    No it doesn't excuse him for that but if that's what he's doing then that doesn't bother me as a fan. The biggest paying event since the million is coming up paying somewhere in the $150k range it's hard to argue with his work ethic for that event then.

      Oh I don’t blame him for testing. Such is the name of the game in high level late model racing, however, he absolutely should have cut his testing short by a half hour or so to get to Sharon on time. That’s just piss poor time management.

        If Bloomquist was testing how does he get around this?

        5.13 Practice Sessions
        A.) No practice sessions (testing) is permitted within seven (7) days (not including series organized practice nights at an event) prior to a series event at any venue.

        Is this just interpreted to mean that you can't test at the specific track where the event is being held? Seems the "at any venue" phrase would mean no testing, anywhere.

          Im pretty sure it means no testing at the track coming up, but......he has to be the master at interpreting the gray areas of a rule book!....... Smokey would be proud!

            It’s track specific.

              Geez, some of you clowns are embarrassment to manhood.

              His car, his career, he can arrive whenever the hell he feels like it.

                I just saw the video of the race. I did not see any holes or ruts in the track. What I did see was a race that was run in the daylight in 90 degree temperature and was OVER at 8:40 in the evening. This ended up being a daytime race on dirt. There are some dirt tracks in the country that produce good racing during the day but I have not been to any.

He had an easy top 5 last night instead threw away points because he's got to have an excuse for not winning. Tired of his antics. From what I hear he better win the Lucas title or theres going to be big changes next year.
                  Did you not hear that they had tractor trouble? Was they supposed to unload the car and drive it to the track? Why is your username planetzer0? You get there late and things can go wrong.

                    "WAS" is correct. Now it's just a sprinkle and go.

                          Still having issues? There was never issues. It just took a long time to be built. Who knows what it was, coulda been a flat, coulda been the regen system, on a lot of vehicles they still aren’t very good. CAT had it figured out, Cummins did not. Or that was a piss poor excuse and they were just late.
                          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
