They didn't run 2 laps..... They took the green flag and went through turns 1 and 2 and Bloomer came flying out on the track. He was not a lap down. Hell he even restarted in 6th place after a caution. So if Eldora was saying he was a lap down, they screwed up the restart lineup big time. Either way he should have had his ass in the staging area like the rest of them.Originally posted by Bob Hubbard View PostThey ran 2 laps before bloomer got on the track at the caution ..... They said bloom was in tire tech .... Late again .....

With his stats, he failed. Failed what? To make a prelim night at Eldora, whiptey freakin doo. He fuked up in hot laps with a body brace getting his tire. Then he was late to his heat, and late to the bmain. He fuked up, oh well. Funny some can respect all the greats, and some just worship one and dog the rest. Stupid, but whatever floats your boat. Secretly I think you got Bloomer plastered to your ceiling and jerk it every time his name is mentioned.Originally posted by old fan View Posthe failed live with itUp in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.

Yep, he needs to pawn one of those dummy shocks and buy a wrist watch apparently. I am not a bloomer fan, but I love the show he puts on and story lines that his perpetual and unrelenting tardiness creates. Come on man, get your head out. Or find a crew member that is at least responsible enough to make sure you get to staging on time.
On the other hand, UMP/Eldora speedway doesn't really seem to know what they are doing either when it comes to making these calls. You line the man up like he's on the lead lap for a restart, and then wait till an hour later to tell him he hasn't made the race. And Marlar too when he jumped the start on Wendell and they didn't do anything until the end of the race and docked him two spots. Never really seen that before.

They explained last night why he was scored a lap down in the B Main (he did not grid with the rest od the cars- no one should be surprised by that!). As for lining up 6th on the restart, my guess is lapped cars restart where they are running in line regardless of the lap they are on.Last edited by TDRacin®; 06-10-2016, 03:18 PM.

Again, the rule is a driver jumping the starts will be penalized two spots on the next yellow. There was no yellow during his heat thus the two spot placing penalty after the race.Originally posted by zach51 View PostAnd Marlar too when he jumped the start on Wendell and they didn't do anything until the end of the race and docked him two spots.
