Bloomquist Dirt On Dirt interview 2/18

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I just watched the interview and I DO NOT LIKE BLOOMER but nothing seemed outta the ordinary to me. He seemed just fine and I don't think anything was wrong with him in this interview.

You mean he doesn't look like he resurrected Pablo Escobar and they just snorted a kilo of Columbias' finest?

[SFrancisFan15]

lol nope doesn't look like he met up with George Jung before the race.

lol nope doesn't look like he met up with George Jung before the race.

Good movie too. Johnny Depp is a good actor.

When you consider how much time these guys spend on the road, working nonstop in the shop when they are home, the metal pressure to perform, the strain of being away from family, etc...it is a miracle they all are not dropping over from various health issues.

[CIRF]

And I might add that someone who can't get over the past, and continues to dwell on a certain incident that happened many years ago should be tested for their mental stability...

Awww, I'm sorry Mr. SNORT BLOOMQUIST FAN. NOT!!! Hehehehe!!

One drug conviction in like 1991. Let's not stretch it, or exaggerate it.

Schatz has a point. But who's going to pay for it?

2.7 grams, what a baller.

cnbf, wasn't there an incident out in Iowa, or did that get bought off and expunged?

Here ya' go, this was in The Mason City Globe Gazette:

MASON CITY - A Tennessee race car driver was arrested for driving while intoxicated and possession of cocaine early Friday morning by the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff's Department.

Scott Bloomquist, of Mooresburg, Tenn., was charged Friday morning at 2 a.m. on U.S. Highway 18 near Clear Lake.

Bloomquist, who won a race Wednesday night in Davenport, is a four-time national champion in the Extreme Dirt Car series, which features drivers from throughout the eastern and midwestern states. He is the first driver in the series history to top $1 million in career earning.

He has waived his preliminary hearing in Cerro Gordo County District Court, and his next court date has not yet been scheduled.






In regards to who pays for the cost of drug testing it may need to become a part of the cost of racing. Schatz makes some very good points. When Shane Hmiel was racing in USAC following his lifetime ban from NASCAR he admitted to being tested every week because of his past involvement and I would bet that USAC wasn't paying for it. I could be wrong but I'd make that bet.

The season may be to long but, These boys sign up for it. If they haven't learned to take care of themselves or the pressure is to great then they should change their program. Many people have to spend time away from their families, if it does not work for them then get out and do something else.

How is it that the Bloomers haters come up with this stuff after every time he wins??? Just makes you laugh...

Did you watch the interview or are you just yapping without seeing the thing?





Which banned 4m member do we have on our hands with this newly created SB FAN/?? who wants to guess?

[MRM]

I don't care how much a person loves racing. Running the schedules they do these days has to burn out some people. When too many people get burned out, they drop out and the sport suffers.

[WisWildManFan]

It takes a lot of time and effort to dominate the world...

[IZZOJR16]

I agree. That's just Scott. Kinda always been that way. Watch it there Mr I think the same can be said for Don ONeal and Jimmy Mars. You'll be there some day.

no I won't. I take care of myself and I'm a HEALTHY vegetarian who still exercises regularly , my health comes first, even closing in on 40. I'm not the same as I was when I was 25 but I can still do a lot of things a young me could have because I refuse to be a fat slob. My point was how bad bloomer looked this year compared to years past, it doesn't matter what you do, no excuse for being unhealthy. I know plenty of people that are in the 50's and that find time to take care of themselves and eat right one including a Dr. that probably works circles around any race car driver.

[IZZOJR16]

He's a hard working guy in his fifties whoopin' much younger tail!! He looked and sounded drained no doubt. When you're in your fifties you'll understand!! Old Guys Rule!!!

if he took care of himself maybe he wouldn't be so drained.

[IZZOJR16]

LOL Ya think maybe getting 3 hours a sleep a day and trying to keep 2 race cars going might make a persons eyes blood shot OMG

it wasn't just blood shot eye. something seemed way off.

[IZZOJR16]

Why do people read so much into sh!t? And over exaggerate things. You been racing for what, like three weeks with a few days off. You run your own team. You just got outta your car. You aren't a young pup anymore, I mean dam. Put a fine tooth comb over me come middle of summer, October, when we're working 70 hrs a week. I'm in my thirties and don't look like a spring chicken then.

dont get your feathers all ruffled up because some of us notice something seemed way off during an interview , regardless of how it was, its what we do, talk about drivers and OTHER RACING GOSSIP stuff here. AND yes it happened to be Bloomer the sports biggest star, so people are going to talk. I said in my original post he looks awful for someone his own age. Racing and working is NO excuse for being unhealthy and not taking care of yourself.

[IZZOJR16]

Yeah, this goes for a lot of us I suppose.

its all about will power and life style change.

[IZZOJR16]

Yes Father...

sorry , I'm getting a little too preachy in this thread.
