The AMA Superbike racer will race with the AIM Autosport team in the Star Mazda Championship series presented by Goodyear, June 26-27 at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Grand Rapids, MI Foremost Insurance Group along with Tampa Bay Jaw Surgery and the AIM Autosport automobile racing team, announces that Larry Pegram will compete this weekend in the Star Mazda Championship series presented by Goodyear at New Jersey Motorsports Park, Millville, New Jersey. Although a longtime star on the AMA motorcycle circuit, this will be Pegram’s first appearance in a professional auto race. “I’m excited to get behind the wheel, I’ve never raced a car in competition,” says Pegram. “I have to thank all my sponsors, especially Walt Bowlins from Tampa Bay Jaw Surgery who set this whole thing up, the Foremost guys jumped right on board and the AIM Autosport team has been great. All that’s left is to get on the track and see what happens.” The Star Mazda Championship series presented by Goodyear is one of the top, open-wheel car competitions in North America, featuring standing starts and wheel-to-wheel racing at 150 mph.
