"I'm kind of excited to see what doors open up for me. I have a unique resume in this sport right now.

Cassill is now a free agent and will have to take his 253 Cup series starts and his social media proficiency to a new team next year.

The 28 year old Cassill is continuing to take the news in stride. Responding to a story confirming the news on Twitter:
