I met Scott Bloomquist in the 90’s at the local race track Mountain Motor Raceway where my Great Uncle and Uncle were racing a late model driven by Steve Smith #3, we had been points champion, but when Bloomer came it was a whole new level of competition. I instantly had a new found respect for Scott. He is as genuine a guy as you’ll ever find, he will sign autographs and take pictures as long as it takes. He respects the fans as much or more than they respect him. Just an incredible individual for sure.

Love a young dude won, wish it was me. The youngter's emotion was inspiring, and to see Scott's reaction was great. 👍🏁

We dirt fans know Scott doesn't show emotion and does NOT typically do this type of stuff at all. This kid will have a great opportunity i can promise you that. Also I believe this may have soften the goat a little bit. Did I actually see a tear in his eye and hear his voice cracking when talking? Wow. Scott is the petty earnhardt together on dirt. Good stuff

@guitarman864 3 жыл бұрын

That is so cool! I'm not a fan of bloomquist, but I felt his emotion and excitement when he was talking to them! Hats off to you bloomer and that kid... it didn't look like a full sized car, but it looked bigger than a sharp mini late model..

@jcearnhardt393 3 жыл бұрын

If your a dirt fan somewhere in you is a Scott fan. Kinda like when earnhardt was alive, everybody had a little fan in them man. Scott is just to good not to like some, I go to alot of races. Seem him make it look way to easy. Not no fan either. We both know what I mean.

Bloomquist is a helluva driver, marketing genius, builder and an icon. Some say the greatest of all time. But he's definitely not in any shape to be an athlete. lol And I don't think they did it on a whim. Tickets were available way back in April and the drawing was originally suppose to be around September

@joracer1 3 жыл бұрын

No his deal is you have to be real good to get one of his cars, and there's a lot of stipulations, he made all his money by winning hundreds of races paying $10k to $100k. Bloomquist out smarted his competitors about 5 to 1 over his career. Bloomer when younger showed up to win if he didn't he was pissed, still shows up to win but if he don't he acknowledges he needs to work harder. He is better at big $$ dirt racing than Petty was at nascar. I'm guessing he's 60 or older he still has it, but noone likes to see a legend getting older.
