    Not 1 person knows what his injuries were from that motorcycle mishap. Hip, yes to what extent, guess ? I personally had hip replacement surgery and in 30 days I was back playing pickleball, I took it easy for the next 2 weeks then have gone full bore after that. Stop about the injury because he has had many more issues. Divorce, passing of Randy sweet, droop rule, bringing cody in, which I don't see what that relationship has helped Scott. Garage help, pit help. He's a train waiting to derail. I believe Cody may have been the guy behind drydene. I betcha it was pitched to drydene that team 0 , 3 cars, where going to be on top of the woo at seasons end

        You are correct on your list of problems- except still working on the divorce situation. I am not quite sure but I think Weiss had the Dryedene sponsorship before team zero ? I agree with you- Cody probably put the Dryedene deal together for Scott/ Madden.

          0 was always better in the slick than everyone else. Now everyone else has caught up. Scott can’t run the cushion in his cars and he no longer has the advantage of knowing come feature time he will get better as everyone else slows down. I don’t think it is a health issue at all anymore. The cars are different, the technology is different and you’re seeing probably the best thinker of all time in terms of DLM racing struggling to adapt and find speed.

            There was this one jughead that knew exactly what Scott's injuries were and predicted he would be back from the injuries "SOON".......haven't seen him around lately.

                Here we go again, for the 123rd time this year ( yes; I'm being faceous here ); posters on here bring up the " doom and gloom and demise of the greatest stock car driver of all time " ! Billy Moyer is 62 and hasn't lost one bit of talent in my opinion, and yes, Scott has had his misfortunes recently, but I've stated this before, and will state it one more time. He's (Scott) still got the talent to run up front and when all this muck clears the runway, he's going to have another go at the brass ring. I chatted with him for about five minutes Saturday and he hasn't lost his desire, and oh yes, its been trying for him in alot of ways, but I got the impression that he's got one more successful comeback in him. And sitting in turn four in the infield Saturday night the fans still acknowledge him with the biggest response and applause one driver can expect. He still draws the racing fans to these events and will continue to do so till the day he retires. Nothing will ever change that !

                  I think you nailed it. Having the desire to be that d@mn good is what makes guys like Moyer & Bloomquist so good. In the last month or so Scott has shown some flashes of being able to run up front. If he puts together a whole weekend where he wins a heat race a wins the feature then I think the doubt some folks have will be put to rest. If he does that multiple times then I thing you will see many just shut up about it. First though I think he needs better help in the pits with his crew. Cody was pretty good and so was Tommy Hicks. If he can find a guy like them I think things will come together a good bit faster then they are. Just my two cents.

                      The two guys on his crew at I 80 had to be 55+ years of age, not knocking my age, but he needs younger crew help. When you need a 2 step riser to get in your car, your not gonna make 100 laps with the likes of Sheppard or Erb.

                        If, if, if. Can he still get it done ? I'm sure he can, but as in life there comes a time when the burden you take on becomes something that gets so big you never recover. The last person to see it is the person that creates it. Can Scott win another globe ? I'm sure he can. Can Scott win a lucas or WoO crown ? Or be a constant threat ? No, I think that ship has sailed.

                          he may have stepped in and saved the SBR business last year, but as long as the partnership with cody exists i dont see things being back like they were. Its ashame because there is no one to replace him, that does things on their own and keeps people talking good or bad. I can only remember so many 20 year olds that are the next big thing

                            You would be a fool to think he cant win anymore, and even dominate. He is the best for a reason.

                            Why do people think guys like Bloomquist dont have hard times? Its almost like some think these guys are immune to it. Go listen to Mark Martin talk to Dale JR about his 82, 83 season, that just about broke him, but he said that he never wanted to quit, because he is a racer, and that's what he does. Bloomquist is the same way, there is up and downs, but he is still out there, and still working, for god sakes he was racing while needing a walker !

                            He will recover, he will win again, and he will come up light on the scales, and do something to set everyones hair on fire on 4m, because that's who he is, good or bad.

                            Just say no...

                              His hip was destroyed. He said so himself. He didn't have a simple replacement.

                                100 laps? Is there another Erb we don't know about?
