Landon Cassill is suing BK Racing for unpaid winnings and other fees<\/a> owed to him after he drove for the team in the 2012 season. Cassill was told in mid-January that he would not return as a driver for the second-year team.<\/p>\n

A lawsuit was filed last month in North Carolina Superior Court in Charlotte against BK Racing and owner Ron Devine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really hated to go the legal route but at the end of the day I\u2019m ultimately asking to be paid what I earned last season,\u201d Cassill said in a statement. \u201cI was excited to race for BK in 2013 and was disappointed when my contract was not renewed for this season.”<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, it is stated that a performance-based clause in his contract included a minimum payout of $500,000. After the season was over, his earned $355,000 of that. Cassill claims that he is still owed $145,000.<\/p>\n

David Reutimann replaced Cassill in the No. 83 BK Racing entry. Cassill moved onto a part time ride with Joe Falk in the No. 33 Chevrolet. The No. 33 entry is shared with Richard Childress Racing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
