    "You take him out of the picture and this form of racing becomes less interesting."

    I've been around this sport for over 50 years and Scott hasn't been competitive for the last so many years and this form of racing is still as interesting with or without Scott in the picture. Sprint Car racing has survived and is just as interesting with the retirement of 11 The King 🤴 Steve Kinser and Kinser has more wins and championships than Bloomquist.

      I think along with not getting any younger, his multiple health and motorcycle accident related issues, his personal life seeming to spiral into chaos during and after the divorce, and the tumultuous uproar that his business dealings seem to have gone even before Cody got involved, have all combined to expedite the inevitable slowdown of a great career. I don't see him coming back to do much (in the way of results/wins), perhaps another race win or two in a small regional race, but the days of seeing him as a serious contender on a national level or a threat at the crown jewels/big stage ... over...IMO. Really too bad for what he's meant to the sport, kinda reminds me of Darrell Waltrip's last few years on the NASCRAP circuit.

        Scott's drive ? Really, the guy has no idea how to tell time. You can call it what you want but showing up late, not getting the car in line for the heat race. This has been going on longer than anyone can give a legitimate reason as to why it happens all the time.

          Finfan, did you just compare Bloomer to DW?😉That could cause quite a ruckus on here.

            His divorce is still pending- so technically he is still married.

                    It may be a little easier to count Scott out right now, but I still wouldn't.

                      A 60 year old man with big injuries that he refused to take serious. He isn’t ever going to be half as good as he once was.

                        If he is half as good as he used to be he would still be better than some drivers. By the way.... Scott is 58.

                                How old is the guy at Cherokee with the orange or yellow car?? Number 12 I think. Rumor is they give him show money because he has supported the track for decades and decades.
