Disciplinary action to be taken against Clarke

UPDATE This rumor is upgraded to 'fact.' Champ Car Race Director Tony Cotman announced that "Dan Clarke, who was put on probation after the San Jose race, will be barred from any further activity at this event and we will decide by next Friday whether he will be allowed to compete in Assen. I cannot tell you how many races he will be suspended. 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."

08/24/07 Rumor in the Champ Car paddock is that Champ Car is going to announce some disciplinary action against Dan Clarke. We expect to hear he will be sat out at least one day. Stay tuned…
