Bowyers two cars switched to penske shocks over the off season did they confiscate oneal's or francis's "cheater shocks" cause lord knows penske wouldnt sell bowyer a set he isnt big time enough for them lol prolly couldnt afford them either only scott bloomquist can .......

Well shocks or no shocks bloomer will find a way to win.. But you don't think he made back up plan if they did that to him? This is the man that doesnt let every on his secrets and tricks up his sleeve.

I have no clue about shocks, but there where only like 7 or so cars running at the finish, track was rough, and I dont think any shock would have cured that. As mentioned above Scott is a warrior, he will overcome many things others can't. Weather is better today so the track should be much better, the rain Wednesday night thru Thursday am was steady, with it pouring cows and horses at times. Lucky to get the show in with that much rain and not real good weather!

i stand corrected, from what i understand his shocks where taken last night . The dude still picked of 9 cars to a top 5 finish so lets not act as if he is out in left field .

There was a shock package from Penske the Scott, Madden, and Overton were running at the end of last year. Heard that's why Overton was in the older Bloomquist cars instead of the newer Club stuff. Anyway, several bigger guys in the pits at Dixie were griping about it, and heard then they were going to outlaw the combination for this year.

This is not rumor, its what I saw and heard. Guess it was true.

That being said that package would not have been great on the surface they had last night anyway. Smooth and slick it's hard to handle. Scott's awesome, and is going to win a ton of races every year, but this guy is not far off in his initial report.

Shocks that can be electronically adjusted even by a smart phone have been outlawed per Lucas oil.

Not trashing Scott all I'm saying the advantage he had at the end of last year was taken away.was parked across from him and they were making major changes all night. Never could get car to settle down. Maybe being a non points race he was experimenting. But he is back on equal ground with everybody shock wise and to night the real season starts and tonight might be totally different.

Hello is there anyone out there ?????? Bloomquist constantly changes tires and shocks when they run for peanuts.Seen him at Eldora 2 years ago at the thursday night before the Dream during the feature heading to the pits every 5-6 laps changing tires before that I seen him change his shock package couple times between hot laps and heat races.You are really working hard to come up with something thats not there give it a rest like him or not he is in the top 3 in the nation each year lets play another gane like GO FISH lol

Lucas oil outlawed his shocks and he struggled all night. Wasn't close to being competitive.

Wait till Saturday night when the pocket change turns into a PURSE. We shall see "Competitive"......L0L

The Race Thurs. night was a non-points race also....

I'm curious as to what kinda shocks you think he had that they took? Second, spell his name right if you wanna launch an attack. Third, he usually doesn't come outta the gate hot, he doesn't win much at all at East Bay, never has. He does a lot of testing and experimenting early in the year, sometimes he wins early, but not often.

Seen it many many times.....when there is little at stake, Bloomquist tests,tunes and works his azz off to be in position to claim the gold at the end of the rainbow. No one will out work this guy. Bloomer is a rare breed.....Owner, mechanic, driver, student of the game.
