Career

Pegler started racing in the British leagues during the 1989 National League season, when riding for the Exeter Falcons, where he famously coined the term "right there right there". He struggled to establish himself in the team over the following seasons and it was not until the 1994 season that he was a regular in the Exeter team. [5] [1]

He rode in the top tier of British speedway during the 1995 Premier League speedway season, again for Exeter. After spending the following season in 1996 with Swindon Robins he signed for Newport Wasps. It was with the Welsh club that he would experience his best speedway years. Also in 1996 he rode for and topped the team averages for Swindon Sprockets during the 1996 Speedway Conference League. [1]

From 2000 to 2005, he rode for the Newport Mavericks and in 2000, Pegler won the Conference League Riders' Championship. The final was held on 9 September at Hayley Stadium. [6] [7] The following season in 2001 he finished runner-up to David Mason in the same Championship. [8]
