Under NASCAR sanction, Bloomquist would have kept Dream win

[Returning to Dirt]

NASCAR allows drivers to keep wins when their cars fail post-race inspection then issues fines and other punishments. Dirt racing typically takes wins away.

This column offers a comparison of the two using Bloomquist at Eldora and Kasey Kahne at Charlotte as examples.

[Highside Hustler25]

well, this is not NASCAR

[huskerdirt]

And Bloomquist isn't running for UMP points. So if UMP decided to fine and take points for him. What good would that do?

I think the comparison is horrible.

[pkracer]

Wish people would just let this go with Bloomquist. He screwed up. Why do you think he hasn't said anything about it?

[Nasty55]

well, this is not NASCAR



You got that right HH... No nascar in dirt track here...

[hygty]

amen to that

[MJD1rtBurner]

If anyone thinks that an added 25 lbs would have made that big of a difference in the outcome of that race; people really need to step back and reevaluate! Either way they would have crossed the line in the same order. Period.

[hygty]

it doesn't matter when you are light you are light end of story

[MJD1rtBurner]

Yes, what was I thinking?!

[Goodwrench]

Maybe he needs to go run NASCAR then.

[Pennsboro23]

The fastest car still won. Had Owens not been there at the end, the race was over. Davenport was coming.

[zyoung25]

If your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle, is basically what the story boils down to.

Some of these stories are worth reading, I hope they don't keep these nascar comparisons up.

[PushinTheLimit]

Did anyone actually read the article? The writer basically sums it up at the end that if there are rules, everyone must follow them no matter who or what the infraction is. You break the rules, you don't deserve the win.

[Oley Wilkersen]

Oh sure why not make this nascar officiated that wouldn't be the cat's ass now wouldn't it? I'll take two, please:rolleyes: :D

Do you mean that everyone would face the same consequences .....NO MATTER WHAT THEIR LAST NAME MIGHT BE???

That's a novel idea..............someone should suggest that at the next wrg board meeting.

[Barbecueboy]

And if nascar sanctioned the dream , the stands would be half empty, the hot dogs would be triple the price and the racing , qualifying and points battle would be nascar-like.

Oh goody!!!

[Oley Wilkersen]

Wonder how car counts would look? Lol

[Kwd1253]

the very last thing we need nascar in dirt late model.

[MJD1rtBurner]

How many dirt tracks does NASCAR in fact sanction under the Whelen All American Series? Isn't Cedar Lake one right off the top of my head along with at least another seven or eight for sure?

[BadlandsBandit12]

I doubt it, 25 pounds is 25 pounds. Davenport would have won. there is a reason why 2300 is a rule!

[MJD1rtBurner]

I don't care what if it's 5000 lbs, you add 25 lbs to that race car and they would have crossed the stripe in the same order. Ronnie Milsap could see that!!

A lot of them. But unlike IMCA, NASCAR lets the tracks set there own car specifications rules as they see fit.

A late model at Cedar Lake is different than a Late Model at I-80 as far as the rule/engine package.

How would you know the 0 car wasn't 25 pounds lighter than the other competitors for the entire 100 laps? If it was, then of course there was an advantage. Doesn't matter if it was Bloomer or Mikey Waltrip.

Thought you wanted everyone to "shut up" about all this? Glad you joined in tho. You made a good point here.

[pkracer]

The whole point is it is over. Lets all move on to something else.

[Oley Wilkersen]

Well at least you aren't telling us to "shut up" about it Lol!!!

[shaggy20]

And we continue to beat a dead horse. Let it go already

[153J]

its bloomquist, its wont get let go for a long time
some will move on if/when he wins this weekend
some will continue on with it in some fashion if/when he doesnt win this weekend
only way to stop it will be if/when he wins the world in sept, itll all get brought up again then anyhow, even by every media outlet
so itll be a while before it gets let go

[tb1545]

Also under NASCAR sanction...the pre tech would be a whole lot more in depth, and bloomer would weigh more than 3/4 of the field since they weigh cars without drivers and bloomer is far from the smallest driver.
And since this is all hypothetical B.S..... Sunshine and fairy dust sprinkles for everyone!

[Oley Wilkersen]

And we continue to beat a dead horse. Let it go already

We can't... we (except for a few) are on a mission see. We want more, and more!!! Why don't you?

You couldn't be more wrong.

I don't care what if it's 5000 lbs, you add 25 lbs to that race car and they would have crossed the stripe in the same order. Ronnie Milsap could see that!! well I don't care if he or anybody else is 5 oz light light is light next thing wouldbe a 8 and half inch spoiler legal any size tire would be legal rules are rules

True! Any racer worth his salt, knows the 25lbs didn't win Bloomer the race! It sure as heck, cost him the race though!

[RayburnBaby]

Too late for that. Why you think cars cost 40,000+ an motors now Cost 45,000+. NASCAR drivers an teams have already trickled down into dirt. People at first thought it would be a good thing because of the publicity but in fact it's driven the cost up to where most average people can't afford it.

[hygty]

but guess what some ole man from ga built the winning motor congrats to the Rumleys and JD

[hygty]

doesn't have to be a game changer its just a bad deal for him but rules are rules if you let that go then WHY HAVE RULES
