Champ Car suspends Clarke for Belgian race
Dan Clarke lived up to his nickname on Friday and it will cost him a chance to race this weekend in Belgium.
The Champ Car driver, who goes by the nickname 'Speedy', has been suspended for this weekend's race after triggering a four car crash in the morning practice session at Zolder.
Champ Car Race Director Tony Cotman will make a decision in one week's time as to Clarke's status for next week's event in the Netherlands.
"This morning's incident was totally unacceptable and completely avoidable," said Cotman. "Dan was already on probation after previous incidents in San Jose which helped lead me to my decision today. After the weekend is complete and I have a time to review the incident without the raw emotion of the moment, I will make a decision as to any further penalties against Clarke."
