Team AMSOIL pro road racer Larry Pegram thrilled his local fans by taking the lead into the first corner at the AMA Pro Road Racing event in Ohio last weekend.
The Ohio-native lead for the first lap before Tommy Hayden took over, passing Pegram on lap two and proceeded to lead the next six laps. By this time, Josh Hayes had passed Pegram and was shadowing Hayden’s every move for the remainder of the race.
Pegram was able to take what he felt was a satisfying third place finish ahead of Saturday’s second-place finisher Ben Bostrom. As with the first two, Bostrom kept the pressure on Pegram all day but just couldn’t find a way by the AMSOIL rider.
After another strong start to the race, Jake Zemke with his National Guard Jordan Suzuki found himself battling with teammate Canadian Brett McCormick on the #23 Jordan Suzuki. These two ran nose-to-tail for the last part of the race and McCormick continued his nice progression in the sport by passing Zemke on the last lap.
