September 18, 2007 - LeoVince Pegram Racing Ducati Finishes Season Strong with Second at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Team Ends Season in Fourth Place Overall in AMA Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Series.
Larry Pegram, of the LeoVince Pegram Racing Ducati Team, finished the season strong with a second place finish in the Formula Xtreme class on his Ducati 848.
Pegram started on the front row of the grid from the third position after qualifying with a 1:26.576 lap time. Pegram pulled the holeshot and led the first three laps before being passed by Aaron Gobert of Erion Honda.
Pegram finishes the 2007 season in fourth place overall with 244 points, just three points behind third place at 247 points.
"I am excited to be on the podium in second place at the last race of the season. I wanted to win at Laguna, but it looks like I will have to wait until next year. The team's performance this year has been very strong, especially since the Mid-Ohio race. For the last four races we have consistently been in the hunt for a podium position. As a team, we accomplished a great deal this season making the best out of a late start and a limited budget. Next year we will be starting off strong, with solid sponsorship and full support of Ducati. I plan to win next year," said Pegram.
Larry Pegram came to Monterey early in the week for Ducati North America's Dealer meeting. Last week, Ducati North America announced an exclusive endorsement with Foremost Insurance (the team's associate sponsor) at the dealer meeting. Details about the new official insurance provider status can be found on the Ducati/Foremost Insurance web site at www.ducatiforemost.com. Senior executives from Foremost Insurance attended the dealer meeting and the race event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
The AMA Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme race will be televised on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 at 2 P.M. Eastern.
