    Scott Bloomquist off of WoO tour?

    Just took a peak at Bloomers schedule, looks like he's going to pick and choose for the remainder of the season.

    If true it could certainly be prompted by how he’s been running. Still maintain he’s been through a lot in his personal and professional life, would impact a lot of us. Especially in one’s later years.
    I hate time trials.

      Kinda expected it ever since WVMS announced him for their "Historic 100" weekend in June, on top of an Outlaw weekend.

        Looks like he's picking the best venues for t-shirt sales.

          I mean, he’s not particularly competitive in most national touring races anymore, going to a true outlaw schedule allows him to only hit races at tracks he’s good at.

            This should surprise no one. At this stage of his career, why follow a series? I was amazed he did it last year.

              I would drop off too if I were as bad as he is right now. On another note, does a national touring series title really matter? Is it really that prestigious? It’s really not that big of a deal. When the guy that’s 6th in points at the end of the year only runs half the races, I find it hard to believe that the points title is worth anything besides an extra pay check at the end of the year.

              I think it’s only worth a safety net to ensure you get some kind of money to show up.

                  King, when has the guy running 6th in points ever ran half the events? 10-12 drivers run the full Lucas/WoO schedule every season.

                    I think the souvenir rig could pull up anywhere where he's not racing and sell thousands in merch.

                    I see Moyer Jr is off Lucas because of the broken foot. Thought maybe he'd lobby for the hardship points to atleast somewhat stay close to the top 12.

                      The deal with the soveneir rig: Scott doesn’t own that bussiness anymore. It belongs to Arizona Sports Shirts. Unknown what percentage He gets from the sales?
                      Just glancing at the schedule on his website ( which usually is not up to date) -it appears he is hitting the intermediate and larger tracks. He does have the PDC on the schedule. It shows Gaffney and Smoky Mountain Lucas races instead of WOO events on the same weekends. Who knows what’s going on in Mooresburg- I guess if he isn’t at Richmond, Kentucky Friday night we will know more? I would think DOD would be all over this by now.

                            Probably picking the ones with the best guaranteed money.

                              What’s your point in post #12? Are you just jabbing at me for some reason? If so- why?
