    Good points by everone, maybe back then when Jimmy was winning everything he was Scott's biggest competition. That doesn't explain why he won't sell one now. If Jimmy was in a SBR car he would be a title contender for sure, and SBR is what Madden said when talking about the car he was driving in victory lane, no Sweet-Bloomquist...

    Jimmy did have alot/most of his success in Team Zero cars, but he also had Chris Fox turning wrenches.

    If I remember correctly, when the whole Team Zero thing came along, all the Zero cars were expected to park next to each other and share information regarding set up. Everything was up for discussion except for tires. You could do your own thing tire wise and not have to share it.

    I've heard several different stories as to what caused the divide between 0 and 20. If you go back and look at some of the old pictures, all the Zero cars were together but the 20 would be somewhere else. I've heard Jimmy got mad because the others wouldn't share tire strategy and I've heard that the others got mad because Jimmy wouldn't share set up. Who knows? I can't remember if the "he said, they said" stories started before or after the 0 and 20 traded paint at a Winchester, VA Lucas race.

    they can expect all they want , but if it is bought and paid for by me , then its mine and i will do what i want with it ...one thing i have always wandered is why jimmy has not jigged up and built his own chassis , he does own a chassis shop , he did tell me one time that when he started slowing down with the racing , he would probably dable around with building one , but who knows........

    The real question here is... when does Jimmy start making LG2 late models?

    He's driven every chassis under sun the sun. Surely he could come up with something that fits his "style". Start small and exclusive like Scott and see what happens. Plus i believe he and Marlar are really good friends. What a combo those 2 would be.

    I don't want to start some conspiracy theory here. But, rumor has it... That Bloomer will have a three car team next year. Don't know if there is any truth to it. But, that's what I was told.

    To me that’s a horrible mistake if there’s any truth to it.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    Default Bloomer/Jimmy

    I’d love to see Jimmy back in Scott’s cars. But some have elaborated on the reasons why it isn’t probably going to happen.

    Jimmy parking away and not sharing information. That is part of the agreement, two way street.

    Two, running better than Scott most of the time. I to remember when Scott complained about Jimmy not being a team player.

    My main one, he ran into this with Blankenship, is Jimmy trying to copy the cars in his shop.

    The new shirts say Scott Bloomquist racing, no mention of Sweet. There is a Facebook pic of Scott and Chris wearing them. I feel that Cody Sommers is/will be making changes for the better with Bloomquist racing.
