World-class competitor Larry Pegram signed a deal putting the Pegram Racing Ducati 848 Superbike on Pirelli Diablo Slicks, for his challenge for the 2008 AMA Formula Xtreme championship. Pegram rode Dunlop during his 2007 campaign.
Pegram, AMA Superbike race winner, former World Supersport racer and flat-track racer, said, "We did some pre-season testing at Jennings on a few different Pirelli compounds and nearly broke the track record on a dirty track. The whole team's excited to get out racing and see how well we go against the competition. We're already faster than last year so we're looking forward to a great season."
2007 Daytona 200 winner Steve Rapp will be defending his crown for Attack Kawasaki on the ZX-6R. Joining Rapp on the team is Welshman Chaz Davies, each rider to compete in Formula Xtreme and Supersport. In 2007 Rapp finished second overall in the FX championship on Pirelli tires, complementing that performance with fourth in the Supersport championship. Davies has already set the fastest laps on race tires at Daytona and Fontana testing in FX and Supersport.
