinsville in the past?

“Better luck. We ran really well in the spring. I think we were running second and got a flat tire, had to go to the back, came
all the way to fourth with the green-white checker and got spun out going into three on the last lap and crashed. We’ve had a
lot of bad luck here but we’ve run really well too. We just came up a little short again. You’re right. The family legacy here,
I’ve got to get a grandfather clock before I’m done that’s for sure to be the only three brothers to ever win here.”

How was your race today?

“The Harris Trucking Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra was pretty good all day. This is probably one of the better trucks
we’ve ever had here at Martinsville. Worked track position early but then we realized the competition was coming and it
was time to get tires. And probably waited just a tick too long to get tires and lost some track position. We had a problem
with the brakes at the beginning. We were just trying to be a little aggressive with our brake package and overheated the
brakes early which coincidentally late in the race made the brakes work night quite as good. This is probably one of the
better trucks that we’ve ever had here and this team has been in a little bit of a slump for the past five or six weeks so we
wanted to come out here with a solid top-10 finish, we got it and it’s on to Talladega.”

What does it mean to have your 200th Truck Series start at Martinsville?

“I ran my very first Sprint Cup race here at Martinsville. I won a big Late Model race up here. I have a lot of great
memories up here. It’s kind of cool that it worked out that our 200th start will end up at Martinsville. I love this place. It’s
definitely a top-five race track that I love to race on.”

Do you think this truck is capable of winning Saturday’s race?

“I think the truck is good. Us and (Kevin) Harvick, and four or five other guys that are really, really good. If we have a
good pit stop and nothing crazy happens to us, I think we have a chance. I think we have a good chance to win.”

Were you happy with your qualifying run?

“I really felt like I did not get the truck in the corner as good as I had done earlier and I really didn’t expect it to hold up but it
did. The truck is really, really awesome. It’s really awesome in race trim. It’s the Iowa truck that we ran at Iowa. PC Miler
Navigator is on board with us again this weekend and it’s kind of a milestone for us. The 200th start deal is really no big
deal. We left the series in 1997 and never came back until 2004. We ran a race here and there. I don’t regret going and
running in the Sprint Cup Series all of those years. I had a lot of fun and had some success but I sure loving these trucks and I
love running this Toyota truck.”

How was your qualifying lap?

“It’s rough going first, and I’m on a streak here. In the spring, I had to qualify first as well. It’s definitely not an advantage to
have to go that early, but I felt like we put together a pretty decent run considering. Jeff Hensley and the guys really did an
awesome job and I hope I can get a win for Toyota and get them closer to clinching that manufacturer’s championship.”

Are you happy with your qualifying effort?

“I was pleased with it. This SafeAuto/Melling Toyota was good in practice. The best it drove. When I ran a lap, I asked
how it was and I didn’t know what to expect. The truck has been good since we got here. This place has always been so
good to us. It’s sort of a home town race for me. This one means a lot to come up here and run good. I’m pretty excited
about the race.”

TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Starting Position: 8th

How is your truck and how do you think weather might affect the race?

“We’re okay. We’re not stellar by any means, just okay. It is what it is. We got what we got. If we have to race after the
Cup cars, the track is going to be really rubbered up and slick. The best balanced truck will be at the front.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Starting Position: 11th

How was your truck in practice and qualifying?

“In race trim, we have a really good Strutmasters.com Toyota. In qualifying trim, we thought we had it there but we missed
it. It’s frustrating because obviously track position means the world here. We’ll take what we got and hopefully at the
checkered flag tomorrow, we’ll be number one.”

What does this race mean to you growing up so close to Martinsville?

“This race means the world to me, just because it’s 20 minutes from home and I have had a lot of success up here. I’m just
frustrated a little bit because we should’ve been better than that. I knew we were better than that. But, they don’t pay
anything to start, it’s where you finish. We’ll be okay tomorrow.”
