Bloomquist and the modified nationals

[GrocMax]

Race monitor sez .018 sec behind Auckland for 3rd. It was close but they usually defer to transponder rather than visual. Its entirely possible to an eyewitness he finished 2nd depending on angle etc. https://www.race-monitor.com/Results/Session/5873037 Clearly 3rd place here. Let the Bloomer conspiracy theories commence! That is weird.

doesn't show up in b-main lineup:

please tell me no provisionals. if so, it's bull$hit.

given that the 10 racers (cream of the crop) locked in on Thursday, that check doesn't say "owens" or "bloomquist" on it yet.

[GrocMax]

That "0-Hensel" may actually be Bloomquist. that's about where his points put him. The mobile app results are entered by a human and prone to error. Note Johnny Scott 8th to 3rd just barely missed a top 12 start #1 in a B.

Bloomquist is locked in the feature

It does. They gave the spot to Bloomquist. Aukland starts outside front row in B4 I think.

I hate to burst any bubbles but Scott finished 2nd in his heat race. Its official. Sorry GrocMax. He passed Aukland on the last lap. Aukland made a run there at the end but Scott was ahead at the line.

[GrocMax]

I wonder if Auckland knows he was 2nd by transponder data? There aren't many screwups its a seldom thing but they do happen. Regardless still ain't in the show. yet.

[Centeroff]

You the man Josh. Keep up posted if possible

[MI Dirt Fan]

It's still just the qualifying show...

It's seat time.

Definitely is, but I was more referring to these people thinking he is going to walk all over these mod guys.

I'm one of them. I hope he can. But I'm not going to be disappointed of he doesn't. It's a great opportunity to step out and race something else and meet some other people he's never met.

Oh theres no doubt about it that Scott and Jimmy both can drive the wheels off of anything they put their a$$ess in but this here is not going to be as much of a cake walk as all the Bloomquist fans or us Owens fans seem to think it is going to be... they are on what is suppose to be level playing fields now but im sure that theres some funny business going on in both camps... just sayin..

[GregA12]

Not to change the subject but it's cool to see Aukland running around around the area with is his familiar #12A. Simple white and blue car like old days too. Looks like it's out of the Arneson stable in Fargo. Man did he dominate in MN, WI, and the Dakota in a Late and Mod...and even a 360 sprint at Cedar Lake.

[RoundNrOUND]

There's so many details that I wouldn't even be using yet if I was guaranteed a spot in a show like that, if that's what's going on here with Jimmy and Scott. I can think of 2 things alone that will pick up at least .2 a lap and the guys wouldn't know what hit them because it would be to late to copy it. Those usmts guys are good and that's a grueling schedule but from what I've seen personally they tend to be a bit lazy on the details. Guys like Scott and Jimmy aren't lazy on anything.
