John Peters of Westbrook, ME will be back the wheel of the #51 car at BRMS to race in the Pro Series “I’ve spent the off season in my second year of Business Administration studies at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, NH. After Christmas, my girlfriend and I went to Hawaii to visit my sister’s family and soak up every last ounce of sunshine before getting greeted with plenty of snow… This week my Dad and I have accomplished quite a bit getting the car ready for the season. Truth be told, it wouldn’t be possible for me to do this without him. He’s allowed me the opportunity to really focus on school in the off season when I can’t be in the garage to help him. It’s always nice to be home and working on the car with him.”
The BRMS race season is almost here, as the green flag will fly on April 29th for the Pro ALL Stars Series (PASS) race. “In the next couple of weeks we should be ready to go. We’re going to start out the season at Oxford Plains Speedway with the Pro All Stars Series on April 22nd. From there it’s full focus on our weekly program at Beech Ridge.”

Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour: John Peters

THE STORY
WESTBROOK, Maine – John Peters of Westbrook, Maine, hopes to rebound from engine troubles last time out when the Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour competes in a 25-lap feature at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, May 4. Peters finished sixth last time out at Speedway 95 in Hermon, Maine, two weeks ago – but was sidelined by a blown engine for the date the following day at Oxford Plains Speedway. Peters made his NELCAR debut at Beech Ridge with a 10th-place finish last September, just weeks after becoming the youngest champion in track history at 15 years old when he won the Beetle Bug JV title for entry-level cars as part of the 10-week VIP Thursday Thunder series.

WESTBROOK, Maine – John Peters isn’t one to rest on his laurels, despite a couple of notable accomplishments already in his young racing career.
Peters, 16, of Westbrook, Maine, will compete on the Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour in 2013, one season removed from becoming the youngest champion in Beech Ridge Motor Speedway’s 65-year history and making his NELCAR debut at the track in September.
“There’s the Facebook page with the old Beech Ridge pictures and stuff on it,” said Peters, who won the track’s Beetle Bug JV championship in his rookie season. “You look at all the things that are on there, and I try and think to myself, ‘How do I fit into all of that?’ Putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, it’s pretty neat and it’s started to sink in.
