Larry Pegram Wins Fontana AMA SBK Race 1

Larry Pegram, on the Foremost Insurance/Pegram Racing Ducati 1098R, won race one this
afternoon in Fontana, CA., at the Auto Club Speedway. Pegram beat Jake Zemke to the line by .094 seconds to win his first AMA American Superbike race of the year after a stellar 2009
season.
Activities for the day were delayed almost from the start due to high wind gusts up to 45 mph in the area the flipped an awning over a tractor trailer in the paddock and loosened a large section of airfence on the outside of the track. The AMA was able to revamp the schedule late in the afternoon, qualifying stood in all classes after yesterday's first day results, and Aaron Yates started his second round of 2010 racing from the pole due to setting fast time on Friday afternoon.
