Bloomeroid is lucky they are running late ...

[joshroth14]

So the haters are happy that Scott has to show up and run hot laps and qualify? Which means he will start up front at every event instead of mid-pack by missing qualifications. LOL. Be careful what you ask for.

Congrats. So you hate Jimmie Johnson, Richard Petty, Larry Moore, and on and on too correct?

I don't hate any more f those guys. I don't like Bloomquist because he is a a$$hole. He is the least humble guy I have ever heard talk. He has been caught cheating several times by several series. And it's never been his fault once. It's always the scale, or the lab, or the track, or series are out to get him. I have never heard him take responsibility once for any on track issue or tech issue. He is great, probably the best. But I just can't stand the "it's all about me" BS that follows him everywhere. I honestly can't think of another racer in any series I dislike.

That didn't take long:

From DirtonDirt: "After frequently tardy series champion Scott Bloomquist was late to Friday's event, starting with a series provisional after skipping time trials and his heat race, the Lucas Oil Series today instituted a rule that technical inspection closes 15 minutes prior to drivers' meetings at each series event. Drivers that don't have their cars inspected in that time frame are ineligible for provisionals. ...

Thank You Klemmabyna.
Thank You Lucas Oil.
Thank You God.

It's a start and about time.

What does being late have to do with disrespecting the fans? You know what makes a GOOD fan, someone with enough sense to wait till after the races to ask for autographs, t-shirts and pictures. A REAL fan would give their driver the time and space he needs to prepare, so he can run good, make some money and make the fan proud. This ain't Napcar, no paid salaries, you make what you win... I don't care what anybody says, being late is NOT a strategy, he only gets away with it(runs well) because he has so much experience and pre-race preparation.

his fans came to see him hot lap, qualify, run a heat, and run the a main.

[klemmabyna]

it is up to the series to respond. I would guess a majority of their racers are making themselves heard. we will see what happens the next time a regular arrives late.

Lets see, cant get to the track on time and was running last and getting lapped and people call him the GOAT. They also say meth is a heck of a drug...

If that was the case, I guarantee you, there would be 100 meth-head drivers showing up every week!

How does that take away all the wins and Championships he has?

[TS FAN]

I am not a bloomie fan, but I was certain his being late would dominate the conversation. Why he does it, doesn't matter to me. Just like haters of Stewart will grab anything and make it about something. LOL

Here is what I like about last night. A young man named Overton won a Lucas Oil race. Moyer Jr ran great but had misfortune, and Tmac looked good too. I guess we need about 130-150 posts on the zero running around in the back and spinning out a couple times.

[Stede Bonnet]

Too much complaining over non-issues...

he has "zero" respect for his fans. i'm sure lots of folks drove many miles to see him, and he couldn't get there on time, again. I would find a new driver to follow.

This website mines well shut down when bloomer retires.

I disagree with this I believe it is done purposely so they don't have as much time to tech his car it seems the only time he is late is when he has hit on something and is winning.

BTW after the winning tear he went on last year did his car spend 3 and a half hours in the tech shed after the race like they did Davenport the year before at Golden Isle ?

That's why I said as long as he goes through tech like everyone else. So however they tech others he should be tech the same.

[CarolinaDirt]

When you look the way he did last night, you don't win anything.

I'm surprised no one has qued up the video from him ramming the guardrail heading out for hot laps at gis a while back by now.

I don't really love or hate Scott , but when people get all stupid and say he's washed up , too stoned to race, etc. etc. it's just ridiculous.

They may be a rolling dumpster fire at times, but the results don't lie.

In my mind and your mind........your right.



In Scott's mind, who knows..
