Just heard that the legendary Knoxville and Husets flagman has passed away.

Born and raised in Sioux Falls, SD, Clark worked the flagstand a Knoxville for close to four decades, racked up 30 years of service at Husets, and was hired on occasion by Ted Johnson to flag World of Outlaws events all over the country.

Perhaps what was more amazing was the fact that Clark managed the task with only one eye, having lost one in a gardening incident in his youth.

Clark was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2016, and the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame in 2022, and is survived on the flagstand by his son Justin, who followed in his father's footsteps.

RIP
