    Cheating the Pill Draw and Winning on Three Wheels: Classic Bloomquist

    I know there's already been a lot said about it, but regardless of how you feel about the pill-draw incident, it seems like this year's Show-Me 100 will be one of those classic comical episodes in Bloomquist's career. Anyway, you can find more on the subject here. > https://www.huntthefrontblog.com/sin...sic-Bloomquist

        The win makes the pill draw irrelevant. Maybe come up with a better way to draw.

          I can't stand Bloomers, but he has them covered as per usual. Pill draw was none of his doing, just some stupid hired help. He looks to be set to dominate the summer once again. For his fans, enjoy

            3 races, at one track, were impressive. But, don't take too big a leap yet.

              Palming pills was stupid. Not much to gain. Hiring someone that was to do that on his own,is real stupid.

                Conspiracy theory...
                Bloomer is sly enough to have staged the whole pill draw thing just to divert attention away from something else. Remember the World 100 a couple years ago with the window net debacle?

                Dude is a genius in this sport. I’d put nothing past him and his abilities to win

                  What is the something else? Where they draw the number and tech inspect the car is in two different scenarios.

                  The driver and only the driver should be allowed to draw. Not send a crew member or family member to do it. Your the racer you take the responsibility of going and doing it.

                  Owens had that race won regardless.

                    If you can prove to me Scott didn't know about that pill draw debacle, I'll kiss your butt on main street.
                    A 2 and a 91 were missing so he could turn in either pill to go early or late, depending on what the track was doing.
                    I would have loved to see the acting job when he (Scott) was confronted...I bet that was an award winning performance.

                    And why was that crew man allowed to stay in the pit area? He should have been promptly shown the door

                      Prove he did know. Though yes, Jordan should have been booted. That’s just dumb, as good as Scott was, he didn’t need to do that, made zero sense. You can’t make that crap up. Cheating tires, ok, that, I don’t think he had anything to do with it. Just dumb.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                        I still think Lucas is partially at fault

                          What I find more conspiratorial, is Show-Me Thursday night 0's transponder magically wasn't working from hot laps to his 2 qual laps, then they gave him a couple minutes to fix it, came back out and TOTALLY changed lines and qualified great. You mean to tell me NOBODY on that team noticed the transponder wasn't working? LOL.

                            Jimmy absolutely did not have that one in the bag fellas. He proved that but desperate times call for desperate measures. That so called slider was dumber than the attempt at the pill snag. If his car was as good as he says it was, why put yourself in that position. It’s a 100 lap race and 20 drove the race as if it were 60. Maybe he beat himself? Maybe he felt the pressure?

                              BTW, its hard to cheat a draw when they draw numbers first, then the low number is drawn. 200 pills, everybody draws, then an official draws a number, say 111, that is now zero- closest larger numbers to 111 are the low ones. You don't know what the low number is going to be so any cheat is fruitless.
