URG, PA , JULY 2
fter a nearly 40-year absence, the
'f AMA Grand Nationa l Charn p i..
onship Series returned to the historic Williams Grove Speedway; similarly, Team Undo's Larry Pegram made a
return of his own - to the front of the
pack. .A horrendous road-race crash at
the start of the 1993 season saw Pegram
si t o ut most of the Grand N a tio n al
Champ ionsh ip series with multiple
injuries. Since returning to the d ir t,
Pegram had thus far failed to regain the
form that once carried him to two Grand
National wins.
The "Grove," a longtime staple on
the Pennsy lvania sprint-ear circuit, was
a sight for Pegram's sore eyes, as the
10
(Above) Larry Pegram, Aaron Hili and ,
Kenny Coolbeth Jr. were all smiles In the
winner's circle. (Right) Larry Pegram (72)
passed Aaron Hill (17) early In the
National and raced away uncontested.
