Cassius Clark a free agent

I find it hard to believe that Cassius Clark will be out of a car for very long.

After winning 10 races together in 5-plus seasons of PASS competition, Clark and car owner Ed Chapman have agreed to part ways. The announcement came down this week, just 4 months after a brief 2-day split back in April.

“It just wasn’t really working out. That’s about it really,” said Clark, who will not be in Halifax this weekend for the Atlantic Cat 250 at Scotia Speedworld. “There’s no hard feelings. I just thought it was best for me to head in a different direction now, that’s all.”

Clark said he has no definitive plans for the remainder of the season, but he is exploring all of his options. He won twice this year -- once at Scotia and once at Speedway 95, where he was disqualified in post-race technical inspection and stripped of the victory.

The Clark-Chapman marriage apparently became rocky in April, when, just days before the start of the season at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, Clark said he was informed he no longer had a car to drive for Chapman. They reconciled within days and were at Beech Ridge.
