Motorcycle race
fans will have the opportunity to see the new livery for
LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati 848 Formula Xtreme race
bike at the legendary Infineon Raceway.
Just a few
miles from the headquarters of Ducati North America and Leo
Vince USA, the Bay Area race is home to two of Pegram
Racing’s title sponsors and legions of passionate Ducatisti.
With these factors in mind, the renowned Sonoma racetrack
presents a natural opportunity to showcase the innovative
new looks of Pegram’s 848 and reward the 'home' crowd with a
special treat.
Hebron,
Ohio-based, LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati is a
professional motorcycle road race team competing in the AMA
Superbike Championship Series. The team is owned and managed
by Larry Pegram, a third-generation motorcycle racer who
competes in the AMA Formula Xtreme class on a modified
Ducati 848. Additional information about the team can be
found on their
web site.
Designed by John Mockett , stylist of many motorcycles and
illustrator of the cartoon "Sprocket"; the 848’s new livery
is a bold departure from Pegram Racing’s traditional Ducati
racing scheme. Painted by John Bisson of Finishing Touch and
incorporating elements from historic Ducatis as well as the
OEM 848 coloring, the Mockett designed artwork strikes a
fresh direction that matches the vibrant personality of team
owner and rider Larry Pegram.
Said Larry: "With Round Four of the Championship being in
the backyard of two of my title sponsors, not to mention the
many Ducati fans in the Bay Area, Sears Point is the perfect
place to show off my new paint. I love it and hope everyone
will stop by to see it up close!"
The Formula Xtreme race will take place May 17, 2008 at
4:25pm at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. |
