Peters was the only Truck driver to surpass 96 mph, clocking a field-best speed of 96.020 mph.
Two-time defending series champ Matt Crafton was second-fastest (95.752), followed by Cameron Hayley (95.612), Spencer Gallagher (95.218) and Brandon Jones (94.775).
Truck Series points leader Erik Jones was 12th fastest (93.770 mph).
The second practice session of the day begins at 2:30 pm ET.
