Bloomquist said he see the 32 on the board behind him and he knew he would be on the cushion. I get what he said and I'm sure a lot of other people did also. Basically he meant that's the only place the kid can run. The corners at Florence are cupped and when the track slicks over the cushion is a bunch faster. The drivers that run up front week in and week out search for the best line, keep the car straight and feather the throttle to make speed. Every driver in the pits knows Pierce, Shepherd, And Davenport aren't a factor without the cushion. The kid has tore up more cars than Ernie Ervin in his prime lol. You Pierce fans kill me. The kid will never win a championship in the Lucas series. Davenport has a very smart crew chief and that's what keeps him in the game. The Cushion won't be there to save his aRse at Batesville. Just another silver spoon that knows when he tears his stuff up daddy will fix it. Big win but I'm not impressed

I can tell you don't know much about sheppard or Pierce because I have seen both of them run the bottom and win more than once. The kid is only 18 and to say he will never win a lucas championship you could be right because he may never be in Dirt Late models long enough to find out but, lets say he is I would bet if he gets the right backing he would win a championship. They said the same thing about Davenport and guess what he did.

Those old men don't have the kahonas to run up there...it's a lot more stressful...no room for error....and you tear up some quarter panels...that's what you get...it's fast and throttle jockeys like it...but to say Bobby can't run anywhere else is ludicrous

so why didn't bloomquist go to the cushion and make pierce beat him on the bottom? not impressed? that's too bad. can't say I've approved of some of the passes I've seen him make, but he's fun to watch.And the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, well, I have really good days - Ray Wylie Hubbard

Bloomquist had the show me won on the top and his left rear fell of. Went to the pits and came back to second in 9 laps. Macdowell said after the north south that the car was too tight to run up top. Bloomquist runs his car straighter/tighter than most and that's the reason he has a 70% plus top 3 finish throughout his career. The cushion can be exciting at times but you have to have more in the bag than just the cushion to win championships unless your Davenport but the Rumleys made that guy a champion. Pierce has buckets of balls but he isn't a great driver. Too bad Scott isn't in his 20s because he would (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) this kid down for many years to come. The guys that win do it from bottom to top but try to stay off the cushion. 0,21,17m,25. Those are the best ever to do it. You must forget that in I believe 88 bloomer showed up to the world 100 for the first time ever seeing Eldora and won the show with a very limited budget. Show me a race for 10k or more that Pierce won on the bottom.. I'd love to see it

and when young mr. pirce is as old as bloomquist, he probably won't be bangin' the cushion either. but it got him the big check this weekend when the veteran tried to block running the middle. and i'm not even a young bobby fan!And the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, well, I have really good days - Ray Wylie Hubbard

I will give you Pierec is not a great driver but, neither was some of the guys that are really great drivers now at his age. It takes time to develope into a great driver but, you have to admit was he is doing is very exciting and people want to buy a ticket just to see what he does next and that is a good thing for the sport. Promoters are glad to see him show up at their tracks.Originally posted by Centeroff View PostBloomquist had the show me won on the top and his left rear fell of.

Old fan.. This one is just for you. At the age of 19 I was serving my country and protecting you and your loved ones in the United States Air Force in an elite special forces brotherhood called combat control. My first son was born just 2 months and 8 days after 9-11-01 happened. I wasn't here to be with him nor did I see him for months and months. When I first seen him he was around a year old and he didn't know who I was. So keep laughing your old ass off because the jokes on you prick! You know what's crazy?? I'd do it again
