He won 4 times that season, which co-led the division, and earned Rookie of the Year honors. Over the next decade, Cassidy led the Mini Stocks in wins in 9 different seasons.

He won his first championship in 2007 after a 6 win season, the repeated as Champion in 2008 with a 4 win season. A third title came in 2010. During this era, Cassidy and 3-time champion Danny Field had a very competitive rivalry on the track.
