DES MOINES (AP) — Timothy Peters and crew chief Butch Hylton used a weekend at Iowa Speedway a year ago as an opportunity to shake things up.

Twelve months later, Peters returned to Iowa and showed how much better he and the No. 17 truck have been since last summer.

Peters took his first pole of the season on Saturday night and beat Ron Hornaday on a late restart to win the first of two truck races at Iowa Speedway this season. The victory, the first of the year for Peters, extended his lead in the points race to 12 over Justin Lofton.
