Bloomquist return? Back surgery?

**Escobar** · 04-19-2023, 03:09 PM

Has anyone heard anything about Scott returning?

**Tireguy17** · 04-19-2023, 05:57 PM

Not a peep on a popular Facebook fan group page I follow

**ZERO25** · 04-21-2023, 04:57 PM

To quote him from his xr podcast......."I'm getting ready for one last kickass round......real soon!"

**bleedblue55** · 04-21-2023, 05:10 PM

Returning to the announcer role? His other career ended years ago.

And I'd like the McRib to come back at 1/2 price. Some things are just a pipe dream.

I�d eat the box it comes in first, those things could double as flip flop bottoms�..I�ve tried to like them over the years, but nope.

Would be cool to see bloomer get some relief with his health and back issues and get a few more good runs in.

If he gets serious with his health, diet, rehab and fitness, then I don't see why he can't make e successful return. However the longer he's gone and not behind the wheel, no matter how good you were, all that time away gets harder and harder to bounce back. I'd like to see him make it back and go out on his own terms when he's ready. The boo's, the dope, the body abuse has to stop if he has any hope of a comeback.

**LM1M** · 04-22-2023, 05:07 PM

Besides the health, he no longer has the money to field a competitive team.

**foxfire2dirtracing** · 04-23-2023, 08:02 AM

^^^^Exactly!!

**Black F** · 04-23-2023, 08:47 AM

them are some darn good "flip flop bottoms" but you're right bbq.

same could be said with the rest of McDonald's menu as well.

**Black F** · 04-23-2023, 09:29 AM

bloomy back in a race car? lol, come on. 10 years ago, yeah. since he crashed his bike, nope. the dude is a legend but funding or not, it ain't hapnin'! not on a competitive level. does he have more to offer this sport? you bet he has, plenty! now more then ever with his flexible schedule, hes capable of helping put together one hell of a racecar/ team.

you gotta keep him out of Vegas though!!

If Bloomquist showed up fit and sober to PRI and made the rounds I don't think he'd have any trouble attracting some backing, but these half efforts only hurt him further and make any serious comeback unlikely. If he'd apply the same focus and intensity to his health/fitness that he use to with his racing, then the sky is the limit. Its in his hands, but nothing that comes from a bottle or at the end of a scalpel is going to get him where he needs to be physically/mentally. Just saying I think the skill and knowledge are still there, but metaphorically his frame is bent front and rear, the shocks are bent and leaking and the engine is smoking and missing on at least 2 cylinders and all 4 tires are bald. Nobody, no matter how great could make that work, an overhaul is a must. Time will tell if the GOAT wants to mount a serious comeback or become a cautionary tale. I hope he chooses the former. The last chapter isnt written on Black Sunshine, but the previous chapter was bleak.

**ZERO25** · 04-23-2023, 11:29 AM

Appears he's getting some backing from WV!

**foxfire2dirtracing** · 04-23-2023, 12:43 PM

That�s the word on the street.

**Raceready** · 04-23-2023, 01:23 PM

10-4 on the Mickey McRibs ! I'd sooner pick on up a package of those there Lloyds pre-packaged ribs with the sauce already on them. Just take em home and heat n' eat ! Is the Old Bloomy guy gonna take another Moonshot, this time in a Rocket ?

**ZERO25** · 04-23-2023, 03:32 PM

I can hear Bruce burning metal already!

Afterall, he just posted a shipment of Rocket notched tubing and crossmembers!

I wouldn't want them to come back if they were free!!!

If Scott was smart, he would collaborate with the other team on his property. Shane and Dale are Scott's last lifeline to being successful in this sport since everyone else left. Move Scott's major sponsors over to the 17M, build a few chassis and get a few guys involved (Owens), and kick a little @ss. The 17M has showed the chassis is still competitive, Scott just cannot field a good team anymore.
