So we've gotten through the first race of the day, which just finished a few minutes ago, and Larry Pegram, riding his Foremost Insurance/Pegream Racing Ducati, came from behind to overtake Jake "Earthquake" Zemke to win the 21-lap American Superbike feature race at Auto Club Speedway.
Pegram started on the front row alongside Tommy Hayden, John Hopkins and pole sitter Aaron Yates. However, Pegram started to make his moves midway through the race, moving from third up to first with about five laps to go, passing both Yates and Zemke on an outside pass.
After the race, all three came into the media center to talk about the weather conditions that forced the delay in the day's schedule and how the series has included the riders in the decision-making process with regards to the race delays. Larry Pegram made an interesting observation during his portion of the press conference, in mentioning a recent article that highlighted the Yoshimura racing team and the specialized staff the team employs, but still wondered how his, in essence, one-man operation still manages to beat them every race.
