Actually, it’s the same face, but Ohioan Larry Pegram has worn many different hats, helmets, team shirts, and even business attire over the years. He’s a flat tracker, motorcycle road racer, automobile road racer, team owner, promoter, and very successful business owner of an Ohio-based company in a burgeoning industry completely unrelated to motorsports.
On a personal note, Larry Pegram is one of the reasons why my family and I moved from New Hampshire to Ohio in 1997. We had previously lived about 45 minutes from my former home track in Loudon. We made the move to Ohio so I could live near Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, and two of my heroes, Tom Kipp and Larry Pegram, were Ohioans. Those three beacons drew me the Buckeye State like a moth to a flame.
But I digress.
Pegram’s racing career started on dirt, but he quickly added road racing to his repertoire.
Larry Pegram was born in Baltimore…but not that Baltimore. It’s the one in central Ohio, a small farm town with lots of fields of corn, soybeans, and rolling hills. He rode motorcycles from a very young age, started out on dirt tracks, and began his professional racing career in 1988, finishing as runner-up in the 1991 AMA 600 National Dirt Track Championship.
Adding road racing to his dance card during that same time period, Pegram also quickly made a name for himself on asphalt. He competed in both Supersport and Superbike right from the start, and in 1995, he joined Erion Racing in Supersport on a Honda CBR600F3 while also continuing to also race in flat track.
Pegram aboard his Foremost Insurance/Yamaha YZF-R1 Superbike.
From there, Pegram’s road racing career included stints with Yoshimura Suzuki, Fast By Ferracci Ducati, Competition Accessories Ducati, Hooters Suzuki, and the list goes on. In 2006, he formed his own Pegram Racing team and campaigned Hondas, Ducatis, BMWs, and Yamahas, with support from Foremost Insurance as one of his title sponsors.
Pegram even had his own reality television show called “Superbike Family,” which chronicles his racing exploits and included his wife Heather, father Jim and mother Mary, and his race crew and team personnel. The show provided a unique look into the life of an AMA Superbike racer and team owner, and it didn’t shy away from showing the difficulties of the sport, as well as the successes and light-hearted moments. Pegram was already popular for always “keeping it real” with the fans, but he continued that theme on TV (Larry is always going to be himself), and it made his popularity grow even more.
Racing for Erik Buell, Pegram campaigned an EBR 1190RX in AMA Pro Superbike, and then, in the FIM Superbike World Championship alongside teammate Niccolò Canepa.
In the past few years, Pegram started a company called Pure Ohio Wellness, and he was selected by the voters in Ohio (I actually voted for him) to be one of the few businesses selected to grow and process cannabis and cannabis by-products for medical use. Pure Ohio was immediately successful, and when Ohio also legalized cannabis for recreational use, Pegram and Pure Ohio was at the forefront. He employs a large workforce, works closely with the Ohio state government, and is a national leader in the industry.
Get your knee down, Larry! Pegram currently also races in IMSA with his daughter Riley in a Hyundai Elantra N.
And, he’s still racing. He and his daughter Riley, who is a rising talent in sports car racing, have been competing together as an endurance team in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge’s TCR class. They race a Hyundai Elantra N in the series.
Last year, aboard his Team Hammer/Pegram Racing Suzuki GSX-R750, he finished on the podium in MotoAmerica Supersport at his home track, Mid-Ohio. He’s also road raced in Stock 1000 at Road America, the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship at Laguna Seca and COTA, and he’s continued to race in American Flat Track when he has “spare” time.
He’s back at Mid-Ohio this weekend, racing in Supersport for Team Hammer once again on a Suzuki GSX-R750.
Larry Pegram will turn 52 years old next month, and he is showing no signs at all of slowing down. You can’t stop Larry Pegram, you can only hope to contain him. And, by “contain him,” it would only be in the confines of a race track, his race shop, or his businesses.
Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Cameron Beaubier set the fastest lap at 1:23.662 to to take the MotoAmerica Superbike pole at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday. Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong, Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Jake Gagne, Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly, and Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin completed the top five.
Marc Marquez won the MotoGP Tissot Sprint race Saturday afternoon at Red Bull Ring – Spielberg, in Austria. Riding his Lenovo Team Ducati Desmosedici GP25 on Michelin control tires, the six-time MotoGP World Champion won the 14-lap race by 1.180 seconds.
Alex Marquez was the runner-up on his BK8 Gresini Racing Ducati Desmosedici GP24.
Pedro Acosta finished third on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.
Poleman, Marco Bezzecchi finished the race fourth on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP25.
Acosta’s teammate, Brad Binder got fifth.
Marc Marquez leads the championship with 393 points, 123 ahead of Alex Marquez who has 270 points. Bagnaia is third with 213 points.
Marquez continues victory run as Bagnaia suffers DNF. It was a Marquez battle for the win as Acosta hands KTM a home Sprint rostrum in Austria.
The unbeaten run continues. Championship leader Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) was made to work for it from the second row, but in the end, the #93 beat Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) to Tissot Sprint glory by just over a second. Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) bagged a third straight top three after coming from Row 3 to P3 in KTM’s backyard, as Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) endures a torrid Saturday afternoon.
Lights out: Bagnaia suffers disastrous start.
Off the line, it was an absolute disaster for both Bagnaia and Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) as both lit up the rear tyre big time, costing the riders in P3 and P6 a colossal chunk of time. Alex Marquez, meanwhile, grabbed the Sprint lead ahead of Marc Marquez, with Acosta passing Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) for P2 at the beginning of Lap 2 at the same place where on the opening lap, Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) was forced to run wide. That saw the reigning Champion drop to P15, one place behind Pecco.
Alex VS Marc for the win
After the opening few laps, Alex Marquez was keeping Marc Marquez behind him by just under half a second, with Acosta losing touch after a small mistake at Turn 4. The #37 was now 1.3s behind the Marquez duo, and had a decent one second buffer to fourth place Bezzecchi in the fight for bronze.
Then, a change at the front. The #93 got a great run out of Turn 2B and made a move stick at Turn 3 with five laps to go, so could the #73 do anything in response? The answer with three laps to go was a firm no. Marc Marquez grew his advantage to 0.7s, but the red corner did have a track limits warning.
But, as expected, no mistakes came from Marc Marquez as he extended his incredible winning run to 11 on the spin in 2025. Alex Marquez crossed the line in P2, 1.9s ahead of Acosta, who kept Bezzecchi at bay.
Your points scorers
Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) handed KTM a double Sprint top five on home turf, with Aldeguer salvaging a solid P6 after his messy start. Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) collected the final points on offer, with Martin doing well to claw his way back up to P10.
Another victory in the bag then for Marc Marquez. Can anyone stop the runaway title race leader from pocketing a 12th win in a row on Sunday?

September 12, 2025
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
