    I don't see it as Scot going to a superior engine builder. I suspect Custom is giving Scott a deal he can't refuse financially to put them back in the spotlight.
    I remember when Scott jumped on board with Andy Durham. He was the first and now look how many are running his stuff.
    By making Scott the poster child for Custom Engines, they figure in time everybody will follow suit.

      No one claimed it was an upgrade. It is just as you describe. A business deal with a competent company.

        No one said it did. But when the owner comes out and says I haven’t been there, I got lazy, behind on technology, you tend to lose customers.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          Exactly. I really hope the best for them, but unless there has been a miraculous change in the last few months, I doubt it. Where did you hear that quote, by chance? I heard it 4 years ago, so if it's still being said... Well, you can deduce my thoughts from there.

            Was in the DoD article. Scott made him promise he was 100% committed to doing this and Larry said he was all in. Larry will be with him in AS and him or his son will be out on the road with him during the season. Sounded like Larry was wanting to get back on top one more time.

              Warrior race cars has moved from the building as Sanford is stepping away. It was on their Facebook anyways. One of the guys who works there is taking it over. (Mike Nuchols) and is in the process of building a new building in Knoxville.

                As Russ said, it was in the DoD article.

                  Well, I say it like this... I have ZERO DOUBT in my mind that Larry has the capacity to develop and maintain one of the best engine programs in the country. He has the knowledge, talent and resources. It was funny to read that quote, though, as I heard it in person years ago. Draw from that what you will. However, if they really put their best effort in, it will be a successful venture, as time will tell. It is quite telling though, out of two prior (and local) engine builders, which one was chosen.

                    You guys are hilarious. If you read what you actually post, Scott Bloomquist is in debt to just about everyone out there. The coach builder, the motor builder. Heck, how about tossing Hoosier tire in there too or his tubing supplier, that's why he can't build cars, nobody wants to give poor Scott credit. Hilarious.

                          I am pretty sure he is being sarcastic, making fun of posters like SS. SS just didn't catch on.

                                Just you are full of Bloomer BS. The hauler being repoed is the biggest pile of BS.
