Scott Bloomquist Takes A Horrifying Flip At Eldora Speedway During Dirt Late Model Dream

[@VirtualRealityGamer1]

I’m so grateful that he’s okay and able to walk away under his own power!

[@TeamZero_18]

RIP to the Legend Scott Bloomquist!☯️⛓️👽🛸🖤

[@bradleydennis1263]

Sorry to say it, but you can't rest in peace when you off yourself.

[@dianeenlow123]

Seeing him walk to the ambulance was very relieving to a race fan’s soul.

[@BornAgainOutdoorsman]

RIP Bloomer. The best to ever do it a true legend that will be missed the racetrack won’t be the same.

[@polygon-viewer]

If you watch the location of Bloomquist's tires based on the track, he didn't "come up". He held his line, and Babb hooked him in the right rear. You can actually see Babb slightly steer to the left.

[@natureofnow]

He had to turn left to make turn 3

[@aaronarmstrong9776]

Go to google earth and look at the track. The back straight has a curve to it, so if you are going straight, you're coming up the track

[@natureofnow]

To clarify, I’m saying Babb had to turn left to make T3 just after contact was initiated. Seems like purely a racing incident. Close racing and slight misjudgments / being on the edge by both guys. Glad they’re ok

[@RedroomStudios]

Babb came down a bit and Scott moved up a bit. they barely touched but thats all it took.

[@BrennekeBowling]

[@_gr1nchh]

Honestly looks like Babb was trying to come down to cut the track off and take the inside line getting into 3 after the slider. But Bloomquist had a massive run out of 2. This stuff happens in a fraction of a second, you don't think to let off in that situation and by the time you do, you've already hit them. You see it all the time in all racing, if a driver hits another, they don't let out after they hit them, they keep going until the yellow is thrown. Apologize after but don't give up the spot. Much like in baseball when there's an injury on the basepaths. They still tag the guy out even though it's clear he's not going anywhere.

So glad to see Scott Bloomquest he was okay

[@zachpeterson4519]

I saw this live. I held my breath till he got out of the car, I thought it was gonna be real bad. I was so relieved when it wasn't and thought "that's too bad, hope he does better in the World 100". Little did I know this was the last time I would ever watch my hero race.

[@stevennewman8276]

Well,he had said 1 time he'd never been upside down. Now he can say he's been on his lid...

[@4theloveofDub]

I am normally an "anyone but bloomquest" guy. But that was a rough one and i was glad to see him walk away. I hope he recovers quickly.

[@mattfetter4123]

I know Bloomer and Babb are friends but, I didn't look like it there. Glad he walked away from that!

[@FishNFoolLures]

That Babb guy came down on him

[@51-FS]

I learned that once they green flag waves, the friendship goes away. I seen a guy spin his mom out to get around her for the win one night.

[@hoochgiese4735]

Holy hookn Babb, never even thought about lifting off the throttle and definitely never touched his brakes 😞. I look at Babb in a different way now! RIP Scott

[@shaundriggers7636]

Thanks to the Welders and fabricators for Scott being able to walk away. Been a fan of Bloomquist since 85 when he was #18 , one of the cleanest drivers on the oval! He's the king of Dirt.

[@stevehesseltine1898]

He's going to feel that one in the morning I guarantee you!

[@kycats8700]

[@1400hpnextgen7]

Why did the guy up high steer down and hook his right rear?

[@johnluke3425]

We are praying for Scott Bloomquest

[@cliff4695]

Looks like a racing incident. A really expensive incident

[@SJ-su8sq]

😮 dang glad he's ok man o man

[@bigmurph68]

Sorry Dustin (the announcer) but Scott didn’t come up.

[@FishNFoolLures]

Yup Babb came down into him.

[@raymondchapman5990]

That was 100% on Babb.....his car was angled down the entire time. I'm certain he was trying to cover the line so Scott couldn't get by and made a bad judgement.

[@stuartwall8212]

I have never raced, but I imagine the guys in/near the front have to make up their minds what they are going to do a little bit in advance based on their predictions. Bloomquist came down that straight faster than Babcock predicted? Two opposing race lines, and I bet both drivers thought, or pre-thought, that they would not contact. A batter has to start his swing based on where he thinks the ball will be and cant stop it after that. I am glad no one was hurt.

[@jeffrop2010]

Slow the video down scott was sliding up as babb was coming down

[@woodywood7759]

Bab never lifted even after Scott crossed into the wall. Probably just a racing incident but Bab could have let off the throttle Gee Whiz

[@ollysfishing4231]

If babb let off the throttle instead of turning left, wouldve been less nasty

[@keithcrowley5213]

Bloomer was doing the trademark take the nose off a car slide job. Sometimes it works sometimes, it doesn't . No fault on either driver. Just trying to get that 100k pay day.

[@RedroomStudios]

Babb came down a bit and Scott moved up a bit. they barely touched but thats all it took. it happened in a fraction of a second. some of you guys make it sound like youve never seen contact in racing before.

[@yankeefarmer6915]

@@keithcrowley5213 have you ever seen a slide job? lol Babb threw the slider.

[@TruthHurtsSomet1m3s]

And that's EXACTLY what Bloomquist was counting on, the guy will lift and let me by. Well, he didn't and that's the result. 100% Bloomquist's fault.

[@vinceedwards575]

If you slow it down on that video from the 3rd turn you can see that Babb came down and hooked Bloomer.

[@Sully4Real]

Glad the G.O.A.T is ok. Bab never lifted period. He should’ve lifted a tiny bit instead of turning the 0 around causing him to hit the wall and flip

[@RedroomStudios]

Babb came down a bit and Scott moved up a bit. they barely touched but thats all it took. these things happen in a fraction of a second. a lot of times the following car can get its nose right under the back end of the leading car without causing an accident. nobody sitting in front of a screen can pass judgement on that. these guys are going for big money and every position matters. they dont have the mindset to give an inch.

[@jimmyjackass1805]

@@RedroomStudios Hoarse Shit Plenty of time to let up and live to fight into the next corner. He drove right thru him and turned him. Never lost momentum and the tires never slowed down.. Def could have handled that diff However that's racing onto the next

[@Sully4Real]

@@RedroomStudios I agree but Babb could’ve very easily destroyed his race car as well. It’s a racing accident that’s all you can type about it but sometimes it’s better to give that inch than to destroy race cars imo

Why should he lift when Bloomquist hadn't made the pass? You realize it's a race, right?

[@janedunlap2714]

Babb could have eased out a hair, and avoided contact. But he didn't, even after making contact. This is one he needs to think about, as the outcome could have been very different

Yeah Babb obviously didn’t do that on purpose, and both of them were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Babb was coming back down off the top a little bit and Bloomquist was hard in the gas trying to clear Babb before they both entered the corner and came up. That’s the very definition of “one of those racing deals”.
