Larry Pegram, of the LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati Team finished fifth overall this past weekend at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. The race at Infineon was the fourth of the ten race series. Pegram is currently in third place overall with 111 points.
Pegram started the race on the second row of the grid after qualifying in seventh with a lap time of 1:38.357. He was in seventh place for the first four laps, and then he moved up to sixth on lap five where he stayed until lap 16 when one of the riders ahead of him dropped out with mechanical problems.
Oddly enough, Pegram also finished in fifth place in the 2007 race at Infineon Raceway.
Pegram's practice times for the weekend were 1:39.235 on Friday and 1:38.932 on Saturday.
"We had a rough weekend trying to get the bike dialed in. We didn't get to test at Infineon Raceway earlier in the season and we had problems finding the right setup so I could run with the leaders. I am not happy with the result, but it is still early in the season and we are still in the hunt for the championship," commented Pegram.
The next race for the LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati Team will be May 30, 2008 at Miller Motorsports Park, in Tooele, Utah www.millermotorsportspark.com
