PEGRAM AND DUCATI DOMINATE THE FIELD IN KANSAS SUPERBIKE
Topeka, Kansas (Aug 1, 2009) -- Foremost Insurance Pegram Ducati's Larry Pegram dominated the Saturday Kansas race and won his second AMA Pro American Superbike event of the year with a 2.184-second victory at Heartland Park Topeka. Mounted on a Ducati 1098R, "The Worm" motored off from his rivals, edging out to a lead of over four seconds in the opening laps to put his stamp on the event.
"For me, it's validation. At Road America, we beat maybe the best guy out there in a straight-up fight. To do it again and win here in Kansas, it proves to me we can win and it certainly feels great to do it. I always knew at the bottom of my heart I could win races if I could get on a bike capable and this Ducati 1098R certainly is capable. It's been a great machine since the day we picked them up at the dealership and began building them into race bikes. To win here at a track where there's more than just a fast straight is good, too. The entire team is really happy with this win."
As the laps counted down, Pegram chose to run a more measured pace with such a large lead and took the flag in front of Ben Bostrom.
"I saw 'four seconds' on my board and I thought it was good," said Pegram. "We had a big enough gap where I could be fairly careful with lapped traffic. I think we would have been able to run a stronger pace if needed and we might tomorrow but it's great to get another win today."
