Without throwing any gas on anybody's fire......... I saw Clauson win both features of the Joe James/Pat O'Connor memorial a couple of years ago, holding off none other than Dave Steele in the Midget race......... and that takes some balls.

I have seen him go from running Dad's car to giving the Kuntz brothers ride a workout, and wish nothing but success as he continues to ply his trade.

ps - It was nice to see him run some events during '08 Sprint Weeks (where he faired pretty well for himself)

Didn't Lord Sagamore create the IRL for guys like this??????
