Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Peggy Llewellyn confirmed she will return to the tour in 2008 and for her,
the sooner will be better.
“I'm doing some networking,” Llewellyn said. “I am borrowing a bike from Matt Guidera and we're trying to put something together. I figure, if I get out here and show my face people will know I want to race.”
Llewellyn has one national event to her credit with a triumph at last season’s NHRA Fallnationals in Dallas, Texas aboard Karl Klement’s Buell. The team owner elected not to renew her contract for 2008 and instead signed Angelle Sampey. Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Peggy Llewellyn confirmed she will return to the tour in 2008 and for her,

She’s unsure of the number of races on her schedule but unless something changes for the better, she’ll race unsponsored.
“That's kind of our plan, so we're trying to find the funding for that, but I'm looking not for just a couple races but for the rest of the
season; whatever we can salvage,” Llewellyn admitted.
Llewellyn confirmed she’s pulling out all the stops marketing herself. She even jokes she’s so aggressive she’s knocking people down.
After watching the success enjoyed by former Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Antron Brown, now a Top Fuel driver, could she entertain traveling the same path?
“Maybe not fuel cars but Pro Stock is a possibility,” Llewellyn said. “I love motorcycles and I really haven't finished up what I wanted to do there. But, you never know, I am not closing the door on any opportunity.”
