Young gun Ben Spies, 16, underwent surgery Friday afternoon at Dr. Dave Kieffer’s Gem City Bone & Joint clinic in Laramie, Wyoming, to plate the collarbone Spies broke during 750cc Supersport practice at Loudon, New Hampshire a week earlier.

Spies expects to race at Laguna Seca in two weeks.

Dr. Kieffer, a racer as well as an orthopedic surgeon, competes in selected AMA Pro Thunder events.
