LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati Picks Up a Fourth at Miller Motorsports in Utah Pegram Third Place Overall in Formula Xtreme Series Tooele, Utah (June 3, 2008) – Larry Pegram, of the LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati Team finished fourth this past weekend at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. The race at Miller was the fifth of the ten race series. Pegram is currently in third place overall with 138 points. Pegram started the race on the second row of the grid after qualifying in fifth with a lap time of 2:58.479. He had a strong start, but was not able to run the pace of the leaders. He finished fourth after battling with Aaron Gobert of Rockwall Honda. In 2007, Pegram pulled the holeshot at Miller Motorsports Park, but trouble with his front fork cost him and he finished the race in fourteenth overall, his second worst finish for 2007. Pegram’s practice times for the weekend were 2:53.498 on Thursday and 2:53.971 on Friday. “We seemed to move backwards on setup this weekend. We had the speed and set the second fastest top speed of 167 mph in FX practice. I think we found out what we were doing wrong and should have it nailed down for Road America,” commented Pegram. The Formula Xtreme race will be televised on SPEED Channel today, Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 12:00 PM ET (noon). The next race for the LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati Team will be June 7, 2008 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin (www.roadamerica.com).

More, from a press release issued by Rockwall Honda: BEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR FOR GOBERT AND ROCKWALL HONDA The Miller Motorsports Park round of the AMA Superbike Championship was the best one of the year so far for former AMA champion Aaron Gobert and the Texas-based Rockwall Performance team. Gobert took his best result of the year (fourth place) in a hotly contested AMA Supersport race and fifth place after an exciting battle in the Formula Xtreme race. In FX, Aaron charged through the field and fought with Larry Pegram and Cory West for fourth spot, just narrowly missing out after a protracted battle with Pegram that lasted until the checkered flag. His fifth place finish means Aaron is now seventh in the FX class points. In Pro Honda Oils Supersport, Gobert ran his quickest pace of the year in the nine-lap race that saw a group of six riders (from third to eighth position) cross the line within five seconds of each other. Aaron, mounted on the RockwallPerformance.com Honda CBR600RR, was the second of that pack to take the checkered flag and recorded his best result of the year, fourth place. “We’ve had a good weekend. Our results are improving each time out. We’ve gone to chasing some of these guys to racing them and now we need to beat them,” said Aaron. “The team has been working hard all year and we had some disappointments earlier in the season. Everyone on the team has their chin up after these two races. It makes it more rewarding when we see progress and I’m confident the team can give me what I need to win these battles out on the track. Even during the course of the weekend, we’ve found some more things to try for next time. We’re not where we want to be because we want to be winning races but our progress is clear. We’ll go to Road America and try to take the next step.” “It was nice to see Aaron up there battling,” said crewchief Gary Medley. “There’s no doubt Aaron is an outstanding racer. We’re trying to get him what he needs and it is clear we’re headed in the right direction. We have some more new stuff ready for Elkhart. The team is working well both at the shop and at the track and we’re happy with how it is going. Not satisfied yet but pleased at the progress.” Gobert and Rockwall Honda will race this weekend at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. More, from a press release issued by Yamaha Racing: Corser on the podium as Haga defies pain for points Troy Corser secured his fourth podium of the 2008 season after scoring second in race one, while his team-mate Noriyuki Haga overcame the pain and weakness of his multiple right collarbone fracture to take sixth place in race two, despite suffering yet another crash in the opening race at Miller Motorsports Park. In the first event, delayed by a starting grid mix-up between a few riders, Corser was only 2.8 seconds from his first win in Yamaha race colours, pushing hard once settled into position behind eventual leader Carlos Checa. He was a strong podium finisher, almost four seconds ahead of third placed rider, Michel Fabrizio. Haga’s bravery was rewarded for a time with a strong top five position, but he fell on lap six, luckily on the other side from his broken right collarbone. Shortly after, championship leader Troy Bayliss also fell, causing the following Corser to take sharp avoiding action. In the second race, again won by Checa, Haga was running fifth for much of the time, but got passed by Yukio Kagayama on the last lap. Corser was lying third until he fell on lap 17, losing the front on a fast left-hander, and he was unable to restart his machine. Bayliss had to withdraw from race two, scoring no points and throwing the championship wide open again. Haga is now fifth overall, on 122 points, with Corser one place back, on 121. Team YZF Yamaha rider Shinichi Nakatomi posted a 16th place finish in race one, just missing points, while Sebastien Gimbert (Yamaha GMT94) was 18th in race one, 17th in race two. David Checa was forced to retire on lap seven of race one and did not race in the second outing due to his recent injury. Troy Corser (2nd and DNF – Yamaha Motor Italia WSB Team) “The first race was pretty good and even the second one was going well although I was having to ride hard in the corners to make up the time. So I pushed a bit too hard. We changed the fork settings between race one and race two and it was better, but it gave a bit less warning. I felt I could have had another podium in that race. Race one was a good confidence booster but I just made a slowish start.” Noriyuki Haga (DNF and 6th – Yamaha Motor Italia WSB Team) “In race one I lost grip in the same corner as I did on Saturday. I think I opened the throttle a bit too much at maximum lean angle. In the end it was impossible for me to do more than I did in the second race. I scored ten points more than Troy Bayliss so that is the most important thing. Now I will have an operation to pin my collarbone and be ready for the next race. I was happy to race today because nobody thought I would be able to.” Massimo Meregalli (Team Manager, Yamaha Motor Italia WSB Team) “What Noriyuki did was like a miracle; I don’t remember anything like it. Probably he will go to California tomorrow to get an operation on his collarbone. Now we are waiting to see if we can schedule in the operation. Today we saw the Troy that we saw in the first two races of the year and I am very pleased about that. He really deserved his podium in race one. The championship is still open and we will start to make up more ground from the next race.” Martial Garcia (Team Manager Team YZF Yamaha) “Our choice of tyres was optimistic in race two and after ten laps it was finished. This tyre would have been good if the temperature was higher. We tried an ‘A’ solution and it was a gamble – but we lost. The bike was good and the top speed was fine, but we tried to make a jump and it was too much.” Race 1 – 21 Laps Pos., Rider, Manu., Nat., Total Time 1, Carlos Checa, Honda, ESP, 37’4.991 2, Troy Corser, Yamaha, AUS, 0’2.809 3, Michel Fabrizio, Ducati, ITA, 0’6.546 4, Max Neukirchner, Suzuki, GER, 0’7.764 5, Fonsi Nieto, Suzuki, ESP, 0’16.475 6, Jakub Smrz, Ducati, CZE, 0’17.126 7, Karl Muggeridge, Honda, AUS, 0’17.284 8, Yukio Kagayama, Suzuki, JPN, 0’17.416 9, Max Biaggi, Ducati, ITA, 0’18.117 10, Ryuichi Kiyonari, Honda, JPN, 0’20.467 11, Lorenzo Lanzi, Ducati, ITA, 0’21.742 12, Kenan Sofuoglu, Honda, TUR, 0’27.533 13, Gregorio Lavilla, Honda, ESP, 0’32.609 14, Ruben Xaus, Ducati, ESP, 0’33.165 15, Russel Holland, Honda, AUS, 0’34.182 16, Shinichi Nakatomi, Yamaha, JPN, 0’34.500 17, Ayrton Badovini, Kawasaki, ITA, 0’36.155 18, Sebastien Gimbert, Yamaha, FRA, 0’41.685 19, Makoto Tamada, Kawasaki, JPN, 0’43.579 20, Roberto Rolfo, Honda, ITA, 0’54.195 21, Jason Pridmore, Honda, USA, 1’0.388 22, Vittorio Iannuzzo, Kawasaki, ITA, 1’2.104 23, Scott Jenson, Suzuki, USA, 1’9.953 24, Loic Napoleone, Yamaha, FRA, 1’12.258 Race 2 – 21 Laps Pos., Rider, Manu., Nat., Total Time 1, Carlos Checa, Honda, ESP, 38’44.105 2, Max Neukirchner, Suzuki, GER, 0’3.547 3, Michel Fabrizio, Ducati, ITA, 0’6.613 4, Max Biaggi, Ducati, ITA, 0’7.878 5, Yukio Kagayama, Suzuki, JPN, 0’10.568 6, Noriyuki Haga, Yamaha, JPN, 0’11.539 7, Ryuichi Kiyonari, Honda, JPN, 0’18.381 8, Fonsi Nieto, Suzuki, ESP, 0’20.646 9, Regis Laconi, Kawasaki, FRA, 0’21.264 10, Lorenzo Lanzi, Ducati, ITA, 0’24.863 11, Karl Muggeridge, Honda, AUS, 0’25.672 12, Ayrton Badovini, Kawasaki, ITA, 0’31.711 13, Makoto Tamada, Kawasaki, JPN, 0’35.628 14, Kenan Sofuoglu, Honda, TUR, 0’42.816 15, Gregorio Lavilla, Honda, ESP, 0’45.034 16, Roberto Rolfo, Honda, ITA, 0’50.220 17, Sebastien Gimbert, Yamaha, FRA, 0’50.653 18, Jason Pridmore, Honda, USA, 0’51.188 19, Vittorio Iannuzzo, Kawasaki, ITA, 1’4.533 20, Scott Jenson, Suzuki, USA, 1’12.049 21, Loic Napoleone, Yamaha, FRA, 1’19.221 Rider Standings 01/06/2008 Pos., Rider, Manu., Nat., Points 1, Troy Bayliss, Ducati, AUS, 194 2, Carlos Checa, Honda, ESP, 166 3, Max Neukirchner, Suzuki, GER, 144 4, Fonsi Nieto, Suzuki, ESP, 126 5, Noriyuki Haga, Yamaha, JPN, 122 6, Troy Corser, Yamaha, AUS, 121 7, Ruben Xaus, Ducati, ESP, 92 8, Michel Fabrizio, Ducati, ITA, 87 9, Max Biaggi, Ducati, ITA, 85 10, Ryuichi Kiyonari, Honda, JPN, 80 11, Yukio Kagayama, Suzuki, JPN, 73 12, Gregorio Lavilla, Honda, ESP, 63 13, Lorenzo Lanzi, Ducati, ITA, 60 14, Jakub Smrz, Ducati, CZE, 51 15, Karl Muggeridge, Honda, AUS, 49 20, Shinichi Nakatomi, Yamaha, JPN, 16 23, Sebastien Gimbert, Yamaha, FRA, 6 24, David Checa, Yamaha, ESP, 5 Manufacturer Standings 01/06/2008 Pos., Manufacturer, Points 1, Ducati, 249 2, Yamaha, 201 3, Suzuki, 191 4, Honda, 185 5, Kawasaki, 51 More, from a press release issued by Corona Extra Honda: HOLDEN PODIUM CHARGE CONTINUES AT MILLER SUPERSTOCK RACE With the World Superbike circus, fans and media watching, Jake Holden rode a strong SuperStock race to put his Corona Extra Honda CBR1000RR on the box at Miller Motorsports Park this past weekend. Teammate Matt Lynn had a weekend to forget, falling in both SuperBike races but being able to finish the second after frantic pit repairs by his crew got him back out. The weekend started with a blistering performance by Holden to put his CBR1000RR on pole for the SuperStock event and setting the class lap record for the 4.5 mile track. Lynn also got up to speed posting ninth on the grid for SuperBike, his best qualifying position to date. In the first SuperBike race Matt quickly moved up the field to seventh, dicing with the factory Yamahas of DeSalvo and Bostrom. He got the better of DeSalvo on lap eleven and was closing on Bostrom when he lost the front end on lap thirteen and went down, finishing his race. Matt was uninjured. In SuperStock action, Jake had a tough start from his pole position and found himself fifth after the first lap. Typical of Jake he put his head down and chased the bikes in front moving up to second by lap three, a position he held for four laps until relinquishing it to Yates. Jake was unable to make a move back and settled for third spot on the box! Afterwards he said; “The bike was working great for the weekend but I was off a little on set-up for the race and just couldn’t push that little extra to get past Aaron (Yates)!” Holden is currently second in the championship points table. In the second SuperBike race it looked like the misfortune for Matt in race 1 was going to be made up he got a great start and was in seventh on lap one, ahead of Bostrom and DeSalvo. He passed Duhamel and Yates for fifth on the next lap and looked to be closing with a charge for fourth. He dropped a position on the next lap and was holding sixth when he again lost he front end. He restarted and rode back to the pits with only one handlebar. His crew working as if they were possessed got him back out again a couple of laps down. Matt ended up 19th. A very disappointed Lynn said; I was pushing the bike a lot harder in the race than practice so I was riding the front end harder. It started bottoming on a couple of corners and just put me down on a set of bumps!” Matt is ninth in championship points. In other event news, both World SuperBike races were won by Honda CBR1000RR’s, 2007 Corona rider Neil Hodgson put his factory Honda on the box in both SuperBike races and Jake Zemke, on the Honda CBR600RR’s, won both SuperSport and FX races – so a great weekend for Honda! More, from a press release issued by Millennium KWS Suzuki: Millennium/KWS Suzuki Battles Through Injury To Get Another Top Ten Finish. Daytona, FL March 2008 — Millennium/KWS Suzuki sponsored by Suzuki of Orangeburg’s Ben Thompson returned to action this week at Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, Utah. Thompson broke both of his hands in a crash at California Speedway five weeks earlier and had to have two titanium plates and fourteen screws installed in his right hand. Although healed, Thompson struggled with strength, endurance, and dexterity through out the weekend. Miller Motorsports Park is now the longest track the AMA Superbike series visits at almost 4.5 miles in length and its also one of the fastest with top speeds of over 185mph. With over twenty-one named turns and lap times approaching almost three minutes in length, there was plenty of action to thrill the fifty-thousand fans in attendance. In Superstock qualifying Thompson was able to turn a lap of 2:51.371 to qualify on the second row in the eight position on his Dunlop shod Suzuki GSX-R1000. Although Thompson’s hand got better with each session the team decided to focus its efforts on the Superstock class using the Superbike sessions for practice and testing. The Millennium Technologies team plans to return its focus to both Superbike and Superstock at Road America next week when Thompson’s hand should be closer to 100%. In the Superstock race Thompson got a great start and immediately found himself in a four bike battle for the top ten. Thompson rode a smart race, conserving his hand and saving his strength for the end. On the penultimate lap, Thompson passed Halof Suzuki’s Hawk Mazzotta for ninth position to finish with a solid top ten result. Ben Thompson “It was a good weekend overall. I was very happy to be back on the bike again. My right hand was really bothering me in the beginning, but with each session it got better and better. I think we will be back to our previous form at Road America next week. Michael Godin, Dustin Cyr, and Chip Spalding did a great job all weekend and the bikes were awesome. I want to thank all the sponsors and friends for the well wishes while I was recovering, especially the crew from Millennium Technologies.” Kevin Hunt (Team Owner) “The team did good this week. We came into the weekend knowing that we were behind the eight ball from the start and we had a goal of a top ten finish. Ben rode a smart race and we achieved our goals. It took Ben a while to get back up to speed physically and we expected that. Ben is a very tough rider and very focused. It is pretty amazing that he was able to do as well as he did considering the injury. Most of us wouldn’t have been able to ride to the store five weeks after that kind of surgery. I want to thank the sponsors for helping us out last week, especially LeoVince Exhaust, Suzuki and Pit Bull. This is a group effort between the team and the sponsors and we couldn’t do this without their help. I also want to wish Lee Acree a quick recovery. He is at home in North Carolina recovering and our thoughts are with him everyday. Get well soon Lee!” More, from a press release issued by Wyotech Suzuki: Aussie Dave anthony “turns up the throttle” at miller Murrieta, ca, June 2, 2008: Wyotech Suzuki’s Dave Anthony rides his number 25 GSXR 1000 to a well earned fifth place in the Superstock series and finishes ninth in his Superbike debut at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. After running in the top five in practice all week, Dave rode his Pirelli clad Suzuki to seventh in qualifying just behind Robertino Pietri by four hundredth of a second for round five of the Superstock series. Starting on the second row he powered his machine into turn one leaning in with the front pack showing them he was here to race! As the laps counted down, he settled in and rode to an exciting fifth place finish behind Chris Peris and Jake Holden for his best AMA career finish in 2008 moving him into the seventh spot in the points for the Superstock Championship only two points behind Blake Young for sixth. “Setting up the bike all year has been a challenge but with the help of Racetech, Pirelli and all our sponsors, we were able to stick the tire to the ground and put our Wyotech Suzuki consistently up front all weekend.” David explained “I came here with a new attitude and was ready to try and push what I have learned to the edge and ride the bike to its limits. Road America is the same kind of track, so were looking for a repeat next weekend.” Saturday and Sundays Superbike races were Aussie Dave’s first crack in to the Superbike series and proved to be a worthwhile experience finishing Ninth on Saturday and twelfth on Sunday. “a top ten finish on my first try was more than I expected but it only makes me want to go out there and do it again!” Dave says “we did good in practice and it felt like we could give it a serious go so I went out there and rode as hard as I could” Dave’s notable finishes puts him twenty second in the Superbike points chase and there is only room to go up from there. We would like to thank all of our following sponsors are proud to represent them with a great race weekend. More, from a press release issued by Safety First Racing: Safety First Suzuki Runs Up Front at Miller Safety First Suzuki continues to make progress at Utah. The team had a great weekend other than the end result of rider Bobby Fong crashing out of the Supersport race in 6th place. Team owner, Kevin Hanson commented on the weekend. “We rolled it out of the truck and didn’t really touch a thing on the bike. That has been the beauty of using the Traxxion Gas Cartridges in the forks and new Penske 8770 shock. We hardly make any changes to the bike anymore other than a spring change. It allows Bobby to just focus on riding,” stated Hanson. “Overall, we really had a great weekend with a lot of breakthroughs. Bobby has been struggling with getting a little excited during qualifying and not qualifying as well. This weekend he put it together and qualified 5th on a race tire without any help from anyone else. We know he has the speed to run up front, now it’s our job to keep working on his racecraft that involves everything besides going fast in order to put it on the podium. That’s the part that most people don’t understand. There are so many things for a young rider to learn to win races that don’t involve twisting the throttle. Thankfully, Bobby soaks everything up like a sponge that we throw at him and this kid is going to be a really, really good racer,” explained Hanson. Supersport Qualifying: 5th place “I just tried to relax and not get all revved up. For some reason, I’ve been psyching myself out when it came time to qualify. My rider coach, Owen Weichel, has really helped me get past that mentally and I went out this weekend and just did it on my own. I’m pretty stoked about that!” stated Fong. Supersport Race: DNF (Crash) “Man”¦I’m so bummed for all of my guys. They worked really hard all weekend and then I tossed it in the race. The bike was perfect and my Crewchief, Don Finelli, did a great job of getting the bike setup where we really don’t change anything when it comes out of the truck,” said Fong. “I just pulled a boneheaded kid move in the race. I got a good start and was sitting in fourth place riding comfortably and not really pushing it. Rapp dive- bombed me going into a corner and pushed me wide and Eslick got by as well. I got a little anxious trying to re-pass them and I don’t know if I clipped the curb or something, but I totally lost the front and chucked it. Thankfully, I’ve got some really good gear because I keep pounding my Taichi leathers into the ground and these things are still together without any tears or anything,” explained Fong. “I just need to relax more and focus on putting an entire race together. I’m not used to running this far up front, but at the same time it’s getting a lot easier to do the times. If you look at the times, I had the fourth fastest lap of the race and could have put it on the podium today. I really want to thank my mechanics Richard Cherney, Mike Neely and also Mike Morris. These guys gave me a great bike and I really wanted to reward them with a good result,” stated Fong. The team heads back to Safety First Racing headquarters at their Chicagoland shop in Arlington Heights, IL for an open house Tuesday, June 3rd before heading to Road America. Additionally, Hungarian rider, Gabor Rizmayer, will be returning from racing in the German Championship in Europe for Road America. Safety First Racing was formed in 2004 by police officer/racer, Kevin Hanson, based out of Chicago, IL. For 2008, Safety First Suzuki will be competing in the Supersport class in the AMA Superbike series Checkout www.SAFETYFIRSTRACING.com to see the latest line of apparel and performance products from Safety First Racing. Kevin Hanson continues to give away Bell bicycle helmets to elementary school children nationwide and educate children about the importance of helmet usage.
