He would have been a contender if he hadn't missed staging for his heat.
Bloomquist missed the pill draw and drivers meeting and wasn't allowed to hot lap or time trial and had to tag the rear of a heat. He looked bad in the heat, finished 7th. Something caused the kill switch to fire coming to the green (starting 3rd in the B) and coasted to a stop in turn 1. Re-fired and tagged the rear. Came up to 7th, looked pretty good in the last 8 laps, but missed the show. No points for qualifying also means he had no shot to make up that deficit for todays heats and he will again start on the tail of a heat. The good news is, Friday begins a fresh points battle toward Saturday.
Strickler was a miscommunication somehow, they thought they were in the next heat.
Bloomer, well, no comment I guess. Just ridiculous.
Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
