    Why is Scott Bloomquist racing Modified in NM?

    Curious to know why he opted for a $10,000 to win modified show in NM when he could have opted for the $15,000 to win at Whynot Raceway in MS. Is he trying to gain sponsorship from that area as in the Harley Davidson sponsorship that's on his modified? Simply asking a question here and not implying anything.

    He’s driving for the Scott brothers. I’m thinking they asked him if he wanted to run for 10k and he said yes. Racing is always more fun when somebody else is picking up the tab.

      Go run a modified show and make money and use up somebody else’s equipment. Or abuse his own equipment? Makes sense to me

        i don't think he has any financial stake in the mod so his earnings are probably better dollar for dollar

              Perhaps build rapport with a couple future customers?

                I'd actually like to see him run more mod events if the schedule doesn't conflict.

                  I’m with you. I wanna see guys like Bloomer cross over into the mods just to see where they stack up.

                    Definitely. Maybe add a few bigger wins to the resume as well.

                    Anyone think some day we could see some Sweet- Bloomquist mods out there?

                      There is already a couple mods out there with Scott's touches on them. I dont know if Randy had any input on them or not.

                          I was thinking there might be but didn't know to what degree.

                            Because the team he’s driving for went.

                              Didn’t he makes some changes to that Hughes chassis he ran a few years ago when he couldn’t go to the World?
