Bloomquist and McDowell, Juggernaut in the making or Titans United!?

Interesting Twitter response from Chris Ferguson on the subject, stating cars aren't exactly for sale to anyone and both Scott and Sweet aren't in it to be selling a volume of cars.

I've been wondering for the last year-plus why the Sweet-Bloomquist chassis hasn't taken off on the national scene. This may be the beginning if Dale and Jared continue running up front with Scott. The late model world needs parity on the chassis side. Everyone running to Longhorns, Disco cars, and now Victory isn't good for things.

I could NOT disagree with you more. Parity killed nascar, parity killed iroc. Variety is the spice of life and Spurs development. Keep your parity. I think people who lack creativity push for everyone to be the same, a Millenial trait.

It would be fun if nascar opened up the rear suspension rules

One reasons you dont see that many is that Scott doesnt want everybody to have one, it takes an act of the all mighty and alot of cash

He made money several years back on selling his chassis. At one point there was several guys driving a bloomer chassis. Eric Jacobson, Jimmy Owens, Brady Smith, John Blakenship. Just to name a few.

I don't think parity is the problem. The rules that were meant to create it is. When everything is mandated, it just gets boring. Parity when people are doing their own thing, is good, IMO.

I don't blame Scott for not selling to anyone. Good racers with good crew and a good car gets good feed back. Less than hat just eats time and energy, because your giving and not getting anything in return.

You see it all the time, where guys don't buy from someone because they don't get enough help. Could it be that some are bottomless pits of help wanted and have nothing to contribute. Scott cuts this off right at the bud.

Just thinking, I'm led to believe this deal between Dale and Scott was made last year at the Knoxville nationals. Both had to be feeling a little used up by Davenport by that time. I wonder if they would have made the deal today? Scott has been doing well, when he shows up on time and Dale hasn't been doing bad at all. Davenport found some rips in his cape. Well a little bad luck can change the complexion of a season. Come to think of it, a little good luck could make a world beater out of any one of 10 to 15 drivers.

I can see Bloomer selling a lot of the bloomer/sweet chassises once he retires. He will have more time. To be able help out.

When I made the comment that I was surprised there aren't more S-B cars out on the national scene, I didn't mean the number that it used to be with Wells, Owens, Eckert, Smith, Madden, etc. I just figured there would be more than Jared and Scott by now, and like people have suggested, maybe that's what Scott wants.

[Kromulous]

He already tried manufacturing chassis at his place, and selling cars / chassis etc. There were alot of guys with Bloomquist chassis, and winning alot too, Owens etc.

What happened? he got slow on the track, not enough time to do both. Running a chassis buisness and racing to win is to much. So this year, as he said at the end of last year was, i am re-focusing on my stuff and my racing.

Now he has brought Randy Sweet into the picture to handle the manufacturing of the chassis. Which means he can do the R&D pass it on to Sweet to incorp it into the Chassis.

Adding McDowell is genius.

I agree with you

I think we agree, but isn't "parity" everybody having to do the same thing? Kinda like income equality=socialism.

He brought Randy in for engineering on the suspension... Randy don't build cars.

Parity just means they are even. Like around 2000 when you could win a touring race with a 4 link or swingarm.
