    I hate to say it,but as good of a car owner and innovator Scott is,he may need to look into deals like McCreadie's or Laniggan or Oniel and try to find someone to run his team and crew so he can just show up and drive. I applaud him for making it this long owning his own team,but there have been so many screw ups this year that there is no way in this day and age of racing that he can make sure all the responsibilities of others are done and drive the car too. Just look at how organized the longhorns team is or Best performance. It's just too much for one guy.

      McCreadie's has always been as good of driver as this year shows. But now he doesn't have all the responsibilities ,the driver can't do all the maintenance,drive the rig,hire the crew,etc. Tim is back on top because all those issues he used to have are now not his problem. He shows up with one thing on his mind. Mash the gas. Time for Bloomer to concede his need to control everything on the car and let a car owner worry all of that. He has sponsors to take with him,so I think he needs to rethink things and work something out with another team to just drive the car.

          No doubt. This has been Scott's downfall dating back to last year. Not only does he have to many responsibilities, the current help he has is not working out. He needs a top notch crew guy. I don't remember this being a problem when He had Tommy doing the work.

            Agreed. But, it's gotta be somebody who can put up with Scott, and also be able to have his respect and stand up to him and they talk it through and move on. Like a Tommy Hicks.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                Could he have lost a chunk of lead during the race?

                  bloomer is kind of like our president , gone be hard for him to veer from his beliefs , I believe when he finally does decide to hang his helmet up , he will put a younger hot shoe in his seat , but that will be tricky also because bloomer will always be " the boss" and that may hamper communication between them, however dont look for this " show up and drive" theory out of him any time soon, JMO.........

                      What is Tommy doing now? I haven't seen him with Wells this year.

                        He can always sue the track.That seems to have worked out well the last time for him.

                              I agree. This guy continues to shoot himself in the foot. I am no way a fan of his, and he seems to be out of step quite often. I do not know anything about his team, but I do know the car is usually out front. Best car on the track more often than not. I do not see other top teams making these kind of gaffs.

                                When it gets in his pocket enough, he will fix it. Scott is no dummy. Sometimes when you fix things in the crew, is more important than how you fix them. The nut and bolt maintenance is important No matter how many times that nut was tight before, it just takes one time if it's loose. This creates a good work ethic and makes the team feel they deserve to win and the car ready to win. This may sound like mumbo jumbo, but it's just sports physiology.
