Team Foremost Pegram Racing has arrived and begun preparations for the third round of the AMA Pro Racing American Superbike Championship; to be held this weekend at the Road Atlanta road course in Braselton, Georgia.

Team owner and rider Larry Pegram is entering this weekend’s doubleheader confident he can return his Ducati 1098 R to the podium and fight for race wins. Despite a major highside collision at Fontana’s Auto Club Speedway two weeks ago -leaving him severely bruised- Pegram is upbeat about this weekend’s races.

“The crash at Fontana hurt pretty bad,” commented Pegram. “I guess you could say I made the podium in race two out of sheer stubbornness; as I was in pain the whole time. I’m pretty bruised up and haven’t trained since, but I should be good to go once I get back on the bike tomorrow. The Ducati will be fast here so I’m planning on scoring as many points as possible to make up a few spots in the championship.”

This weekend’s races mark the series return to road courses after two consecutive superspeedway rounds. Qualifying begins tomorrow at noon; and both races can be seen April 11th at 10pm EST on SPEED.
