Red Horse Racing and drivers Timothy Peters and Miguel Paludo kicked off the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season with a test this week hosted by Toyota at Walt Disney World Speedway. The goal of the two-day test was two-fold: Refine the team’s chassis setup for the 2011 season and continue to build communication between drivers, crew chiefs and team members. Peters, 30, who will drive the No. 17 Tundra in 2011 with Crescent Tools and K&N Filters as sponsors, has a new crew chief in Butch Hylton. Paludo, a 27-year-old from Brazil, joins Red Horse for a full-time effort in the No. 7 Toyota this season. Paludo will compete for the truck series rookie-of-the-year title with Rick Gay as his crew chief. While Peters is an established driver in the truck series, with two career victories and a sixth-place finish in the points last year, Paludo will try to make a name for himself in NASCAR. He competed in four truck races a year ago, finishing ninth in his NASCAR debut at Bristol Motor Speedway and ninth in the season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.(Red Horse Racing PR)(1-29-2011)
