    I still think Bloomer can win and will win a couple of races this year but, time will tell.
    I didn't mean Bloomer could not win anywhere. I am just saying the big events at Eldora. My guess is he will make the Sat show and for sure Overton.

      Bloomer was solid last night until he blew a driveshaft

          No. It’s because of PPV and PPV only. Thursdays always have high ratings as far as tv sporting events. Saturday nights, people are doing other things, including going to their local track etc.

            Bloomer is his own worst enemy. He showed up late Wednesday. What would have happened had it not rained out? And then late for his heat race on Thursday afternoon, if it wasn’t for Eldora being generous and giving bloomer an extra pace lap, he wouldn’t have made it out for the heat either. The dude just loves controversy.

              I have been watching Bloomer's act since 1988. I am not a fan. Sometimes I wonder if he has a mental block when it comes to following the rules. Most of what he has done is simple minded. He may love controversy, but acting up like he did for this past event (1,000,000) to win tells me he has mental block.

              No excuse whatsoever for this nonsense.

                It’s quite embarrassing. From multiple Twitter reports, he didn’t even have his tires ready on Wednesday night. He had to groove them all night. He’s known about this race for how long?

Did Donnie Moran own his own team and equipment when he won it? If he did, that would be a big (at least to me) difference in the financial windfalls to both drivers.
                    I don't know about all of the equipment. But i do know CJ Rayburn owned the car.

                      Yeah I didn't take it that way. I was just saying I think Bloomer will win a couple of races. He looked pretty good in the heat race tonight once he got out into some clean air.

                        4 or 5 positions better than Bloomquist in their perspective heat races.
