Timothy Peters took the lead when Denny Hamlin pitted on the 117th lap Saturday and won the NASCAR truck series race at Martinsville Speedway.

It is the first career victory for Peters, who lives in nearby Danville.

"It's awesome. Words can't describe what I'm feeling right now," Peters said after being doused with frigid water in victory lane by points leader Ron Hornaday Jr. and others.
