2014: When Darth Vader Destroyed the World

Highlights of Scott Bloomquist's impressive run throughout the World 100. Video also includes post-race interviews (courtesy of DirtOnDirt.Com)

[@jasonjackson5493]

He is by far the greatest to ever grip it and rip it in a super late model......man can build and setup a car and has stayed more consistent than anyone else

[@wesleyblanton2432]

Who's Here because of Dale Jr's podcast?

[@kevinwalker7102]

This guy!

[@RUSTON51EVADP]

Good runs deserve accolades there it was, is,always

[@shawntaylor4415]

To me personally that was probably the best interview ever , Are used to not be a fan of his but it just goes to show when you sit down with someone on a personal level it will change your mind

[@Mr.Martin4500]

This Guy, just a year later 😂

[@ericteipen]

I ran 2nd to him on IRacing last year. He beat by .006 to the line lol. Chatted for a while with him.. Helluva nice guy!!!

[@bernieharper4177]

Even tho he's done all that. You still gotta say he's one that will make you have butterflies when he shows up.

[@allenlwade330]

[@Mr.Martin4500]

@bernieharper4177 Done all what?

[@ronmiller682]

The man is a beast when he gets behind the wheel. I don't think I've ever seen him smile that much.

[@prohen3049]

He cuts those corners so tight, nobody else is even down there. He definitely has that car set up right to make that track short

[@billywaynehuggins8567]

In the 90s I watched him race at Lakeview Motor Speedway and win the hava Tampa 100 and he was toting the left front wheel all the way around that track and it was the fastest I've ever seen anybody at Lakeview to this day

[@farmboy009]

Probably racing against Mark Miner back then!

[@anthonyjones5481]

I was at this race it was a truly impressive display of dominance from one of the best wheelman to have ever drove a super late model

[@charlesbennett1188]

All the way to the back and he still came back and won the race. Scott your the Man!!!!!

[@magnum7024]

Living legend, the Goat!

[@8jamiebolar8]

Best race I’ve ever seen in my life

[@papascooter513]

say what you want about him being this and that, the man is the smartest person when it comes to dirt late models. now we get to see him take a shot again at the biggest mod race this year.

[@DeaDEye.21]

Exactly 💯

[@SpacklerTurf]

Guy said hold my window net, I got a race to win

[@King1614]

The window net was the distraction for those F1 shocks he had on. Great times

[@scottmiller3025]

It was awesome hearing him mention Atomic, I watched him and Purvis,and Ronnie Johnson run there many times when I was a kid.... I miss the ol track😞

[@ninney794]

You and me both!

[@dirttrackdevil1149]

Same here I think it's a trucking Depot now I miss scenic and big South fork raceway too

You are the man, the legend. Awesome job.

[@bradthomas2742]

I've been watching bloomer for 30 years,he's always been great,I would have loved to seen him in NASCAR,I bet a few championship years would have been different.

[@realwildracer28]

This is the most awesome video

[@thegonz7833]

Seen him on the dale show,the bro is a badass!

[@josephdeffendoll3056]

What a great guy. He's well spoken , intelligent ,and a great driver. I think I am a new fan of Scott's.

[@frankfranks2308]

Welcome to the club. We love Scott.

[@woodywood7759]

This was my first time ever at Eldora, I still remember these 100 laps like it was yesterday, i was probably as pissed as Black Sunshine when they sent him to the rear but I new he was fast and had a perfect handling car, and who is better than Scott at driving from the rear and saving tires🤘🤘!!!! So happy I got to witness this in person it was fucking amazing

[@kylehellams8558]

Hes the GOAT. But hes grooming one in that other o car that will be lethal behind the wheel

[@woodywood7759]

@@kylehellams8558 I keep wondering when he is gonna retire, I figured within the next 5 years if not sooner!! And yes he has been looking fast, him and bloomer ran side by side with him ending up ahead at the checkered a few times last year. Glad to see #44 back in a Bloomquist chassy

[@kylehellams8558]

@Johnathon Wood cannot confirm but rumor has it that Madden will take over for the GOAT soon

[@woodywood7759]

@@kylehellams8558 its looking that way... I'll be sad to see Bloomquist give it up but at least he has decided to place another good driver in his chassis and still gives me somebody to route for on the Bloomquist team

[@popeyee36sailor38]

The question I have could Dale Sr done this feat if he was still around ?

[@chazbuchinsky19]

Ive yet to see such a dominate race car in my life. He is the best hands down

[@LEG1TBuRNS]

Chaz Buchinsky that Rocket #1 is surely in contention for that. 24 wins in 55 races this year. 50 top 5’s and 2 crown jewel wins

[@frankfranks2308]

there will never be a driver as good. these new cars drive themselves.

[@beavismcquevis5]

anybody know what part of this video he was sent to the back?

[@TheRockmart]

hes a natural and a damn good driver gotta give him credit

[@joen5332]

That right there shows you why I still like the fast car starting at the tail of the field. I always took more pride starting at the rear working my way all the way up to the front compared to starting up front and being a fast qualifier and know that you should be running up front no matter what when you already started up there

[@jimmyneal1988]

Alot of fast racecars have been destroyed because they had to start in the back, I always hated winning a heat race only to start in the rear because the promoters wanted a better show.

[@johnnycooper7614]

the best of all time

[@richardlynch6792]

Well he's a couple hundred features behind the GOAT.

[@Cl-1993]

If my father sent me to racing school, i could do the same. And paid for for $100,000 frames and the same amount for engines.

[@jacobfelsing2887]

Cody Livesay so you’re saying, if you had someone footing the bill, you would be the best of all time? Highly doubt it.

[@jacobfelsing2887]

Keith Clark What I’m trying to say is, no matter the equipment you have, it still takes unbelievable talent to be a good driver. Especially at all the tracks, because as you know they’re all different and bring out different driver’s strong suits and weaknesses.

[@landonmurray3814]

Billy moyer will always be better

[@Riley4CHRIST]

If you think about it Scott Bloomer won the World 100 every 13 years

[@StFidjnr]

14:06 IT'S GREEN IT'S OFFICAL Scott Bloomquist has won the 44th world 100 late model race

[@down-n-outinNC]

Use to watch him in the Hapatampa series when it would come to Lake View SC

[@pauljstod8804]

That thing was hooked up

[@sudsysutherland359]

Smart thinking with the window net for drag & a bit of side force coming out of the corners & to give everyone something to talk about & take the heat off of what is illegal in the car lol

[@charlesbennett1188]

When you're the top dog you can afford it.

[@oleboy4332]

Legend!

[@gentoolive]

One of the greats.

[@steveashworth6707]

I'm here cause I love Bloomer!.

[@haiwin224]

I remember going to my first Lucas Oil Super Late Model race at I-55 and remember there was an equal amount of of love and hate for Bloomquist back then (early to mid 2000s can't remember the exact year). He won the feature that night and there was people booing the guy. I guess at the time the Show Me state had a thing against winners.

[@matposton87]

If you look closely when they pull it off his car it was a window net attached with bolts or rivets to a piece of plexiglass, but he still dominated without it

[@tracyladd8379]

Bloomer best ever

[@Straitliner]

I am not a Bloomquist fan but I appreciate what he has done and he deserves a lot of respect. I agree with previous post.

[@gaylehiner9511]

Ive been on the side of putting cars together, what great respect i have for scott. You never know when your going to get paid by winning a race. The skill set you halft to have to make these cars dig into the track and go. Also the variables that go into decision making, its so much going on in your head and to keep this all in working order is monumentle. Im so happy for him to see years of trial and error come together. Hard work is very rewording. There is always a winner in the race, just wish people would know how much it takes to get there and its all for our entertainment.

[@barbarapoppenga9501]

He's not the best srry

[@emersonaxsom2190]

hawk z it’s impossible rank drivers in racing, there is so much luck involved. But you definitely can’t say Scott isn’t one of the best🤔

[@p.b.sHUNTING]

The part they pulled was an aero-window net.....not that it played a part in the performance.

[@zacharyradford5552]

If anything it made him angry and that upped his performance.

[@thor4224]

It was an aero advantage if you noticed the clear plastic on the inside of the net, effectively making it solid so air cant pass thru

[@clydesdalegaming1140]

UMP is an insurance company that knows nothing about dirt track racing.

Man he good!!!

Yes that particular window net would be considered illegal as it does enhance performance with the plastic. But that car was just hooked up the whole night and he could just put it anywhere and make speed. Love him or hate him, he just flat out out drove the field.

No. Didn't you see the green light after he was weighed?

[@zumptt]

Why do people allow gatekeeping it is the worst look for a sport. What fkin benefit would you get from a window net other then safety? literally nothing and at the time their was no rule which means banning it is gatekeeping by definition.

At the start of this video they mention his heat win. Only reason why he won, was because Berky blew his motor. He would not have caught up to Berky during the heat (not enough laps). Don't get me wrong, Scott is the greatest LM driver ever.

[@jeffbowling8891]

Think Jeff Purvis was , but I give scott credit. He chased Jeff around the tail end of his dirt career and said . "if Im going to be the best , I have to beat the best, while others drivers avoided Jeff Purvis and did not want to race if he was going to show up at the dirt track most of the time, but I would have scott likely 2nd on my all time list.
