    Bub Mccool

    He was driving Tommy Surretts back up car. It's a black diamond car I believe, not sure if it's the same one he drove earlier this year though. I heard Bub and his co-owner had a falling out is why he disappeared earlier in the year.

      Just a tidbit of info. The car he is driving is a car Bub had. Also the man he was driving for is here calling the shots for Bub. I know because I saved them a spot and they are parked beside us.

        I like ol Bub slm he is wide open and not scared to mix it up out there on the track and he interacts well with the fans from what ive seen of him..
        If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

          Very true Nasty. So many people came by his pit it would make your head spin. He is a heck of a guy and he1l of a wheelman. He had a flat in his heat last night and had to run a bmain tonight. He got it done though. He was the last car locked in.

              I remember the interview he was hot but for good reason. I'm pretty sure it showed him and track owner or race director arguing. Thinking it was at Greenville but not sure.

                    What caused him to go off? Kept saying not even the man who ran the track wanted him to win.. Like to know what was behind all that because the Mohawk man snapped lol

                      At least this guy has some personality!... lot better than hearing "thanks to Penske for the shocks, High $$$ Engines for the over-priced bullet under the hood and my rich uncle for that last $40,000 he gave me...."

                      I just may be a new fan.... and his mohawk matches my girlfriends except his is on his head...

                        Krooser you got it all wrong my man. When you hear just say, Scott thank Andy Durham that's not for an overpriced engine because Scott either got that engine really cheap or more than likely in his case it was probably free. I know the Penske shocks are free also. You have to show appreciation to your sponsors because without those sponsors Bloomquist wouldn't be racing. I have nothing against mccool but he is a little rough around the edges. When you race for a living that makes you a professional, therefore you have to act like it. If Scott would have acted that way after a win his main sponsor in Mike Reese would probably pull his sponsorship. As a driver, you represent every single name on that racecar and you have to act accordingly. Bub has a job and races for a hobby so he can act however he wants. When your a professional and have major sponsors you have to act professional on and off the track. Sponsors will fire you in a heartbeat if you screw up. Well there is everyone's public relations lesson for the day lol. Just felt I would clear all that thank this one and that one BS up for you

                          Bub

                          He went off because Chad Thrash is the son I believe of the guy who does or did own/promote Greenville. And they made some questionable calls against Bub and as you can see, he was pi$$ed.

                          I'm all good with it, more power to him.
                          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                              Scott pays the same as anyone for his engines, he wants the best, not the cheapest. Think of all the races he has lost in the past due to engine failures. The engines Andy builds are phenomenal, both in power and reliability. They're worth paying for.
