#0 was the #3 of Dirt Late Model racing. Every time when you would go to a big race, I always looked around to see if Bloomer was there. Whether you were a fan of him or not, the dude was one of the two best ever to race dirt late models. The other being Moyer. I am so proud to be from the state of Iowa. Two of the best. R.I.P. Scott.
Well said 🙏
Bloomer and Moyer both grew up in Iowa.
Mine and my brothers favorite drivers we were fortunate enough to meet and chat with both also still got both of their autographed tees hanging in the closet! Not sure what year it was but I'm about to be 50!
@@tommorris8756 I started liking him after Jackie Boggs passed away weather you hated him he was the greatest
I wasn’t a fan, but have to give respect to the man and his legendary status. Hands down one of the absolute best to wheel a late model
It's really sad, because my grandpa was friends with Scott. When we went to events like Dirt in December, my family always cheered him on. He was like a family member to us. RIP to one of the greatest racers of all time, Scott Bloomquist.
Bloomer will be missed. Can’t deny him the 🐐 status.
Rest in peace GOAT 🐐.
A Man onto himself. They broke the mold when they made Scott Bloomquist. Lived life to his own beat. How do you not admire and respect that. Rest In Peace Bloomer.
Im 57 today reminds me of hearing the passing of Richie Evans at Martinsville on the local news ! My parents would take us to tracks all over NY to watch the greats of modified racing and watch my uncle with his street stock! like Richie was the goat of the mods Scott was the goat of Dirt Lates! RIP Scott Bloomquist .
Wow, is that an incredible name to put Scott's alongside and he's absolutely deserving. Everyone has Foyt, Andretti, Parnelli, Gurney on their Mt. Rushmore of racing. Mine is Scott Bloomquist, Steve Kinser, Richie Evans, Dick Trickle.
@@kyleolson279 You can not leave B. Moyer off that list. He slowed down to teach his son how to work on and race a Late Model also. Billy Moyer was winning more big racest then Scott till he slowed down.
@@billschaefer3818 I AREE im just old school go TMAC
One of the best to ever on dirt ! At any track, will definitely missed.
Love him or hate him you had to respect his driving ability
I was a fan of his and Damn he was good No Fear only person I’ve ever seen win on three wheels God Bless condolences to the family from west Tn!
That race was definitely a historical race
I forgot all about that it was so badass.
All 4-Bar L.M.'s till around 2005 were on 3 Wheels most of the time.
What a heart break! I'm 52 and I remember watching the here at Lancaster motor speedway when I was just a kid! Condolences to the family with love and remembering my hero! My friend's the James gang used to chase him around that track will ALWAYS be in my mind. I have cleaned so much dirt out of my eyes from Mr bloomquist I could probably build a dirt track!! We will meet again someday!! It's a sad day! RIP!! He will be missed!!
What a loss! He was à great racer and was so instrumental to the evolution of the dirt track late model stock car!
I was always waiting for that Book. He was going to write
Love the Bloomer
So sad. RIP...
I've been a fan for well over 30 years. Got to hang with him at Lebanon Valley Speedway in New York. Couldn't stop myself from walking over and sticking around. The coolest thing ever is that I have raced there a lot and took it upon myself to throw some advice at him and I will be damned if he didn't go out on the track and do just what I said and he was fast. If he hadn't had a radiator problem he would have had them licked.
Very sad for the racing world say what you you want about the man but he was one helluva racer in his career didn’t have the best type of personality to everyone. I was fortunate to get his autograph in charlotte one year. Rip Scott
The Dale Earnhardt of dirt late model racing, everyone knew who he was
Losing scott gives me the same sad feeling as when we lost dale!
Nice job of your interview JD! I'm sure it's difficult to sit and vocally reminisce on memories with Scott without getting emotional. But one thing is for sure when others hear the name Eldora Speedway like myself you'll instantly think of Scott! May you R.I.P and watch over your friends that are carrying on the Dirt Late Model tradition that you made the GREATEST SPORT today! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The GOAT
On my Mt. Rushmore of late model drivers Scott is at the point, George Washington's spot. Moyer and Purvis join him there.........4th? Maybe Freddy........maybe Moran or even J.D. here.......
The dirt world will never be the same
Man I didn't watch a lot of dirt till recently but I always knew who Scott Blomquist was,he was cool and I love airplanes too,we use to race At Lanier and JD will carry on with the rest of the guys
I remember the day he unloaded at eldora for the first time, went out there and kicked everyone's butts.
Man! Not the news i wanted to hear today. Eldora won't be the same!
Rip Scott.
I would like to hear Brian Birkhofer's view of Scott Bloomquist!
Also the aliens in the cigar shaped UFOs must have gotten Scott!
Racing definitely lost one of the best drivers around and will be missed 🏁🏆
No weak links ❤ RIP bloomer
You know there was a checkered flag flying when bloomer crossed the greatest finish line of all… welcome to heaven sir where all the streets are paved of gold, and every day is spent in the winner’s circle!!!!
Still can't believe this is true. Not a huge fan but this man could drive anything you put him in. The racing world lost the best of the best.
What other racecars did he race and win in? Moyer was the best. Scott was great in L.M.. If Scott would of stopped his off track deals his racing deal would of been easier for him, he had sponsors drop him because of it. One Sponsor lost the complele Truck and Trailer (loaded) for almost a full year over him. (impounded by the Law)
SCOTT B. WAS DELIGHTFULLY QUIRKY
👍👍🇨🇦✌️🇨🇦✌️🇨🇦👍✌️🙏
Man this is terrible. It really goes to show when it's your time to go to the Lord, it's your time. Race in Paradise Black Sunshine. 🏁☠️🏁
I had the pleasure of attending many races which Scott was in, and not one time did I ever see him cheap shot another driver whether it was a win or loss. I always believed he was using a marketing psy op saying the things he said. He would always say you had to make yourself stand out and he did an excellent job of it. He was also the greatest dirt racer I ever saw and a mechanical genius in his own right. May he R.I.P.
Jd is a bad dude but bloomquist is the best
We lost a bigger than life ball of dude~ aint no way to put him in any box or you'ld be wrong.
