Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki’s Jason Pridmore was taken to a local hospital after crashing during promoter practice Thursday at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Pridmore fell in an odd place, on the uphill straight between turns five and six, when the front brakes of his Superstock GSX-R1000 locked up suddenly during a practice session just after lunch time. According to MJM Suzuki Team General Manager Kenny Abbott, the former World Endurance Champion and AMA Formula Xtreme Champion suffered abrasions to his left elbow and an injury to his right foot. As a precaution, Pridmore was taken to a local hospital to have the abrasion in his elbow cleaned thoroughly, as any sort of infection could have severe implications in his current state. Neither the extent of Pridmore’s foot injury nor the cause of his crash was known to Abbott at post time. Thursday was Pridmore’s first attempt at re-joining the AMA series since suffering a ruptured spleen (which required emergency life-saving surgery) in a crash at Barber Motorsports in April.
