Clarke to debut at HMS

Up-and-coming USAC driver Henry Clarke will join Davey Hamilton Racing for the Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka 100 at Homestead-Miami Speedway after successfully completing Firestone Indy Lights rookie testing at Kentucky Speedway on Sept. 22-23.

"He did a really good job," said Kevin Blanch, IZOD IndyCar Series technical director, who oversaw Clarke's rookie test. "He's an Impressive young driver and doing the right thing trying to get race experience before trying to race in Firestone Indy Lights full-time. I think he'll be an asset to the series when he gets there."

Clarke, the 2009 USAC National Sprint Car Rookie of The Year, claimed his first USAC national sprint car victory at Toledo in July. He currently ranks in the top 10 in both USAC National Sprint Car and National Midget points. The 21-year-old native of Villa Park, Calif., relocated to Indiana in May to race for Keith Kunz Motorsports in the USAC series.
