Riding with a broken left foot, Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki’s Marty Craggill won the Lockhart-Phillips USA Formula Xtreme race at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, Minnesota.

Graves Yamaha’s Damon Buckmaster, Bruce Transportation Group Honda’s Jake Zemke, Attack Suzuki’s Jason Pridmore and Craggill each led at some point during the 13-lap contest. Buckmaster collided with a backmarker on lap 11, dropping back to fourth. On the same lap, Craggill took the lead for the first time and held off determined charges by Zemke and Pridmore to take his first win in America.

Craggill said he was hampered early in the race when his injured foot slipped off the peg and banged against the peg; Craggill said after the race that he thought he may have rebroken the bones in the top of his foot, originally injured at Road America three weeks ago. Craggill said it took him several laps to shut out the pain, remember to breathe and recover his concentration.
